<p>Any pointers for the essay portion of the ACT?</p>
<p>make sure to prewrite and plan it out. Keep the essay very structured and on topic and you’ll be fine</p>
<p>Clue: Familerize yourself with the five paragraph essay. This is the essay that the graders look for, and if you at least follow its general structure, you will get no lower than an eight (there are exceptions). Also, write a lot. SAT graders have been know to award higher scores to longer essays - I don’t see why this wouldn’t also apply to the ACT.</p>
