harder, and pretty soon my scores on the ACT improved by seven points. I knew that this improvement in technical skills taught me a lesson; that if I can do that well on a standardized test, I could become creative in my writing skills. Gaining this proficiency would open the doors to producing creative writing. After finishing my third ACT, it was time for me to begin writing essays for college admissions.
