<p>This will be my first time taking the act writing. Is there anything I should know?</p>
<p>I was about to ask exactly the same question.</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>Just Remember, you have 4 pages to write on, so you don't have to worry about space. Plus you have 30 minutes to write it.</p>
<p>About how long should I make it?</p>
<p>I made mines 2.5 pages in april and that seemed like it worked (got a 12). What else should you know about ACT writing? You probably know that they count the english section (grammar) twice... Once as a section itself and once as a HUGE chunk of the writing section. About the essay, time didn't seem to be that big of an issue. I had enough time to be really redundant in the conclusion. I'm retaking it tommorrow morning. I completely bombed the english portion (24), making my writing section a dismal 27.</p>
