ACT writing score?

So I took the ACT in September and got a 35 composit (36 english 32 math 36 reading 35 science). I just got back the essay scores and I got a 24 on that portion. I was how much the essay matters, how to improve and if I can even use the 35 composite with a different essay if I were to retake it? Do they super score like the SAT? Thanks!

I just got Tom Clements “How to write a new killer ACT essay”. It covers the new essay not the old one. So helpful!! It will definitely raise your essay score if u take it again!
