<p>I’m not sure how your class will work, but Im pretty sure the timed writing won’t affect ur grade until towards the end of the school year. In my class, even when the timed writing was graded, it was worth very little points. I really sucked at timed writing until a week before the AP exam. I found a list of essay topics and made an outline for each one. I (just barely) 5’d the exam. As for the MC part, if you prepped for the SAT CR, ur good.</p>
<p>rchhay- I know how you feel. My school offers both AP and IB, which means my school is half-assing them. Few APs are offered, and teachers barely know how to teach the IB curriculum.</p>
<p>Oh, we’ve been an IB school for some couple of decades, so we’re actually pretty strong IB-wise, but you only get credit for a couple of classes unless you take the AP tests. </p>
<p>Does anyone else think the numbers are getting screwier by the minute?</p>
<p>It’s all good. :') I messed up quite a few times myself. Oh, wow…
I’m wondering if I really need to know the exact differences between epigram, epigraph, epitaph and epithet for the P/SAT.</p>
<p>I doubt we do, but I decided to learn them on account of wanting to be a writer.
If you’re interested:
Epigram - a brief and usually witty/satirical saying
Epigraph - an apt quotation placed at the beginning of a book/essay
Epitatph - a commemorative inscription on a grave
Epithet - a term used to characterize the nature of something; sometimes a disparaging term used to describe a person.</p>
<p>Word Smart, it’s by the Princeton Review. I think you’re covering a good amount of the words in it with the Hit Parade, it’s just that they give examples of how to use the words and the whatnot in Word Smart.</p>
