What do you guys think about the FRQ? From what I’ve gathered, intros and conclusions are useless on it. I’ve also heard that a new paragraph should be started for every new point, like the first essay here sort of does:

This would result in like a 7 paragraph essay…Should you really do that? Also, any other tips for this FRQ? Anything to look out for? Thanks!</p>
I just do a bullet for each point on the rubric and write sentences in eeach rubric. Some are longer than others. Just do definition, example relating to prompt, significance and that should pretty much cover any FRQ</p>
I wouldn’t think Psych FRQ’s are really “essays,” more like “paragraphed/long answer responses.”</p>
Do you have Barron’s book? They have excellent FRQ tips at the back.</p>
My teacher ( she grades for ETS) says the psych is nothing like the history. immediately your first sentence rephrase the question being ask and begin. Write the paragraph like a bulleted list but don’t bullet. writing skills do nothing. Just simply take bullet, define, relate back to topic. and do that down the list.
and when in doubt : write everything you know about the bullet and pray for the best. if there are 9 simple bullets feel free to make 9 2 sentence paragraphs. that’s fine but she stresses this everyday: NO BULLETS.</p>
THANK YOU!! that helped me alot</p>
Thanks for the tips guys! Unfortunately, I don’t have Barron’s. My teacher actually copied everything in that book for his students except the FRQ section I guess…</p>
For our practice essays (all 3 or so of them…), my teacher just told us to write and write. Like one long paragraph. Is that bad?</p>
