How to Use this E-book

4. Look at the subtopics and the points associated with each. Try to create a variety of 
questions about these specific areas, then create a plan to answer them. Think of other 
subtopics that might come up. 
5. Look over the examples and study their structures and general functionality. Connect 
these to the questions to which they may be applicable. 
Add your own examples, from your own experiences and knowledge (your own personal 
examples will likely be easier to recall on test day). 
6. Practice writing full, timed essays every other day. 
7. Look over the sample essays. These include high-end vocabulary, varied sentence 
structures, transitions and linking devices, and other important elements necessary for 
high scores on exam writing sections.
Remember: To pass the test, you must work hard. There are no shortcuts.
