Three essays, one MCQ section, all built on the same rhetorical analysis vocabulary.

AP English Language and Composition is one of the most consistently graded AP exams: every essay is scored on a 6-point analytic rubric that breaks cleanly into thesis (1 pt), evidence and commentary (4 pts), and sophistication (1 pt). Students who learn the rubric explicitly tend to gain a full point on each essay within a few weeks.

We focus practice on the synthesis essay (where students integrate 6+ source documents into a single argument) because it has the largest gap between average student performance and a 5-level response, and because the synthesis structure transfers directly to college first-year writing.
