<p>I am taking the AP Language and Composition Exam in May and I feel totally unprepared. I'm in the course, but my teacher is not the best. I am most nervous about writing good essays in the amount of time provided. Can anyone suggest good prep books or websites that would really help me prepare?</p>
<p>I have used both the CliffNotes and Barron’s books, and I like them both, but I like the CliffNotes one better. There are a lot of essay prompts on the College Board website, so I would definitely recommend using those. The best way to become prepared is practice. Take a lot of practice tests so you become familiar with reading passages and answering the type of questions the College Board asks. The same is true for the essays. I highly recommend outlining your essays before you write them. Although forty minutes is not much to write a single essay, it will become much easier with practice. </p>
