***December ACT Essay Thread****

<p>Really easy, but is 3.1 pages enough for a decent(11+) score for the essay?</p>

<p>was your topic about homework</p>

<p>yeah, i had a topic about hw. i made up some stories about friends who almost didn't graduate because they were so involved in extracurricular activites that they didnt do their hw and thus didnt learn the material, causing them to fail classes. haha.</p>

<p>Mine was horrible. I got a 10 last time...so I feel bad about it. I only had 4 paragraphs...but they were well developed. The last one a little weaker though due to the fact that I ran out of time.</p>

<p>3.7 pages
yay to hw, lol?
11 maybe</p>

<p>Haha I think I wrote about teachers misunderstanding the use of homework and constantly giving us busy work. It was so lame.</p>

<p>lol..i cant believe this was the actual essay question...for AP eng. language last week we had to write an argument paper, and, well u guessed it, my argument paper was on: "Homework should be abolished" after being inspired to write it after the cc thread on "homework should be abolished movement" haha...and i got the same question 2day on the ACT...i was like boo ya!!!!!!</p>

<p>i was so angry
i only finished 2 pages...and i still had a paragraph and a half to go</p>

<p>My hand started to cramp while writing the second page.</p>

<p>i wrote exactly 2 pages in september and got a 12; i average 10s on SAT essays so i'm not great or anything, so lenght really isn't that important.</p>

<p>i wrote about 3.3 pages. i felt pretty good about it overall.</p>

<p>i wrote around 2 pages..but i have small handwriting..lol</p>

<p>2.5 pages, hoping to get at least a 10</p>

<p>as long as what you wrote was clear, organized, and at least somewhat developed (aka, not just one sentence for each supporting point) then youre pretty much guaranteed a good score. while length is a factor, i still got a 11 last time with a little under 2.5 pages</p>

<p>they never give 11’s and up always fricking 10’s</p>

<p>I failed this lol</p>

<p>My brain was fried from the science section.</p>

<p>I hope I get a 12. I have gotten 12s on the last 2 SAT essays, but I am not sure how much different ACT essays are. I hope I am on track for a 10+.</p>

<p>ACT topics suck. SAT ones are a bit more open-ended, and it’s easy to develop examples. The last two ACTs I’ve taken have been… not that great topics to write about. D:</p>

<p>Ughhh. I got the ‘is television good’ question…Wrote 2 and a quarter pages, and I feel that it sucked this time around. Shoot. I was hoping for a eleven/twelve… =(</p>

<p>My son also got the television question. You guys were confusing me with the homework one because he was telling me everything he wrote and I was thinking maybe maybe he’d totally misread the prompt! :)</p>
