<p>Yes berkeley looks at the writing score. However it is used in order to determine whether you need to take College writing R1A which is the introduction class to College writing here at berkeley. You will need to have all of your information in by Nov 30th deadline, so I dont recomend wasting your time re-taking any subject tests especially since, statistcally speaking improvement is minimal. </p>

<p>“Test scores. If you’re a freshman or sophomore applicant, you’ll have to include your scores from the ACT With Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test, plus two SAT Subject Tests in two different disciplines.(Be sure to complete these tests by December.) All applicants should report scores for any Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, TOEFL or IELTS exams they have taken”</p>
