Essay Tactics
![Page 15: AP Test Overview:](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56814e57550346895dbbf017/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Good tactics• Underline key elements in the question, as a
reminder of what is needed• Take 1-5 minutes to brainstorm: notes/charts• Only use works you know• Be specific, concise, and use proper terms• It is ok to flood with accurate details• Back up your points with evidence from the
artwork• Always attempt every question to your fullest
ability• Never second guess yourself
![Page 16: AP Test Overview:](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56814e57550346895dbbf017/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bad tactics
• Missing key elements of the question• Not taking advantage of the time you have• Writing about pieces you know very little about,
or are unclear on the facts• Giving vague or incomplete answers (“by that
guy”)• Assuming the reader knows what you mean• Skipping a question
