<p>I broke my wrist last night, and I need to get rid of the writing section. If I just don't respond to the essay, will it affect my score? I tried to change it online, but couldn't.</p>
<p>It shouldn’t affect the composite.</p>
<p>BUT, the ACT with writing is normally taken because colleges require it. If the colleges you’re applying to require the writing, then you’ll more than likely have to re-take it.</p>
<p>Almost all of the schools I’m applying to say I need the writing. So, is there any point in going Saturday? I can just take it in September and October.</p>
<p>Can I get a refund if I don’t go?</p>
