Advice from the CollegeBoard • Silently read, mark, and annotate the “Study Skills: Writing” article from the CollegeBoard • Please have at least one mark and annotation per section • After reading, process the article.

This essay scored a 9 • Literature is the Question Minus the Answer • There are two essays.
