ACT, Inc, will be adding an optional essay to the ACT assessment beginning in 2005. They're currently in the midst of the grueling process of selecting essays, training raters, and setting standards for grading the essays. No word yet as to how many colleges will begin requiring the essay for admission. An essay section will also be introduced to the SAT in 2005.
