AP Lang Exam Review

For which two essays will you write a counter argument thesis statement?

Which essay is the Synthesis Essay where you are provided 6 sources to use source evidence from to write an argumentative essay?

How long is the designated reading time for the 6 sources on the Question 1 Synthesis Essay?

For Question 1 Synthesis, how many sources MUST you use source evidence from total to support your position?

How many minutes should you equally allocate to write each essay?

What is the quickest, most efficient way to cite each piece of source evidence in the Question 1 Synthesis essay?

For the Synthesis essay, You should use source evidence from at least 2 different sources in each main point paragraph in order to achieve “synthesis.”

Major pitfall of the Ques. 1 Synthesis essay: You should NOT merely summarize the sources in your essay because your argumentative voice and commentary should drive the essay.

It’s ok to NOT take a position on the argumentative writing prompt question for the Question 1 or Question 3 essays, especially if you’re unsure.

You CAN write in your Essay test booklet on the prompt pages and you SHOULD annotate Question 1 sources and the provided passage for Question 2. You can use any white space below the prompts to write a thesis or plan examples for support.
