<p>When colleges look at your writing score, do they see it as part of the composite or is it totally separate and just with the writing/english section? Basically, I did well on my composite (35) before the writing scores were available and then I only got an 8 on my essay, so my english/writing score is a 32. Is that going to be averaged into the composite or is it a separate score?</p>
<p>It's a separate score. On applications, they ask for your composite and then your writing score.</p>
<p>okay gracias</p>
<p>wait by writing do you mean the 1-12 essay score or the 1-36 english/writing score</p>
<p>The 1-36 english/writing score. I don't think colleges care about your essay score</p>
<p>thank you so much</p>
<p>umm colleges do care about your essay score.. whats the point of taking it if colleges aren't going to see</p>
