New/Enhanced Essay Section on the ACT

The ACT, inc recently announced, albeit somewhat quietly, that the Essay section of the test will feature changes such as new prompts and extended time to 40, rather than the current 30 minutes. I found an article from PrepScholar (http://blog.prepscholar.com/the-new-enhanced-act-writing-test-2015-complete-guide) that was helpful. Other than this and the sample essays posted on the ACT Website (http://www.actstudent.org/writing/sample/), there weren’t too many resources I could find that addressed these changes. Does anyone know anything about the new writing test? How are you guys going to prepare for it?

SEPTEMBER 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD

Go to that discussion. I and several others posted plenty of info on the New Essay.
