<p>Do these questions require me to format them like an essay (introduction, body, conclusion, etc.)? If the question has a.) b.) c.), can I just directly answer the question by labeling my answers appropriately? In my Barron's review book, they don't write essays, but I've seen places where they compare it to an "ACT/SAT" essay, and I just wanted some verification because my preferred way of doing it is without structured essays.</p>

<p>You don’t need a formal essay. If you did, I think they’d give you more than 25 minutes a question.</p>

Go to A, and answer the questions, and so on. The sample responses on College Board usually have a FRQ response in the entire first page and half of the second.</p>
