they’ll need to answer, but rather how their scores are reported and the kind of information they’ll be able
to gather from their results.
If you do take the Writing test, you will receive an additional score: your Writing subscore, which will
range from 2–12. This score is not factored into the composite, so taking the Writing test will not have a
direct impact on your composite score. Be sure to check ACT’s website to determine whether your target
schools want you to take the ACT Writing test.
