The ACT writing test, also known as the ACT essay, asks you to develop a perspective on a given topic and support it with reasoning and examples. You'll be presented with a prompt that includes multiple viewpoints on an issue, and your task is to evaluate these perspectives, articulate your own stance, and effectively communicate your argument in a well-structured essay. The essay is scored based on criteria such as ideas and analysis, organization, language use, and writing conventions.
