  1. AP TEST An overview

  2. MC • 2 pass system • Find the easy points • Read for big ideas only—not a rhetorical analysis • Look for consistency in your answers • Leave no blanks • Know your strengths

  3. Free Response • Have a plan to attack the essays: know what you are going to do • Keep your eye on the clock • No less than 2 pages bare minimum • If only 2 body paragraphs, write a conclusion • Plan before you write: use time efficiently • Read directions • Command and control • Simplicity and precision—no fluff

  4. RA • You are connecting the WHAT and the HOW • POV—complete and thorough: not just a subject. Subject and opinion • POT—suggested by POV, break into 2-4 sections, not exact • Detail choice—choose to support point, progressive, technique last • Intro: RS, POV, POT • Body: TS—locate within POT and point of section • Q—connect section to argument as whole • Description: context, technique, quotation (integrate smoothly) • Analysis: effect created by rhetorical choice and connection to purpose of section • Strong precise verb choices (no states) • Internal transitions

  5. SYN • SYNTHESIS—to create a complex whole from simple components • Most time consuming • Complex POV—qualify • POV should suggest POT: 2-3 sections • Concrete is better than abstract • Striking intro • Voice • Docs support point, not create point • Docs in conversation • Use docs dynamically, not just for support: counter, elaborate • Integrate quotations into your sentence • Mix of primary and secondary • Use the proper number • Be sure to PDOC • BE AWARE OF YOUR RHETORIC: diction/tone, syntax, ethos, pathos

  6. GA • Same as SYN minus docs • Still use docs, just ones from your head • Do not rely on personal experience. Use only to highlight/give life to/illustrate concretely logical points • 9’s have strong details with developed explanations

  7. Periodic sentence: sentence that is not grammatically or semantically complete until the end. Loose sentence/cumulative sentence: sentence that has an independent clause in the beginning that is then elaborated on with further clauses Ibid: used in footnotes to indicate that the information comes from the same source as the previous footnote Op cit: used footnotes to indicate that the information comes from a source that was previously cited. Usually accompanied by an author’s last name. Gerund: verb in the –ing form that functions as a noun. Swimming is a beautiful sport. Antecedent/Referent: the noun a pronoun replaces Exposition: rhetorical mode where information is presented, informing an audience or explaining something to an audience. Ex Wikipedia article Participial Phrase: a phrase containing a verb in its participial form (ing or ed ending) that modifies the subject of a sentence. Phrase: a group of words Clause: a group of words containing a subject and a verb. Deduction: reasoning that makes assumptions about specifics based upon general ideas. Induction: reasoning that makes a generalization based upon a series of examples
