ACT essay tips?

I’ve taken a bunch of mock tests and I’ve done well on everything except the essays. I was wondering if yall had any tips for me.

I don’t know if this applies for the ACT, but for the SAT the single best tip my daughter received was that you can support your thesis with made-up evidence and quotes. You can literally just say “According to Doctor Hammad at MIT, research has shown that…”

I don’t know how you evaluated your score because that is pretty complicated, but why not follow the infamous 12-essay guide? I followed it and got 10. Here it is (just remove the space after confidential): http://talk.collegeconfidential. com/act-preparation/1137654-act-essay-guide-how-to-get-a-12-p1.html

I take mocks at some place and they grade it for me. Thank you
