<p>Well, I just came back after taking ACT on a beautiful, winter setting… 
I wrote the essay decently - I guess it deserves grade of 4 or 5; however, it was only one page and a few lines on the second long. Will it affect my score very negatively?
My essay consists 5 short paragraphs, and i put every required info into it (catchy thesis, my opinion, and arguments with a counterargument). I just can’t write faster.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, writing scores for the ACT do tend to have a strong correlation with the length of the essay. However, if you had 5 paragraphs and presented arguments and counterarguments like you said, you should be able to get a 4 or 5.</p>
