<p>The English test is on Wednesday, and I'm kind of nervous. Our teacher has been less than helpful this year, and she has spent way too much time on too little work. All we've read this year in our AP English class was the Crucible, the Great Gatsby, and Fahrenheit 451. </p>

<p>All I want to know is: what is the relative difficulty of the AP English test? I heard it was about the same level as the reading portions of the SAT, and if it is, then I will be much less stressed. Our teacher has given us practice multiple choice questions, but they were VERY hard, and I'm aiming for a 4 or a 5 on the test. And are the essays reasonable? I have confidence in my writing abilities and a lot of non-literary background info (from history and personal experiences).</p>

<p>The reading passages on the AP English Lang/Comp test are significantly harder than those on the SAT.</p>

<p>Absolutely agree, our class started out the year completely failing the MCQs, slowly getting better, and now we’re about fine. Just a note, though, Kaplan’s practice MCQs are about a mile longer than the actual ones, and Barron’s are more difficult. They both really help prepare for the real ones.
The essays are reasonable if you know what you’re talking about, you’re clear, coherent, you answer the question, and you base your essay on your thesis.
For both MCQs and essays, really know the random stylistic devices (asyndeton vs epistrophe, for example) because if not, you’ll lose points for not much of a reason.</p>

<p>Pick the hardest questions from SAT Critical Reading and multiply that difficulty by 2. That’s your average Language question. =D</p>

5

<p>on the essays u want to write no less than three pages per prompt, and the multiple choice is extremely difficult</p>

<p>I got a 790 on SAT reading and a 24/30 on the practice test on Sparknotes. They’re pretty hard, but the curve is amazing.</p>

<p>I’m screwed for the essays, though. Very slow writer.</p>

7

<p>Eh, I’m really worried about this exam. I am not so good at reading comp on the SAT’s but I took a few practice MC’s and doing considerably well. I just think the essays are going to kill me.</p>

<p>Can someone please give me the answers to these two tests</p>
