Advice for AP Literature?

<p>Any advice?</p>

<p>Use the search function for “AP English Literature” and a ton of stuff will come up with solid advice. Answering a question like “Any advice?” is just too broad haha!</p>

<p>Thanks. Also, I got a 660 on SAT critical reading and 770 SAT writing (10 essay), and I took AP Language this year and did decently, although essays I didn’t do too well on all of them, and I used Sparknotes for basically every book, although I did actually read some parts. Do you think AP Lit will be too hard for me?</p>

<p>For AP English Literature, writing is important as is with reading.
The test demands you to be able to analyze and write on poetry and prose. Your critical reading score isn’t very high so you may have trouble with it. In addition, you need to able to draw back from all the old literature you read in the past to use on the free prose where you choose any novel or play to fit the topic. Sparknotes is generic, the readers can easily detect it and more people are likely to write about the same things you do.
Basically, you have to be a very close and fast reader for the both writing and multiple choice.</p>

<p>Generally speaking if you can write around a 7 or 8 out of the top score 9, in English Language, you should do decent on English Lit. If your average is that of a 6, you should practice.</p>
