<p>i heard that it's just a 2 hour long essay exam. You read a passage and answer the prompt.</p>

What is the test? An essay and short critical reading?

An essay in response to an article they provide for you. (a REAL essay, not a 5-paragraph essay)
You must use examples from books, magazine, newspapers, and/or from your life to support your viewpoint. Last year, it was something on the grounds of "Does the internet (social networking, gaming, etc.) make you less social and shield you from the real world?" or something like that and the article takes on one viewpoint of it. You agree or disagree, and write your essay.</p>

I got an A in AP English both terms and I still got this email. Anyway I can get out of the test? I'm taking the AP English test in May too, but obviously the results wont be back in time.

Nope, if you have not satisfied the requirement yet, you MUST take it, even if you might pass the AP exam that you're going to take. (at least that was how it was last year)</p>
