AP Lang MC tips

<p>My teacher gave us the 91 diagnostic exam and I didnt do so well. 34/53. The passages were difficult compared to sat cr. I ran out of time during the test and couldnt answer the entire last passage. So do you guys have any tips. My teacher said 10 more would put it in 5 range so thats what im aiming for.</p>

<p>When i took AP Lang last year my teacher would occasionally do some multiple choice tests, and those things were HARD. They were only around 18 questions, and we even got 3 chances to get them right!</p>

<p>And i still got a C on the first one. And then an F on the next one. I felt like i was so screwed for the AP test.</p>

<p>During the actual test, the multiple choice isnt actually that hard. It’s a lot more straightforward than the practice books out there. So dont stress over the MC too much.</p>

<p>HOWEVER</p>

<p>We had 4 passages on ours, and each of them was roughly a page long (i think the first one was a little longer). You only have a limited time, and i ended up finishing with only 2 minutes to check over my answers (and i rushed through the last essay too). Pacing is definitely something you should practice. Just time yourself on how long it takes for you to read a passage. Then, just keep reading. Keep reading until you can improve that time, and eventually you should be good to go =D</p>

<p>P.S I was expecting a 4 on the exam, and quite possibly a 3 (my third essay was rushed), but i got a 5. The curve is rather generous, but it is still a pretty hard exam!</p>

<p>the curve is not that generous actually. My sat reading Is only 600 and if you really focus, you will find that mc to be somewhat easy on exam day. I got a 4. Besides, if you get crushed by the multiple choice, makes sure your essays are REALLY GOOD so u can redeem your score :p</p>

<p>sigh… i just took my first ap lang objective and got a 78, i ran out of time and had to guess for the last 11 questions. any tips other than pacing?</p>
