Writing Test

The college admissions tests (ACT and SAT) have included a writing section for several years, but in the past the results from the writing test were not factored into college decisions. Colleges across the country were utilizing the data from the writing tests and comparing it to entry level college English scores to determine how much value they would place on the test. Today we learned that next year OSU will begin factoring the writing test scores into their admissions decisions. Obviously, at WKHS that is a huge announcement since OSU remains our number 1 college for student applications. But I would also like to point out that chances are many other schools will make similar declarations before next fall's application reviews begin. As always, that means you will need to do your best on all sections of the ACT and SAT. It also serves as an important reminder that you need to take the writing test (even though it is technically optional on the ACT). If you have any questions, stop in and see me at school.
