<p>HEy.
So first try on my ACT:
Composite was a 25
Writing: 8
so...not awesome.
Second try:
Composite was a 26
Writing: 10.</p>
<p>Third Try:
Composite was a 30. Thank god, right?
Unfortunately, this was the statewide free test I took without writing.</p>
<p>MY question is:
Is it worth retaking with writing? Or can I send the 30 without writing, and the 26 with writing. Even if the college doesn't super score, will they still take into consideration that I got a 30 without writing as long as I send in the 26 with writing?</p>
<p>Also, is bringing it to like a 32 going to get me THATmuch more merit?
(I have a 3.8/93% UW GPA/4.7 weighted).</p>
<p>Honestly, I’ve taken it 2 times and until I need to send my apps in, will continue to retake it. Imagine if you studied for it a little bit this summer and went up another 1-3 points? Don’t send in the 26 with Writing.</p>
<p>most schools are going to require the writing. At least the ones we have looked at. And unless the school super scores the ACT, you need to retake with writing. What did you do to go from a 26 to a 30?</p>
<p>Alot of schools will allow you to send both scores (highest composite and score with writing). So like they will look at your 30 and your writing score from the 26. However they probably won’t superstore it.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks for your input!
vlines-I actually did nothing! I mean I had the ACT princeton review book…but i didnt use it much. I think for me, it was more about getting used to the test in an actual test setting.
Will it look bad to take it four times, though?</p>
<p>soontobesenior: No one will know how many times you have taken it as long as you didn’t send them to any/the same schools every time you registered. For example, the two times I took it I sent them to my backup schools just in case I scored low [Loyola/Depaul/Dominican/etc.] and switched it up the next time.</p>
