Act Writing Prompt

Lloyd Said:

Does the Writing Prompt for ACT count towards your composite ACT score?

We Answered:

Yepp it sure does so if your not a good writer then don't do it.

Corey Said:

Where can I find out the WRITING PROMPTS for the ACT from the past years?

We Answered:

The big red "Real ACT Prep Guide" book, published by ACT, Inc. (the makers of the actual exam), contains tests from previous years. In it, you should be able to find writing prompts from the past few years.

Additionally, the ACT website has a sample essay prompt for you to use for further study, available here: http://www.actstudent.org/writing/sample…

If you're looking for all the prompts from the past few years, then you'll likely have to do some digging around in online forums to find people who may have posted about the prompt a few days after taking the test. My guess is that you'll only find a few prompts here and there because it's illegal to post questions or prompts from a recent exam; also, I bet it's not worth your time to do this much searching.

If you're actually just looking to find as many writing prompts as possible to get further practice on your writing, I would recommend purchasing a book with tons of common ACT prompts or searching online for many examples. Choose a few, write a paper, and then a peer/tutor/teacher analyze your paper to help you improve your skills.

Judy Said:

How can I score better on the ACT writing??!?

We Answered:

You need to sort out your verb tenses for a start.

I have taken -not- I took
I scored-not-I score

Be more succinct yet still descriptive-your writing is rather rambling and dull.

Read good literature more, it improves your writing style.

Kristen Said:

Does the ACT Writing Prompt score go toward the composite ACT score?

We Answered:

No, only multiple choice make up the composite! But they give you another score called the English / Writing score where it averages english and writing.
