<p>okay, so I found out a few weeks ago that my English teacher signed me up for the AP Language exam, and I don't really know much about the exam. Does anyone have any tips for last minute studying or for the actual test taking? I think I'm screwed, but I really want to pass this exam.</p>
<p>for the multiple choice:</p>
<p>~read the passage carefully
~answer all the questions on a page before bubbling in (until you are short on time)
~try to think of the answer to the question before you read the answer choices
~the easy questions are worth just as much as the hard ones
~there are only 54 (I think) multiple choice questions...meaning the guessing penalty can really get you.</p>
<p>Don't worry too much about it. The MC is mainly your ability to think...it is kind of hard to improve on, especially this close to the test.</p>
<p>As for the essays there are: rhetorical analysis, qualifying or refuting and argument, and a document based question (6 documents). Sadly, I can't help you with those as I outlined in my post in the "AP Language Test" topic.</p>
<p>according to wikipedia:</p>
<p>Score....Percent of testers who get it
5...........5.4%
4...........15.9%
3...........29.6%
2...........36.7%
1...........12.4%</p>
<p>and the average score is a 2.65</p>
<p>ok, thanks so much. I hope it helps. although that grade distribution does not seem very generous.</p>
