The ACT essay topic was one that my daughter researched extensively for an English paper, so she had all of the facts and was totally confident. When the comments came back, the grader said that all of the facts limited the amount of “discussion,” so our impression is that where the SAT is looking for argument supported by facts, ACT may be looking more for an opinion paper.
