<p>I got a 10 but i think i wrote about 2 pages even (not really sure, can't remember), but i thought the prompt was straightforward. The essay doesn't count towards our overall score anyway though, right? And where can we see a copy of what we wrote? I think i read somewhere that colleges can request to see the essays.</p>
<p>Colleges can see the essays; you can't.</p>
<p>Can you use the essay score for a different test? like if I got a 11 on the essay during the April ACT can it carry over in June? or do I have to do it again?</p>
<p>Sadly, yes; when I say a 4, 5, or 6 scores on the essay, I do mean out of 12. That's in the 2%, 4%, and 19% percentiles respectively. It's mind boggling that people who scored 34's-36's for the English and for their composites could be scored so low on the Essay.</p>
<p>The overall composite score isn't affected by the essay score, but apparently many colleges, particularly the more prominent ones, still lend a lot of credence to the essay score, seeing as how they require the ACT writing to be taken for an ACT test score to be accepted.</p>
<p>so essay scores can be put in other tests?</p>
