My D got a 9 with a 32 composite. But it is very stressful waiting for the essay results. She did the essay on-line just to see how she would do and got an 8. So we googled “how to ace the ACT essay” and got some hints on counterarguments, which obviously helped, at least for one scorer.
I think it is tugh to write a cohesive essay at the end of an almost 3 hour test. That is my only complaint about the ACT. Otherwise I think it is great. This is my second daughter who will take the ACT only, and no SAT’s.
