Test Preparation

<p>Hey guys, about to register for ACTs in a couple of minutes...just wondering though, which should i register for, Regular ACT Assessment or ACT Plus Writing..i haven't done much research on ACTs..but I didn't want to retake the new SATs (one time is enough for me -<em>-). reason = my new sat scores aren't so hot...i got 700 in writing -</em>-..so considering this score, should i try for ACT with writing? or just regular? either way, the 700's going to show up on my transcript...</p>

<p>please give an opinion! any response is welcome...thanks so much :).</p>

<p>It depends on where you want to apply. Most selective schools will require writing section, so I would just take it.</p>

<p>The list of schools that require writing are at <a href="http://actrs19.act.org/app3/writPrefRM/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://actrs19.act.org/app3/writPrefRM/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>There is a required English section of the ACT, so really it's if you want the essay or not.</p>
