Strunk and White baby, Strunk and White. Their elements of style will get you through the multiple guess portion.
For the essay, take the most progressive/left wing take on the topic you can (write for your audience of far left college professors )hilarious Use the generic 5 paragraph opening-supporting-supporting-supporting-conclusion format. Don't think about it to hard. Those 45 minutes fly. Jot down a thesis, 3 supporting details, and get-a-writ'in.

The biggest thing that helped me was to practice writing essays! It was a little harder than I expected to finish in 45 minutes.
