So, as of right now I have an 8 on my writing for ACT. But, I’m wondering how important it is to colleges. I’m not sure if I want to retake writing because I also don’t want to waste my time/money preparing for it. Is an 8 bad for colleges? Or, do they disregard the writing score? If you think it is important, can you also leave some tips? If not, how do you know they don’t care?
