Official AP English Language Discussion Thread 2011-2012

<p>Hello all!</p>

<p>Discussion thread for all students planning to take the AP English Language & Composition course/exam for the 2011-2012 school year.</p>

<p>I am a senior and I am taking it in a formal course (as opposed to self-study).</p>

<p>Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>I passed this test in may (as a junior) and can tel you guys you will need to be able to write well under pressure!</p>

<p>Did you take English Lit as well? If so, how does it compare?</p>

<p>I am currently taking Lit [senior] and honestly, I think Lit is looking to be a lot harder than Lang. The writing portion is basically the same, you just need to have a much higher tolerance for long -boring- pieces of text. For Lang all you really need to know is a few rhetorical strategies, [The ones that helped me the most were parallelism, paradox’, and syntax]. If you have specific questions, throw me a pm!</p>

<p>Today was the 2012 test. Hope I did well!! Can’t wait until July to see all of my scores. I took AP Bio, Lang, and Calc AB…</p>
