@sallyarmy48 Hey there, not trying to argue with you, just trying to puzzle this out as your score is inconsistent with both your SAT writing score and your ACT overall. Something seems wrong here.
The ACT site says the following:
“When you take the writing test, you’ll receive a writing test score on a scale of 1-36 and four writing domain scores (Ideas and Analysis, Development and Support, Organization, and Language Use and Conventions), each scored on a scale of 2-12.”
“Two trained readers will score your essay on a scale of 1-6 IN EACH OF THE FOUR WRITING DOMAINS. Each domain score represents the SUM of the two readers’ scores.”
As I read this, it suggests that the maximum number of points is 48 (24 per reader, 6 points per domain, 4 domains). Then that raw score would be converted somehow into a 1-36 point scale.
So, if I’m reading your results right, the readers each gave you 2-3 points per domain for a total of 22 points out of a possible 48. That seems low. Did you look at the scoring rubric that I posted earlier? Perhaps it might give you some clues. If it seems inaccurate, you might want to contact the ACT people.
Finally, here is a thread that talked about successful strategies for the writing portion. Good luck!
