Do they combine ACT Composite and ACT Writing from different sittings?

<p>Hello, I am a junior in high school who is sustaining a 3.5 GPA, and just recently took the ACT for the first time. I have always been decent at taking tests and scored a 31 first try. I would never take the ACT again, except for the fact that I didnt take the writing portion! Since this 31 I have taken a practice ACT (w/ writing) with The Princeton Review and scored a 29 composite and an 8 on the writing. Im worried that if I do take the ACT again I won't score the 31 that I got this time. If I take it again, get a 28, and an 8 on the writing will they still take my 31 and, overall, accept me?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help! I found out that U of M doesn't combine the writing and composite for different tests but I couldn't find the same information for MSU! Thank you!</p>

<p>If you submit multiple test scores to MSU, you must have at least one with the writing component. If you send additional test scores that have a higher composite score, they will review your file with the highest composite score. As long as you have one writing portion on file, you don’t need to take it again.</p>
