Hey all,

I just started looking into the ACT essay and was dismayed to find that the prompts were things like making high school longer or enforcing uniforms for students. I’m much better at writing with objective History/Literature examples (SAT style) than personal experiences (which seems to fit prompts like these). Yet, I’ve heard that some CCer’s have been able to successfully incorporate hist/lit into their ACT essays. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
