<p>i got a 28 composite with a horrible english score of 26 =[
will my essay (if i do well) bring up the composite score or english score?
thanks.</p>
<p>The essay affects neither.</p>
<p>It creates a new English/Essay score put together…</p>
<p>No - from the ACT website - “Taking the Writing Test does not affect your subject area scores or your Composite score.”</p>
<p>You will get a separate writing subscore (from 2-12) and a combined English/writing score (from 1-36), but your composite score is what you see now. It will not change.</p>
