@DavidPuddy I really wouldn’t sweat prepping (or not) for the writing part. TBH, I thought it was structured really weirdly. Even learning to write to the prompt (there are various tutorials on line from the major test prep companies) still makes for an artificial and somewhat stilted result. It was not a measure of “good” writing, IMO.

For me, the SAT essay writing section is a much better reflection of the kind of writing an entering college student might be asked to do - an analytical response to a real text as opposed to building an argument by taking examples out of thin air.

@reddy20 He’s done, great result! Sigh of relief and he can cross the ACT off his checklist.
