<p>I'm taking ap language/comp next year. Any advice/tips you can give me to help me succeed in the class? Thank you.</p>

<p>Hmmm…find your favorite pen. A pen that feels good, writes well, and makes you look smart.</p>

<p>I recommend really getting good at writing essays. Try to write an essay in like 15, this will teach you how to think much quicker IMO. Also, look at some of the essay you have already written so you can what you can improve on. Finally, read some books(try to look for techniques, or devices an author uses to convey their message. This will come in handy when you write a style analysis essay)</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say writing essays in 15 minutes would be beneficial, but I’ve never tried it. Since the above poster talked about the style analysis essay, know your terminology and how they are used. Really all you need to know is what they are used for and how they are used to write that essay.</p>

<p>what is compostition
is it about compost</p>

<p>wow bassoonapus…
anyways, it really helps if you have a good teacher
-find all the AP practice multiple choice quizzes that you can an do them, also ask your teacher if he/she can purposely give you harder essay prompts so you will be super ready
-and honestly, you cant really study for this exam, you just have to do all the work you get in class throughout the year and you should be prepared…i just took the ap lang/comp and passed! so im happy about that…feel free to pm me with any questions</p>

<p>Totally agree with the harder-than-its-going-to-be approach. All year long my teacher prepped us with a review book (the name escapes me) and the MC was really hard. You’d be lucky to get 20 out of the 55 problems right. Eventually, about a month or two before the exam I started get about 30 right out of the 55 and I started understanding how the exam works. Low and behold, the exam is easy as pie. The passages weren’t all old 17th century and ancient philosophy stuff. They were current or 20th century passages. Hopefully your teacher gives you harder material.</p>

<p>This was the book:

<p>but she added other questions to it and made packets.</p>

<p>@Niquii77 My teacher used the same book! I got 22/55 on the first test but by the last test I got 31. The MC ended up being pretty easy on the actual test. Practicing timed writes once a week (or two) also helps.</p>

<p>Participate in class and do the homework (i.e. actually read the books not sparknotes). Try to absorb as much info/tips from teacher as possible.</p>

<p>Practice the MC exams, they have ‘tricks’ and it’s good to get a feel for them. They aren’t the worst (esp. this years). </p>

<p>Essays are meh, do whatever. Try to have some knowledge of historical facts, novels, and current social BS and incorporate them into writing. For the document based essay, good practice would be if you’ve taken/are taking APUSH (DBQs lol). </p>

<p>0/10 for creativity</p>
