<p>4-5, I’d imagine. Remember, ACT grades essays… differently. I know it sounds silly, but try to just write more - there’s a respectable correlation between essay length and grade.</p>
<p>The one thing that really stuck out to me was your lack of viewpoints. ACT specifically mentions in its rubric that writers should examine various viewpoints.
