My school doesnt offer a class for AP lang and comp but we have the option to take the exam … i’ve been looking at some of the practice tests and they don’t seem too difficult to me
I think the time restriction for the essays seems the most difficult to me -any one have any advice for time management on these essays?
@joannne23 use the reading period to annotate the sources for synthesis or annotate the rhetorical analysis prompt. Then do whichever you find easier. The argument will probably require less planning. For rhetorical analysis, you should spend more time reading and annotating than writing because once you fully understand the purpose and such it should be easy to write an essay quickly.
Is the reading time included in the 2 hours?
@obghj2009 All versions of the exam, including makeup/alternate tests, are designed to be equivalent in difficulty. The makeup Lang/Comp exam is not going to be objectively more difficult, but because the questions are different, you personally may find one version more challenging than another.
@glassflowers Nope! The real time is 2 hrs 15 minutes, including reading for the FRQs.
I’m low-key hoping we get a satirical essay tomorrow. I don’t know why but I love analyzing satire.
@Greninja Hell nah! Sometimes the satire is really slick and it’s hard to find the real meaning.
@joannne23 Use 3 sources! They require 3 at least. I use one per body paragraph
any predictions on what the argument essay may be this year? (nature,letter,political, etc…?)
Just finished taking the exam. For the essay, nothing surprising with the prompts or the sources (unlike some of the previous exams that gave incomprehensible essays to analyze.) The multiple section was easy; the difficulty was similar to the reading section of SAT.
@lulu0207 Was question 3 an open ended prompt similar to the one on the SAT or was it passage analysis like Question 2?
Wait, yo you just took the test? I have it in a few hours. Could you like please tell me some info about the frq’s??
Thanks in advance.
@lulu0207 yoooo hook us up!! jk haha I’m assuming it wasn’t THAT difficult overall?
Finished lang a while ago, but I had macro right after…sigh, what’s done is done!
I have lang in 6ish hours. Hopefully, I can stay focused during the excerpts and actually understand the excerpts, or else I’m screwed. I usually get 7s and 8s on the essays, which I’m hoping would suffice for a 5.
Good luck to all of you! Hopefully, we all get 5s.
@BunnyMonster Oh, that’s great, thanks!!
Good luck everyone Im praying that the essay prompts are easy!!!
@pqaixx hook it up fam
Test was rediculously easy imo.
So glad that the writings were contemporary and actually understandable omg
