I was looking at the sample essays in the ACT pre book and it seems different from the SAT essays. The ACT seems to stress opinions more than random facts like the SAT wants (e.g facts from history and literature). Please tell me what the ACT essays graders look for in an essay? I actually like the support-from-facts style of the SAT writing more than personal opinions on the ACT. Please respond. Thanks.
