<p>Emphasis on “OR” – meaning, if you took both or either of the two AP English tests offered (there is an AP English Literature and there is an AP English Language) you have adequate writing prep.</p>
<p>I don’t know what you can do to prepare. If you’re a good writer, you’re a good writer – I think writing is one of those skills that’s inherent and can’t be “taught.” But, to do well in the class, you just need to take your teacher’s advice on your papers to heart, work with them as much as possible, write a ton of drafts and make use of the Writing Center if you’re a weak writer. The grading in WRIT 140 is individualized; you are charted on your “improvement” as a writer and ability to rewrite.</p>
<p>If you’re honestly a terrible writer, maybe have a teacher or peer whom you trust (and who have a knack for the written word) look over a few of your essays and help you rewrite them for practice?</p>
<p>I dunno. I am probably the worst person to ask; I came out of WRIT 140 with an A and it wasn’t too difficult for me.</p>
