I just received my writing score for the ACT and it was a 19? (out of 36) I know this is about a 7 on a 12 scale which is better than I thought but I know I’m a better writer than that! I have a 32 composite and a 36 in English, and now my combined English score is a 29. How much do colleges look at your writing score compared to the rest of your test? I’m worried they will look at my application and just toss it if they see that writing score.
A lot of people on here are posting about really low writing scores and that the ACT is probably making mistakes. If you think that you definitely scored higher, ask them to re-score your essay. Otherwise, if you think that was actually your score, I don’t think that colleges will think you are necessarily a bad writer if you have English AP scores to present.
