<p>in our high school and college, a 5 is needed for any credit or placement outta ap lit. How can one get a five, and what resources should be used? My teacher has only had a HANDFUL of fives in her entire career.</p>
<p>get a study book! I've found those to be very helpful in my AP classes. Also, if you aren't reading novels and poems in class, maybe you should on your own because that is important</p>
<p>Norton Anthology of English Literature-for reading!</p>
<p>which study book??!!</p>
<p>hmm.. well I personally like Kaplan, but I've heard good things about Princeton review and Barrons as well. Just go to B&N and look through the books</p>
<p>Take a look at the various prep books and find one you like. Or you might want to get several books so you can get a really thorough review.</p>

<p>-Kaplan is HORRIBLE compared to other companies...</p>
<p>Which Book?</p>
<p>who has ever gotten a 5 on the ap eng lit exam? That seems really rare... what were the books and methods used?</p>
<p>??? bump</p>
<p>Um, I got a five. I didn’t do any test-prep, though - just took the class. A lifetime of voracious reading and writing is a definite advantage. This is true of most of the people I know who got fives.</p>
<p>My teacher swears by the Princeton Review book.</p>
<p>I haven’t dug into it too much, but our AP Lit teacher gave us REA AP Lit. books for this year; he says those are the best he’s used. (He is an AMAZING teacher, and is one of the AP Lit and Lang exam graders, so I’m taking his word for it.) Also, look at old exams (especially the open question) and try to read authors and novels that have been on there in the past as much as you can.</p>
<p>so far ive heard cliff, rea and pr.</p>
