<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Okay, so on the ACT i received a 27 without doing much prep at all. Do you think that its possible to get up to a 33 or so by Oct. with a lot of preparation? Also, I'd like to know how much the writing score would improve my score. Thanks a lot.</p>

It won't.</p>
<p>why wouldn't it?</p>
<p>Because your composite score is the average of the English, Math, Reading, and Science tests. Writing is not included.</p>
<p>do you get your writing score also as a score of 1-36?? how is it graded (like SAT is two ppl give you a 1-6 and then add those up) --do 3 people give you a 1-12 or something?? also, i don't know if anyone would know this, but when can we know our writing scores??? -when they're mailed i geuss?</p>
<p>The writing score is 1-12, not 1-36. You'll know it when you open the envelope.</p>
<p>sense a bit condescension there. i was just asking a question, no need for that.</p>
<p>you can view it online too. but it will be another $8. and theres always the chance that it might not be up yet. i wasted like $64 on the april test because i kept going back to the early scores to see if my writing was up yet.</p>
<p>you should have read the screen more carefully because it tells you whether or not your essay has been graded yet.</p>
<p>jenny,
Two people score the essay 1-6 and they add it. If the two people's scores differ by more than one point (e.g., 3 and 5), a third, more experienced person scores it.</p>
<p>You also get a combined English/Writing score based on your English score and Writing score.</p>
<p>Do colleges look at the Combined English/Writing score?</p>
