<p>What is the difference between the two? Where can you use both? Do both count the same as an SAT?</p>
<p>The only difference is one has a 30 minute essay. Some colleges require it, some don't give a flip...</p>
<p>Thanks! I realized I was actually a little unclear in what I was asking though. I took the ACT plus writing today, now will my score count the same for college as without writing? Can both be used equally?</p>
<p>^ Essentially, yes. The only difference is that you got a writing score and people who didn't write the essay won't get a writing score. The colleges that don't use the writing honestly won't notice the difference.</p>
<p>thanks! The option just always confused me, its not like that on the SATs haha</p>
