1. Take 10 Minutes to Pre-Write
The ACT has added 10 minutes to the Writing Test. Given the complexity of this new assignment, the extended time suggests that the test writers believe you should be spending those 10 minutes for pre-writing. Most students face a ticking clock so they often begin writing their essays immediately. This results in repeating some words or phrases. Pre-writing is always good for your writing.
2. Create a System of Analysis
Analyzing is to break a thing into its parts. But how to actually do that?
Try asking the following four questions when you read each perspective:
- Who might hold this perspective?
- Why would they hold it?
- What if we all held this perspective?
- What is one weakness or strength of this perspective?
Sometimes, strategies for success on the new ACT essay is acknowledging the limits of your own experience can give your writing credibility. So by all means, write with authority when you analyze the given perspectives, but when it comes to your own position, it’s okay to not show that your statement true or false.
