<p>I'm sure most of you have gotten your AP scores. Congratulations I'm sure you've all worked very hard for your scores!! Was your score just like you had expected? </p>
<p>Any AP lang self-studiers here? How did you guys do? I'm considering self-study that exam but really don't have a clue on how to approach it. about 50% got a 1&2 so I guess it's not that easy. What are things one should do to study for AP Lang?</p>
<p>Self studying AP Lang is possible, but make sure you have a teacher to look over your work/essays/to clarify any concepts. I didnt think the AP Test was all that bad (got a 5 junior year) so it should be manageable.</p>
<p>Focus a lot of time in writing the 3 different types of essays, as its essential to be able to format accordingly between the prompts.</p>
<p>I have a friend whose school did not offer this course. She self-studied and got a 5.</p>
<p>Self studying for an exam is definitely doable. There are a lot of resources out there today. Besides the traditional PR and Barron’s prep, there are a lot of pretty great websites that offer quality practice questions. You can use online courses such as Apex or sites with a bunch of practice questions like Leanerator. Either way, I know a lot of people who have studied on their own and did well. It’s all about how you manage your own studying schedule and how much practice you get.</p>
<p>I think the APELC is definitely “self-studiable” if you have an adult, perhaps teacher or friend, that can critique your essays or help you improve your writing. The essays are a major part of the AP exam.</p>
<p>If you’re looking to self-study, doing practice questions and reading example essay prompts and responses will be key to get a feel for the exam. Old released exams are the best place to get practice with the prompts and responses, and they will have MC questions too.</p>
<p>A more interactive and web-based solution I found is:</p>
<p>[AP</a> English Language](<a href=“http://www.learnerator.com/ap-english-language]AP”>http://www.learnerator.com/ap-english-language)</p>
<p>Yeah, there are lots of resources you can work with as mentioned above and provided in lots of different websites. As a student prepping for AP Lang. myself, I find the level of dedication that it takes to self-study it is much more important than the technical aspect of the subject itself. For example, I am a voracious reader and a pretty good lit student always carrying a book around, but I’m completely inadequate when it comes to the AP test simply because I haven’t really been prepping for it. </p>
<p>I don’t know how it might change in college, but it seems to me that anything being taught at the high school level(including APs) can be mastered simply if, and only if, you put in enough time and never stop in the preparation process. It is not an easy thing to do when you have 7 other subjects to take care of and you have something called a pleasure-seeking life, but if you love English enough so that you can dedicate yourself to studying it, go for it.</p>
