ACT Writing Help

<p>Hey, I've got a few questions...</p>

<p>-What do the ACT people expect in the essay? Is it basically like defend, challange or qualify?
-Does the writing section even count for college or do colleges break it down?
-What's considered a good score on the ACT?
-Is the red real ACT prep book an accurate representation of the test or is the actual act harder?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance guys.</p>
