Important Question regarding the Essay

<p>Does anyone know what value the essay has on the score of the ACT? How do colleges view the essay and how do they weight it? See I got a 33 composite but I got an 8 essay whereas the first time i took the test i got a 31 composite with an 11 essay, so what should I do here? Should i retake the exam this Saturday, or does the essay not hold much value to AdComs?</p>

<p>i would show the college both of your act scores. that way they can see your highest composite and your highest essay</p>
