<p>I know that there are three types of essays for ap english which are rhetorical analysis, </p>

<p>argumentative, and synthesis. Are there specific things that readers look for in these essays? </p>

<p>For example, for the SAT essay, readers typically look for the standard essay with at least </p>

<p>three evidence and a good thesis. Furthermore, if a student finishes all two pages, it's </p>

<p>another plus for the grader. Are there any "pluses" that the AP english readers look for?</p>

<p>For the multiple choice tests, how do you improve on these? I find it extremely hard to </p>

<p>understand the passages because of the way the majority of the sentences are structured.</p>

<p>The essays are pretty different.
The argumentative one is similar to the SAT essay.
The rhetorical analysis essay uses devices in the text and explains their importance.
The synthesis essay: use 4 out of the 6 sources in the essay, and each one is used as support for a topic. They should be brought up briefly and should only be used for support of statements.</p>

<p>^I thought it was three sources for the synthesis.</p>

<p>I believe it is only three sources for the synthesis essay-you can use more, but you don’t get any extra “points” for it.</p>

<p>This is somewhat irrelevant, but is there a discussion thread for this subject?</p>
