Hey everyone,
I’ve been a great student so far in high school. I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA cumulative (I’m a junior right now). I’ve take tons of APs and gotten 5’s on all but 1. I have lived in the United States my whole life so am obviously fluent in English. I get perfect scores on all my English essays in class (with a fairly hard teacher), but for whatever reason, I struggle immensely with AP Literature. I’ve done 6 practice AP essays graded by an AP grader and have never gotten more than a 4. We took a practice multiple choice test today and I got a 40%! I don’t know how to study for this AP test either.
Any recommendations about how to prepare for the AP test? Also any ideas as to why I’m doing so poorly?
Thanks so much!
I’m assuming you mean for the multiple choice. Don’t read the whole passage first. Read bits and bits and interpret the question SOLEY based on the line reference. Did you take the SAT yet? Don’t approach the LANG questions like the SAT ones- think more critically and use logical reason.
