<p>Are the practice tests in the book harder or easier than the actual test, or are they an accurate representation of the difficulty of the exam?</p>

<p>Just wondering about MC, not the essays btw</p>

<p>How are you doing on the practice tests? I’m not faring so well… The level of ambiguity and uncertainty seems a lot higher than on the practice 2008 AP Lang MC. I’m hoping it’s just that CliffsAP is harder, but…</p>

<p>Do not trust resource book practice tests as an indication on how well you will do. I learned that with Bio/USH this week. Take them to see how well you do, but use them more as timing practices, as well as an indication on your term knowledge. If you don’t know a word, look it up.</p>

<p>Cliffs practice tests (and really, any non-official ones) can have a few questions that are really ambiguous. This goes for Lang and other “liberal arts” tests like AP US, World, and even maybe Environmental Science or Biology. Usually only a couple, but even if extensively researched sometimes these questions really might have more than one equally valid answers. Just ignore those.</p>

<p>Posters from previous years have said that the difficulty is near-identical with the AP exam. </p>
