Hi,
I took the new SAT in June and scored 1590 with 18/24 for the writing section. Should I take the ACT? I’m mainly considering it because my SAT essay score is a bit low. Although most colleges I’m applying to do not require the SAT essay score, people’s been saying that not submitting the essay score puts you at a disadvantage. Is it true?
Don’t bother with ACT.
Congratulations you are done with testing. Don’t worry about the essay score. No one’s going to pass over a 1590 SAT because the essay is low. Focus on your college essays going forward.
Good luck to you!
Agree. You’re solid with a 1590, and the colleges know the essays on SAT and ACT this year are simply meaningless. They’re more interested in your upcoming app essays. Congrats on your score accomplishment!
Forget about testing, you are done. Essay score is fine and no one cares anyway.
I agree with everyone else lol. Don’t worry about the essay score. It won’t hurt your chances. What matters is your 1590!
Okay, I probably won’t take the ACT. Thanks everyone!
My son got accepted to Duke with very low essay score. Don’t worry about it!
