GoldenMonkey SAT's AP CA IV Writing Help

<p>Guys I know out there are people who get consistent 8’s on their essays. I normally get 3’s and 4’s… :(. I was wanting to know how you structure your essay’s for all three essay prompts on the AP exam. I have a difficult time trying to blend in an example from the passage into the essay without saying “For example, the author uses”. My teacher takes points off for that. Not only that how exactly should I structure the introduction paragraph. I can sort of make my thesis but still it isn’t the strongest. I also have a lot of trouble trying to “grab the readers attention”. I mean on AP essay for any of the prompts what exactly should that thing be that leads into my thesis. Please I need help. I need a detailed outline.</p>
