Writing Subtest Study Guide - Summary: Sample Questions

For a Sample summary, print the Reading Comprehension sample "The Greenhouse Effect" on this web page and compare it to the summaries below. Note that a strong summary includes the author’s theme, major points, and conclusions. A weak summary does not tell you anything concrete about the essay itself.
