How many times should I take ACT

Alright, so my question really has two layers.


This may sound dumb, but does it look bad to only take the ACT and only take it once? I scored a 34 and don’t want to risk retaking it. But, do colleges possibly want to see some consistency and have me take it multiple times?
Second, with my 34 I only scored an 8 on writing. I’m confident I could score higher on writing if I simply had written more. But, I’m a bit concerned I may only score say a 33 if I were to retake it. Is it worth it to retake an 8?


If you want, feel free to only respond to one part of the question. Thanks!
