...The Fast Food Essay
One of the best things about fast food is not just that it’s quick, it’s consistent. Walk into a McDonald’s in Tosserdorf, Germany, and a Big Mac is still a robust, comforting Big Mac, just like at home. What makes fast food so consistent? Restaurants like McDonald’s use the same ingredients and preparation methods at every location.

After you finish taking the ACT, two “raters” will score your essay. These raters are trained and certified specifically for grading the ACT essay. Each rater is instructed to give every essay a score on a scale of 1–6. The two grades are then added together to make up your entire essay sub score, which will range from 2–12. If the two raters come to wildly different scores for an essay, like a 2 and a 5, a third rater will be brought in. The essay-graders are your customers, and you want to give them an essay that tastes just like what they’re expecting. How are you supposed to know what they’re expecting? You can learn exactly what ACT essay-raters expect by looking at the actual ACT essay directions.
