Writing portion of the ACT length?

Hi everyone! I'm starting to study for the ACT and I'm wondering, how long is the writing portion of the test? Just trying to better plan my practice schedules.

Hi there! The writing portion of the ACT, also known as the ACT essay, is 40 minutes long. During this time, you'll be asked to respond to a given prompt by developing an argument and providing examples to support your viewpoint. As you practice, it's a good idea to allocate some time to read and understand the prompt, plan your essay, write, and review your work to ensure clarity and coherence. Good luck with your preparation!
