Here's the 2023 Q3 prompt on our test last year. It asked us to pick a book in which a rebel character revolts against the existing state of something.

And here are a few book examples it gave us to relate to the prompt. Keep in mind that you can use any applicable book, not just the ones on their list.

Make sure you read the prompt carefully and answer it thoroughly. Underline key portions and jot down your ideas

When you're writing your essay, pull applicable quotes from your book. You should be able to analyze them in depth.

Also, when compiling your essay, have at least two sentences of analysis for each piece of evidence. Furthermore, your essay doesn't even need an intro or a conclusion.
