<p>For the writing section on the ACT, this was going to be the format I was gonna use:</p>
<p>Introduction
-state position
-thesis</p>
<p>Body paragraph
-1 or 2 examples </p>
<p>Body paragraph
-1 or 2 examples</p>
<p>Body paragraph
-1 or 2 examples</p>
<p>Con paragraph
-make two counterarguements</p>
<p>-closing</p>
<p>Do you have any tips or suggestions for this format? I really want to get a 10 on the essay! Thanks.</p>
<p>Six paragraphs in under thirty minutes is quite a daunting task. What I would do is put the arguments together in each paragraph. You already have the opening and conclusion, and roughly you probably only need 3 paragraphs (or 3 points) to prove your thesis. However, if you can get more thoroughly supported ideas, go for it.</p>
<p>Although, you seem to have a counter argument. Wouldn’t you just be contradicting what you have previously spoken and therefore just wasted part of your time?</p>
<p>No I mean saying why the other side is wrong in my counterarguements.</p>
<p>If you think you can manage that, the counter argument, then go for it.</p>
<p>I’m taking ACT for the first time tomorrow and I’m gonna probably stick with basic 5 paragraph format.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m taking it for the first time too tomorrow. So nervous! Good luck!</p>
