<p>Just wondering what kind of stuff I should review/check up on to ensure at least a 4 on this?</p>

<p>I’m taking it too, so this is just a guess. In the Princeton Review, they have a list of Rhetorical Devices, so go over those.</p>

<p>Make sure you know how to write a coherent essay. If its a rhetorical analysis, don’t just pick out the easy devices. They want to know that you are competent even if you don’t get the whole point of the author.</p>

<p>Know the importance of footnotes. They give footnote questions on the test. Be able to tell what the footnotes mean.</p>

<p>If you have narrowed your answers down (on multiple choice) to two answers, choose the most specific one.</p>

<p>In the synthesis essay, make sure that the essay sounds like a conversation. Cite the documents correctly. For example, don’t say “Document be says…” write “Johnson explains that ‘because of global warming, all the polar bears are dying’ (document b)”.</p>

<p>That’s all I can really think of. If you need more help, on Collegeboard they should have a list of teacher links. Those are really helpful. They come from the people who actually make the test. They’re designed to inform the teachers on what they should be teaching. It is also a big help to the student. My teacher gives us copies of them.
