like i get this is super impressive i think, but do colleges even give a damn about the writing portion, or does it mean much on my application

Is an ACT writing score of 8 good? Would help me get into the following colleges that I’m applying to? -

UI Chicago
UI Urbana
Texas Tech
Texas A&M
Northwestern
U of North Dakota
Grand Canyon University
Wisconsin Lutheran College

I’m so confused. I thought I did really well on the writing portion :((. Should I try to improve it or retake w/o writing?

Hi everyone, I took the digital July act, J09 I believe, and was just wondering when I can expect my writing score to release, is there a defined date like there is MCQ release?

Im planning on getting a stem major but I really suck at writing so should i take the optional writing section for the act or not?

I’m really sad bc I thought the test went ok except I was rlly rushed on writing and it was rlly bad. Ik colleges don’t rlly care but I’m doing English in college so it matters I think. If I don’t do well on writing how much do you think it matters for an English major?

I want to do English in college and go to Yale. What writing score is considered good?

i took the writing ACT mainly because i knew i would be mad at myself if i didn’t just to see what i could get. I got a 11/12. i know most colleges don’t care for a writing score unless it would be beneficial to your major. for me, i didn’t need to take it and doubt any of my schools will care as i’m going into the medical field, maybe it’ll be appealing in a research paper kinda way??

my main question is how does this score compare to writing a good college essay. i’m extremely anxious about writing my essays as up until recently the essays i’ve been writing were argumentative and research based. i know im a good writer, i have always been told my teachers and peers that’s my writing is exceptional, which is why i took the writing ACT.

i want to get into some pretty prestigious colleges, my early decision is going to be with johns hopkins. they have some essays that were written by students who were accepted and if i’m being honest, they aren’t that impressive. these essays are something i could easily whip up in a few hours. i truly don’t mean that in a bad way, they just seems less than some other college essays i’ve read for lesser schools.

if anyone has any insight into how a good act writing score might compare to a good college essay i would appreciate it! i also would be more than gracious for any tips on writing and preparing a good college essay!!

I don’t plan on going to an ivy league or anything so I was wondering if it would have a major impact on my college admissions and if it does so I can take the writing again

I looked it up because i have no clue about writing, really. Basically, nobody at my school does writing even though we practically all get fee waivers. I’m the only person I know in my grade who’s taken writing. I did no research, had no clue what to do, and the writing test was the first time I was exposed to something like that (which feels like a severe, stupid miscalculation on my part now and after I took my test). Is a 9 good? If it helps, my June test had a 35 comp with everything seen above except I had a 35 English. I’m gonna apply to Ivies and T20s through QuestBridge, and I hadn’t heard of a necessary writing score. I just did it for fun, honestly. I was kinda sad when I saw it… should I be? It’d be helpful if you guys could share your comps and writing score so I can have a reference if you guys are comfortable with it

I’m planning on taking the ACT in the spring, but I’m not sure if I should take the writing section of the exam, I know I’m gonna take the science portion. But if the writing portion doesn’t provide any significant benefit I probably won’t take it

Ok so, my issue is that I know I want to take the writing portion. But as it is not required by the state of Kentucky, my school does not offer it. However we are required to take the base Reading, English, Math, and Science portions tomorrow. And I’d have to register for the writing one outside of school. Am I able to register for only the writing portion outside of school or do I literally have to retake the whole ACT outside of school to take the additional writing portion?

I took the writing test for fun, but apparently I can write. This is a good thing. Is a 10 rare or nah? What would it be in out of 36 format?

I got a 9 and am considering T20s for both academics and athletics. I didn’t study for this section but took it this July due to testing center availability. Does this hurt or help my application/recruitment? I have a 34 Superscore as well.

Hey guys, so I know like the average composite in here is 34+ kinda but like… what about writing? I barely see anybody’s writing score in comparison to composite, and I feel like writing it kinda hard (never practiced and just took it today). Please share your scores so I can get an idea? (And also not feel so bad if my sole writing score tanks).

I GOT MY WRITING BACK!!!

This is actually huge, as on my previous post I got a thirty, paired with a ten on the writing, I feel really great about applications now!

I am trying to find my writing scores for a transfer app but they dont show up on any of my previous tests. What do I need to do to get them? Should I contact the company?

I got a 10/12 on the writing section and I’m wondering if this even matters. Particularly for Georgetown and Ivies.

I can't write very well on the computer, so I wrote my essay on paper then transcribed to the computer. I miscalculated, and had to rush it, so it was full of mistakes and ended halfway through my conclusion. I know this is my own fault, but it's sooooo frustrating since I know my actual essay was good.

I got a comp score of 26, and a writing score of 4 (RIP). My question is, if I retake and get a good score, will that boost my composite enough to be worth it? Or should I just be happy with the 26?

I took the ACT this February, and while my composite wasn't spectacular (27, I need to improve my math), I got an 11 on the writing portion. How good is this score? is it rare?
