<p>^if you didn’t take the ACT w/ writing then you just need to make sure that the colleges you apply to don’t require the w/writing portion</p>
<p>unless you are talking about something else</p>
<p>Haha I had 3 solid reasons and talked about the unstated assumption behind the foundation of the school and how school rules obstruct the purpose. AP Comp really helped with this.</p>
<p>4 pages FTW.
So easy, but I prefer the SAT prompts. This one was too narrow. I like when you can use books or history as examples.</p>
<p>Lol, I have no idea how someone could have the passion to write 4 pages about a topic of this sort. If I had gone onto 4 pages, my essay would have degenerated into dribble. I did, like, 2.5 pages.</p>
<p>i don’t get how someone could possibly write 4 pgs in only 30min.
i had 1.5 pages before i ran out of time :/</p>
<p>Is the essay counted as a separate section for superscoring?
one of the colleges i’m interested in needs the writing section, but they also superscore.
so if i took the act’s one more time, would they be able to, for example, take the science and math scores from the first ACT, and the reading and writing w/ essay from the second test?</p>
<p>I don’t think the writing score really factors into anything at all…so don’t worry.</p>
<p>@LAXer25 100% agreed. I only got 1.5 pages, too, and that was after only using 3 minutes to brainstorm, and 3 minutes of proofreading.</p>
<p>But it says If submitting ACT, the writing section is required.
So I need the essay, right?
I might just be very confused. XD</p>
<p>i didn’t really time myself but i know i didn’t spend very long brainstorming and i didn’t proofread at all because i finished writing like 6 seconds before she called time</p>
<p>Edit: if the essay is required then you need to take the act w/writing-all4game</p>
<p>i compared administrator’s and teacher’s rules to federal and state law and then just used lame personal examples.</p>
<p>The writing section may be required, but the score itself does not affect anything, like your composite.</p>
<p>…if it doesn’t affect anything, then what’s the point?
I must be missing something.</p>
<p>^im not sure actually…</p>
<p>i guess its just to see whether or not you can write a decent essay within 30 min.</p>
