Pay attention to the following
- Read the entire prompt before you begin writing. You must answer all parts of the prompt: make sure that you fully understand it before proceeding! - Organize and outline before writing. Always. - Don’t be afraid to agree or disagree. Just explain WHY you feel the way you do, and always support your opinions. - Do not write about things which the prompt does not mention. This will cause you to develop ideas that the prompt does not discuss, which will take away from your ability to develop the topic. - Avoid using the exact words from the prompt. Use synonyms. - Use linking words and phrases within paragraphs and to link paragraphs.
