<p>I didn't realize they give you four pages unlike the SAT's two pages. I know on the SAT you usually score higher if you fill up both pages, but I didn't have enough to right about on the ACT to fill up four whole pages. How is it graded/what improves you score? (i.e. filling up all the pages)</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>The more you write, the better. Filling 3 pages should guarantee a double digit score if everything else is OK. Also, ACT expects you to address the opposite point of view and show why it is wrong.</p>
<p>Oops. Well I’m expecting a 6 then. :|</p>
<p>“[sic] I don’t have enough to right about” – maybe that’s a good thing…</p>
<p>I wanna add an additional question to this:</p>
<p>Is it easier to score higher on a SAT essay or a ACT essay? I haven’t taken an actual SAT essay but I got a 12 on my ACT. The ACT essay is a more straightforward prompt I suppose.</p>
<p>Yes the ACT is a more straightforward prompt but I found the SAT is way easier to provide examples/supports thats not from ones own. You can use alot of historical stuff to backup your arguement whereas the ACT is straightforward and makes it very hard to use outside examples. </p>
<p>The consensus on CC seems to point that longer length equals a higher score. Address the opposition( ex: Why supporters of this bill claim that it benefits the schools it actually is the opposite…). Good transitions from paragraph to paragraph and inside the paragraphs.</p>
