I just bought the Barron’s book for APHUG today and plan on taking the exam in May. Does anyone with experience in the course have any advice on how I should tackle the FRQ? How should I format my FRQ responses (Should I strive for a five-paragraph format?)? </p>
I found that some answers to FRQs in Barrons seem extremely confusing-some of them even do not concentrate on the questions? Should I believe the answers and learn from them for methods to writing essays?</p>
The essay section in the Princeton Review book is most helpful. The book has not been updated from last year, so a 2010 copy is fine. Aslo use the practice test essays and the rubrics to score your results just like a real exam–you start off with 0 points and work your way up. These show what a low-average essay looks like and how it scored. Then show you an edited version of the same essay that get full points --this often takes justa couple key peices of vocabulary and concepts.</p>
