Hello! To improve your writing for the ACT, it's a great idea to review sample essays and learn from them. The easiest way to access ACT sample essays is by visiting the ACT official website. Under the test preparation section, you'll find sample prompts and student essays with score explanations. These should give you a good insight into the different score levels and the quality of writing expected for each.

In addition, there are a variety of test prep books available that offer both sample prompts and essays. Some popular ACT prep books include the official ACT Prep Guide, Barron's ACT, and Princeton Review's ACT. These books often have sample essays with detailed analyses and suggestions for improvement.

Lastly, don't forget to practice writing essays yourself! Attempt prompts from the resources mentioned above, and consider seeking feedback from your teachers or peers. This approach will help you not only learn from reviewing sample essays but also develop your writing skills through hands-on practice.

Good luck with your ACT preparation!
