I know that there have been many complaints about the ACT essay grading; however, I have a twist to this problem. My composite score for the ACT is a 34, but my writing score is a tragic 16/36. Looking at the bell curve, however, makes me understand that this is concordant to the old SAT essay score of 7, which is what I received sophomore year.
Does anyone have any advice on how to improve essay writing skills for someone who somehow always ends up having “average” writing scores. Also, are there any good books that will help? As a rising senior, I am questioning my ability to get into the schools that I want.
Thanks a lot!
