<p>Some schools want the writing section, very few actually. We had the kids take the writing section just in case but most schools only look at the other parts of the test. I wouldn’t worry about it at all. If our kids retake the ACT, they won’t take the writing part again.</p>
<p>Our kids hit their target scores for admissions, if they retake it would be for more opportunities for higher merit awards. Most schools don’t superscore the ACT for admissions but a couple of the schools our D is looking at will superscore for merit scholarships.</p>
<p>As for sending the school test to colleges, that will depend on the college and how the test was administered at your school. Some colleges will accept an ACT score on a high school transcript, if so, her school score will work.</p>
