Grade my Practice ACT

<p>It's about 5 years of High School I am only in 9th grade</p>

<p>5 Years of High School</p>

<p>5 years of High School, what do I think well High School has been pretty boring so far. I say most people will disagree with having High School for 5 years, but others would like it. High School is just preparing you for the real world. But it also means you have to wait another year to go to college.</p>

<p>If we have 5 years of High School we can get more credits, take classes you wanted to take before but never got the chance to take it since their was to many kids in the class, also we could get more electives and take higher classes that we didn't take before.. The bad thing about having 5 years of High School is our attendance will go down since we might not want to go some days because we have all of our credits and don't really need anymore for college, also we are 18 if we get into a fight on school campus we can get is serious trouble with the law and possibly go to jail.</p>

<p>I like the idea because we get to learn more, and can go to the college of my dreams. If I had a chance of taking High School again I would take it because I want to get more credits and take classes I wanted to take. I would be preparing for the future and getting my credits and learning things that nobody else probably knew. High School is teaching us how to buy things in a grocery store or whats in our body, what our world use to be like, and how we can communicate with others. It's like having our 7th hour but a whole year.</p>

<p>I have asked around and kids say they don't like the idea because they have to learn more, they would already know everything by then, and they just don't like coming to school. But they don't know what they can get with it, I tell them 5 years of High School can give you ore credits and a better chance of getting in to college. I think of what they were thinking, “Maybe its a good idea.” or “Nah still a terrible idea.”</p>

<p>High School would be better with 5 years I would like to have it so my dreams of ever getting my dream job will come true and I could have that perfect life I have imagined y whole entire life.</p>

<p>no</p>

<p>tenchar</p>

<p>They did that before -_-… It was called grade 8-12.</p>

<p>please score it 1-6</p>

<p>Fine it a 3.</p>

<p>Either a 2 or a 3. There are some major sentence structure problems. However, content-wise, it is pretty good.</p>

<p>I agree, 2 or 3. There are many glaring errors.</p>

<p>I really want to headdesk right now. What the hell was that?
dfree124 is right: NO
It gets a 1 or 2.
Also, why are you so fixated on credits?</p>

<p>Is this your practice for the ACT?</p>

<p>shouldn’t this be in the ACT preparation forum?</p>

<p>Why would you bump this up foodlover…</p>

<p>2 or 3.
You missed some points and you didn’t elaborate. Really, in an ACT essay, you need a couple things. First thing is a thesis…which you didn’t have. You contradict yourself by saying you think it’s a great idea but students dont think it’s a great idea. Um…aren’t you a student. This an argumentative essay. Take a side and don’t dilly-dally around your opinion. Your paragraphs have mixed ideas. When I say mixed ideas I mean you have points that are in your previous paragraph. A paragraph is a new idea, a new point so don’t mix points. It makes it seem like you have no organization. The only thing you should be tying into your paragraph that you have previously stated is you thesis…which you didn’t have in the first place. Your third paragraph about how students don’t like it should be disregarded. AKA scratched and thrown away. Most likely you’ll be better off just leaving it out…well your score wouldn’t go up its still probably be. 3…
I’m in AP English where I regularly get 8/9 scores. My AP English teacher stressed that in an argumentative essay take ONE side. It will make proving your points loads easier. If you take both sides with exception then you have do and explain those exceptions which just wastes your time.
I’ve worsen this ACT topic so I have written this essay. I got a 6…just saying.
Hope I helped!</p>

<p>I read it more in depth and I now say 1 or 2…your points make it sound like your in 6th. I know I’m being blunt, but being blunt gets the point across. I would suggest using large vocabulary to give the appearance of you being edumacated</p>

<p>Ok…back again…
You said in some paragraph that high school teaches you everything from what to buy at a grocery store to communicating to people. What you said isn’t very logical and doesn’t flow. From what I have been taught in high school, things to buy at a grocery store is not one of them. I would focus on life strategies and valuable traits that high school process such as communication, understanding, and independence. Those are more valuable traits. A lot more valuable than what to buy at a grocery store b</p>

<p>@Niquii77 first post: Supposedly you have to give the pros AND cons if you are trying to prove a point though.
2nd post: Like i said in my first post, unless you need more elaboration.
And third: You could have just edit.</p>

<p>@Desuff
I’m on my iPhone and I don’t know how to edit.
And about saying the pros and cons, yea it’s important to discuss the “other side” but you shouldn’t contradict yourself. If you’re stating the opposing side you should give a counter argument stating why its best to go with your way. It’s argumentative not pros and cons of this decision. I’ve written this topic essay before.</p>

<p>I’d give you a three. But you can definetly do better. I managed to get a perfect essay score on the Practice SAT in 7th or 8th grade, so you can surely do it by senior year.</p>
