<p>Do I need to take the writing ACT? I have taken the SAT twice and I am taking the physics and math sat subject tests in the fall. Math is my strong suit and reading and writing are not as strong, do I need to take the optional writing ACT?</p>
<p>Some colleges require the ACT + writing. Check with their website or call to see if they require it.</p>
<p>For example, if you google Princeton’s Common Data Set, scroll down to C8B and there is an “x” in the box that says “ACT with Writing Component required”. </p>
<p>Even if the colleges you are applying to do not require the ACT writing, I would still take it anyways because it allows admissions to see where your writing is at.</p>
