<p>^^ I second that, I probably only spent 1-2 minutes planning my essay. Really just enough time to create a thesis and the topics of each of your paragraphs. The prompt is always asking you to choose a side on some school related issue, so it shouldn’t require too much analysis like an English paper would. By cutting down the prewrite, you’re left with 5-7 minutes per paragraph, plenty of time to get your ideas down.</p>
<p>If anyone wants a different persons input, I wrote 4 paragraphs (2 bodies) </p>
<p>I wrote about about students teaching students, and one paragraph stated that teachers don’t understand students, I used some book to aid me, I don’t remember which, I also made up a quote </p>
<p>The other paragraph was how students are more comfortable with students, and I made up a personal experience</p>
<p>This awarded me with a 10</p>
<p>Ok that makes sense, I’ll be sure to add a paragraph abt the opposing view point when I take it in feb and trying to write a little quicker 
thank you all so much!</p>
<p>I also got an 18 16 and got a 34 in english</p>
<p>Is anyone still waiting for their scores? I’m still registered and am feeling a wave of anxiety yo</p>
<p>Still no scores here, but we have to wait for the mail.</p>
<p>No score here in Illinois, still registered. I’m hoping they’ll be up tomorrow at 7:00 AM.</p>
<p>I do believe the ACT uses monkey’s to come up with the writing scores.</p>
<p>scsiguru //u got ur composite score at least…</p>
<p>So if the score doesn’t come in exactly at 8 (like it didn’t when I checked just now) does that mean that it won’t come up today or should I wait till the afternoon?</p>
<p>I just got my scores and I tested internationally in London. I got a 35 which I’m more than happy with (36E, 34M, 33R, 36S).</p>
<p>Nothing today in Connecticut. Anyone else still waiting?</p>
<p>From California, absolutely nothing…</p>
<p>I called the ACT folks today and the woman told me that the grading was completely random and that they were “mid-way through”. Very frustrating. Hoping Friday will bring the scores for the rest of us.</p>
<p>Nothing here too… Tested in Tanzania.</p>
<p>Finally got my scores, this was my first test so I’m pretty psyched.
