<p>Okay, so I find that the MC part of the Eng. Lit AP exam to be the hardest part. The writing portion isn't way too bad, but the MC is giving me the most difficultly. </p>
<p>I always end up choosing the wrong choice on practice exams, because I'm not always sure what the passage is stating. I really want to do well on this test. Does anybody have any good tips that might help my stress for tomorrow? Anything is appreciated.</p>
<p>IMO it is like SAT reading, you can either can do it or you can’t.</p>
<p>Well I personally do better when I have somewhat of an idea for a question before reading the answer choices. I’m sure this is true for most people lol</p>

<p>This statement is simply false.</p>
<p>It’s not that hard to train for critical reading, SAT or Eng. Lit, what you do is disect passages and do lots of practice. Verify your answers from the back of your practice book as you move along so you can discover what the THINKING PROCESS IS for different types of literature (prose or poetry?) and what not.</p>
<p>Practice means you realize HOW to react to literature, which allows for you to succeed either on the SAT or on the AP exam.</p>
<p>RedCatharsis- Your advice helps out a lot. I’m going to look over what I did wrong again using your tactic.</p>
<p>haha i dont know i suck at the lit mc but i got an 800 on SAT CR…and i never had a tutor or anything like that</p>
<p>i think that the type of questioning is similar, but that SAT passages are usually a lot simpler and straightforward/easier to understand within the short time limit.</p>
<p>i sometimes find it hard to understand/get the main idea of the lit passages by just reading them very quickly/skimming them, unlike on the SAT where you could just skim the passages to get an overall idea of what they are talking about. so either I end up looking at the questions without actually understanding what the passage is about, or I don’t have enough time to concentrate on the questions once I do know what it is about</p>
