act writing vs non writing--- help

<p>so in the spring of my junior year i took the act plus writing and scored a 30 with a 9 essay... this october, i took the act again and got a 33 but i did not do the writing section.... all of the schools that i am applying to require the act+writing.... will they discard my 33 because it was not an act+writing test? or will they just use my essay score from the first test and combine it with my higher score?</p>

<p>just ask the schools to which you are applying about their policy.</p>

<p>its only 30 mins, why didnt you just take it, i mean the 30 mins you spend checking colleges policies and posting on here is equal to that 30 mins -.-</p>
