Making Your Writing Flow

The ACT tests your ability to organize ideas for maximum impact. It's not just about grammar—it's about making your writing logical and persuasive.

Transitions and Logical Order

Use transition words to guide readers. Arrange sentences and paragraphs so that ideas build on each other logically.

• However, therefore, consequently
• First, next, finally

Relevance and Redundancy

Remove sentences or words that don't add useful information or repeat what's already been said.

Real-World Application

Strong organization makes essays, emails, and reports easier to read and more convincing.
