<p>I've received an 11 on my SAT essay before...Are there any style changes I should make on the ACT essay or just write as I normally do?</p>
<p>Yes, can someone please answer this? </p>
<p>What kind of writing prompts are there?
Should we use examples from history and literature, etc. in our reasoning?
How is the style compared to the SAT?</p>
<p>The ACT essay prompt always involves education. One distinct difference between the SAT and the ACT essay is that the ACT essay is 30 minutes long. Another difference is that the ACT requires you to acknowledge the argument that opposes your argument and someone make it beneficial to your essay.</p>
<p>*somehow (IPod autocorrection is soooooo annoying)</p>
<p>So refuting the counterargument on the ACT is a good idea? If that is the case, would the cheesy “While some may say (counterargument), such a statement is fails to recognize (my refutal)” be sufficient?</p>
<p>& Yes, autocorrect is a pain :(</p>
<p>Yes, refuting a counterargument is a good thing to have in your essay. And yes, something like your “cheesy” example will be sufficient. The best thing to do if your are paranoid about the English/writing combined score is to score high on the multiple choice. For my first ACT in September, I scored a 33 on the multiple choice with an 8 on the essay (weak sauce:/) but enabled me to still get a 30 combined score. Just to make sure you know, the essay does not compute into your composite score, which is element that colleges look at the most.</p>
<p>*which is the element (IPod is being such a pain in the rear right now)</p>
<p>Ohh, that’s extremely reassuring to know, thanks :)</p>
