<p>@tomjonesistheman: Just look at previous AP Language questions and answers, and the scores they received. You should try to understand why the higher scoring one are of a better quality. Then you will be able to write higher quality essays as well.</p>

<p>You can also look at them to get an idea of the length. Generally speaking, you are constrained for time; 2 hours for 3 essays at about 40 minutes each means that, even if you try, you can’t write essays much longer than a certain length unless you devote significantly more time to one of them or you drop its quality in favor of generating more output. In other words, there is kind of a natural “limit” on how much you are going to write; don’t worry about it. I got a 4 on the exam and as I recall on my 40 minutes practice timed writings in the class, I almost never got to the conclusion.</p>
