<p>In my school, my teacher just sits and makes us do pointless activities...I'm pretty sure we haven't written an essay all year. I don't know what's going to happen on the a.p., someone please enlighten me on the exam and advise me what to do?</p>
<p>As with most of the other AP exams, the AP English Language and Composition exam has two section: a multiple-choice and a free-response section. The multiple-choice section requires you to answer questions regarding passages, much like on the SAT’s critical reading section. The free-response section is made up of three essays: the synthesis, rhetoric, and general argument essays. In the synthesis essay, you have to incorporate quotes from a selection of six to nine documents while answering a prompt. In the rhetoric essay, you have to write about the rhetorical technique the writer used and how they help develop his/her argument. In the general argument essay, you incorporate examples to defend your position on an issue (i.e. supporting, refuting, or qualifying the issue).</p>
<p>Hope that helped. I’m taking the same test this year and so far I think I’ll barely manage a 3 or low 4.</p>
<p>This test is an easy 5…just practice the MC and essays…</p>
