The writing part of the ACT is said to be one of the more difficult tests on the ACT. However, by using the rubric and basically just using common sense, a person can do fairly well on the writing part.
For example, if a person just answers the question, but basically does not give any support, the highest score they are going to get is a one. Which, by most people's standards will not be a good score at all. To get a two, a person has to answer the question and give some support, but nearly not enough to fully answer the topic. For a three, a little more support is given and the question is still answered. To get a four and a five, they are quite similar and of course a five is better than a four, so the writing style would be much more intellectual and they would have good transitions in between paragraphs and would also have words that are not used everyday. For a six, the essay is extremely well written, has clear and different transitions, and just sounds smart, which I am definitely not sounding smart by the previous statement. However, if the person covers the topic and has clear and somewhat subtle transitions, they will do just fine on the writing part of the ACT.
Although many people stress out about the ACT, I think that it is not something that everyone should stress out too much about. I know that it is a big deal and will help me decide where I am going to college, but even still, when it is looked at, it is just a test. Therefore, people should not stress too much about it. So, I am just going to go and take the test and hope for the best. And hopefully because of the help we have gotten in our classes, I will do well on my ACT, and especially the writing part.
