Looking for examples of AP Lang synthesis essays.

I appreciate any help! Can anyone direct me to some examples of high-scoring AP Lang synthesis essays? I think seeing some examples would help me understand how to structure my own essays and analyze the sources better.

Certainly, you're on the right path seeking out high-scoring AP Lang synthesis essays as examples. This can be an excellent study strategy! However, due to the College Board's copyright regulations, it's important to note that the most appropriate place to find actual student responses from past exams is directly through the College Board's AP Student Samples database.

The College Board has published several high-scoring student samples on their website for different AP exams, including AP Lang. You'll find examples of essays that scored a 9 (the highest grade), complete with the essay prompts and scoring commentary explaining what makes them high-scoring.

Here's roughly what you would do to find them:

1. Visit the AP English Language and Composition page on the College Board's website.

2. Scroll down and look for a section called "Exam Resources".

3. From there, find the link that says "AP English Language and Composition Student Samples" to view sample essays that have scored well.

Please note that the essays are based on the old 1-9 point scoring system. Under the current system, essays are scored in the range of 1-6. However, the 9-point essays would likely be equivalent to a 6 in the new system.

Remember, the best way to study using these examples is to first try writing your own essay response to the provided prompts, and then compare your work to the high-scoring examples afterward!

Finally, while the College Board's resources are the most reliable, other test prep companies do provide practice tests and essay questions you might find helpful. Just be sure that these resources accurately reflect the current AP Lang synthesis essay format and standards. Good luck with your studies!
