<p>I took the December ACT but haven't received my writing scores back. On my Common App, I have my scores from my previous test, which is an 8. Deadlines are Jan. 1 for my schools. S I have already sent the ACT score reports to all my schools so they will receive the Writing score anyways but should I wait a couple days for my Writing scores in case they have improved so that I can write it on my Common App?</p>
<p>You don’t have to report your scores on the Common App. Colleges really only care about the official ones that are sent directly from the ACT/SAT organizations</p>
<p>^Was looking for the second part of your answer. Thanks. </p>
