Well...

For me, my score varies alot. I've gotten 10, 9, and 11.

From what I've heard though. Usually the more you write, the higher your score.

Slip a $20 in... Worked for me. JK

Well what i found about ACT essay is that it is hard to come up with things from literary and historical references. SO, your best bet is to BS a personal experience that fits the context. It shoud work. Thats what I am going to do

basically you pick a side of the proposed question and defend it with common sense and mention counterarguments and then counter those counterarguments (if that makes sense) and yes, write a lot because more will flow out of your mind the more you write. btw i got a 12
