<p>yep, pretty much same here.</p>
<p>well, i did some practise MCs, then determined that w/e happens happens.</p>
<p>and the MC was much easier than i feared.</p>
<p>I also didn’t study, I felt prepared by just being in my class.</p>
<p>Used Crime & Punishment for third essay. All essays ~3-4 pages. I really didn’t think this test was that bad, but maybe I’m overconfident.</p>
<p>same here bananapop. my english teacher is amazing.</p>
<p>I love my english teacher. lol</p>
<p>What do you guys think about Life of Pi for the open essay?</p>
<p>I start from writing small to medium size on exams too!
I guess I just write fast. But in the end, I had about 15-20 minutes left to spare. I feel really confident about my open essay. IMO, I think it deserves an 8.</p>
<p>6 pages is A LOT.</p>
<p>I didn’t study either. I’ve never studied for English in my life. It’s the one thing that doesn’t really require studying… it requires practice though…</p>
<p>I know it is a lot…in retrospect I feel like I over wrote. I hope not mannn. I just really felt strongly about my book. Woo hoo for small to medium writers!</p>
<p>I said ocean in The Awakening represented freedom, innocence and rebirth.</p>
<p>“She did not look back now, but went on and on, thinking of the blue-grass meadow that she had traversed when a little child, believing that it had no beginning and no end.”</p>
<p>Water reminds her of her childhood, and the water is also a womb symbol. I think I got a 7 on it (even though it was only 3 pages).</p>
<p>Did anyone else find writing in pen ridiculously hard? I make A LOT of edits, and I rearrange sentences. I know graders say that won’t grade down for sloppiness, but I know that the natural, subconscious response toward sloppiness is negative.</p>
<p>i used the paint bucket at “Liberty Paints” in the INVISIBLE MAN</p>
<p>i used kite-fighting in the kite runner… pretty sure most of my class did haha, anyone else?</p>
<p>I want to cancel my AP Lit score…but if i cancel it, does that mean all of my other 6 scores will be canceled as well?? </p>
<p>I know i can always withhold it…but i dont want to pay that $10…canceling is free haha. Thanks</p>
<p>I think you can just cancel one exam, I’m not sure though.</p>
<p>Yeah I hope so too! </p>
<p>Anyone with past experience??</p>
<p>I ACED the test!! so excited!! Open essay: I used Equus and how the chain resembled the restriction of freedom. I compared it to 2 characters (Alan and Dysart) and a theme. I think I aced the prose essay as well. Did pretty well on the poem passage and pretty well on the MC. hoping for a 5!!</p>
<p>The first passage for the mc was about the girl working at the drive-in in the summer.</p>
<p>Also, I wrote about Metamorphosis and his transformation into a bug really being a symbol.</p>
<p>I wrote about Gatsby and money. I thought it was a pretty obvious one, I’m surprised I haven’t read about more people using that. I was worried everyone would, but I guess LOTF and The Awakening are more popular.
I didn’t really prepare for Gatsby at all. I reviewed Sons and Lovers, The Awakening, and The Mayor of Casterbridge a little and figured one of those would fit. I read Gatsby last year and everything came rushing back. fasho.</p>
<p>post if you used Gatsby.</p>
<p>I thought MC was pretty straightforward.
My essays were pretty good, as far as I’m aware. I loved both the selections. what a great example of Shakespeare’s expertise with the language. and the prose one was really unique and cool.</p>
<p>@ TheFrog91: Life of Pi seems like it would be fine. I’m assuming you used the tiger? I’m curious about what you said about it.</p>
<p>blah blah blah 48 hours before discussing the FRQs
& forever for the MC</p>
<p>cya guys in COLLEGEBOARD PRISON</p>
