Ds2 takes the ACT test next month.

There is a writing option.

Can anyone bring me up to speed on who uses this option ?

Coincidentally enough, I read an article here on Crosswalk on that very topic just a few hours ago.

here's the link: college tests article

The writer advises taking the ACT writing portion:

quote:

One advantage the ACT has over the SAT I is the option students have to control which colleges see which scores when. It costs a bit more, but the choice is available.

The ACT runs 3 to 3 ½ hours. It costs $30 without the optional writing section and $44.50 with it. It is highly recommended that students take the writing portion along with the main test. The exam is described as a test that measures achievement, and it is not content-based. Most educational experts consider it much more predictable and fair than the SAT I exam. The questions require students to solve problems, interpret charts and graphs, and use their critical reasoning skills. The ACT has four main parts: English, Math, Reading, and Science.
