<p>How is the writing portion graded? Is is hard to get an 11 or 12? What does the combined English/Writing Score mean to colleges?</p>
<p>I believe it is the easiest part of the test. You just have to write at least two pages(2.5 for ACT). I raised my essay scores from a 7(ACT) and 8(SAT) to an 11 by just writing more.</p>
