<p>I’m wrong, the 8 did lower it to a 31 in the combined section on the bottom. Overall on that test she had a 31, with or without the 8, so that’s what didn’t change.</p>
<p>I’m still confused: How is the combined score of the English and Writing calculated? Does the new score even matter? If colleges (and some she is applying to do superscore the ACT) superscore the tests, does she still get to keep her 34, and call it a 34/10? After all, if she took the test without writing, her English score would be 34.</p>
<p>Honestly, it seems so bogus. Her scores range from pretty good to very good. How is this really helpful to a college? It’s not. I guess all it is saying is “don’t worry, this kid will be fine.”</p>
