So I took the April 9th ACT plus Writing Test, and I just got my score report today. I got a 34C (33E, 32M, 36R, 33S), but a 23 on the Writing portion! I’m really not sure why - I took the December test and got a 33C but a 24 on the Writing, which led me to practice, and I really thought I wrote a much better essay this time. My college counselor actually recommended that I request the ACT to rescore my writing test, which I did, but I have not heard anything back. Should I request to have this writing test rescored as well? There’s a pretty huge difference in my other sections’ scores and this writing score, so I just don’t know if there was a mistake or something.
Thanks
Does the writing score really even matter?
The writing score does matter, but the ACT has been messing up dramatically with writing. people are getting 33, 34, or even 35 composite but they will get 20-23 writing. one girl even got a 35 composite but a 09 writing. If I were you I would definitely ask for a rescore from the ACT.
