<p>I'm going to be a junior, my school doesn't offer it, and English is my best subject. My mom won't let me take it online. My friend who's taking it at her school offered to lend me her books. I could probably get my English teacher from last year who retired to grade sample essays and help me out. Anything else I should do? I'm aiming for a 4 or 5.</p>
<p>I self-studied it this year and got a 5 (though, caveat: I was taking AP Lit at the time, which probably had an impact.) If you're a strong writer, you shouldn't have any problems. I posted twice in this</a> thread with some info about what the course covers, what to review, and a few links that may help. Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks a bundle!</p>
