ACT Writing Test.........

Test Preparation
1

<p>I recently got a 35 on my ACT but did not take the writing test. If I test again with the writing test and say, get a 33, would colleges even glance at my 35 if I sent it as well?</p>

<p>Remember you would have to send your scores twice, costing you double. BTW, why are you posting the same question twice?</p>

<p>Because I do not work in college admissions I can’t give you a definitive answer, but I would imagine that colleges would consider both scores. However, as another poster said, you may have to pay extra to send the college both scores.</p>

6

<p>so they would see the 35?</p>

<p>I think they would. I would tend to believe they would view the higher score as an indicator of your ability and the lower score as a possible “bad day” or something. Even if the colleges do not officially combine essay scores from one seating with composite scores from another, I would expect that seeing the higher score would influence them in your favor, if only subconsciously. By the way, congratulations on your amazing score. I suck WAY too much in math to even hope for a score that high. :( I would even kill for your “low” (projected) 33!</p>

<p>Most colleges will NOT mix and match ACT scores. They take either one set or the other.</p>

<p>Call the schools you are applying to to find out for certain.</p>

<p>what about writing and composite</p>

11

<p>Writing does not affect composite!!!!!!!!! (sorry, but this the 5th I've answered this question today)</p>

12

<p>so will they consider separate writing and composite??</p>

13

<p>The writing is ANOTHER sub-score and doesn't affect your composite. You will receive two scores - one English and the other Combined English/Writing. Your composite stays the same.</p>

<p>I just don't think schools mix and match ACTs. I would definately send BOTH sets of scores - whatever they are. Call the schools and find out.</p>

14

<p>So the school won't even consider my 35 composite from this time just because doesn't include the writing test?</p>

15

<p>I'm not understanding why you are asking the same question over and over. </p>

<p>My advice to you LAST WEEK was to call the admissions offices of the schools you are interested in to find out how they will handle your ACT score.</p>

<p>Why do you think the people on this forum will know more?</p>

<p>Call the schools and put yourself out of your misery...maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised.</p>
