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>First of all congrats on getting such a great score!!</p>
<p>If you turn in multiple exams like the SAT, most schools will evaluate the applicants best performance. They will consider each applicants best composite score, and - where available - their writing score. So take it again, do the writing.</p>
<p>so they will look at my 35??</p>
<p>bump...................</p>
<p>yes they will look at your 35 :) Taking it again cannot hurt you because they use your best scores. You need the writing part.</p>
<p>What will be considered depends on college. As to the ACT, majority of colleges look at your test with the highest composite and not any others but you have the "writing" issue for 2006 admittees:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Majority of colleges will still not require the writing section and thus the 35 will be considered.</p></li>
<li><p>Those I am aware of that will require the ACT writing section if you are relying on the ACT for admission have said that they will only consider ACT tests submitted with the writing section; thus your 35 will likely be ignored.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Your best bet it to check the admission requirements at each school which you are considering.</p>
<p>To echo the others, I've noticed that it varies from school to school. What schools are you considering?</p>
<p>why would they consider only ACT tests done with writing, because writing doesnt affect the composite score</p>
<p>majority of colleges now require writing</p>
