The AP English Language & Composition Study Thread

<p>ahhhhh i'm so scared!!!!! ><em><
i'm hoping for a five...but i think most likely i'll get a 4. -</em>-;;</p>

<p>ahhhhhhh</p>

<p>How many questions will be on MC? </p>

<p>Does it matter if we do the prompts out of order?</p>

<p>I was fretting really bad, so I took the college board practice multiple choice, and weighted out of 49, I got 31.75. Happy now, though still nervous.</p>

<p>I seriously wish the best of luck to everyone. Just remember to relax, and try your best. It's only a test. Granted...a big one. But what will one score mean 50 years from now? Good luck everyone! CCers rock to the umpteenth degree!</p>

<p>You can do them in any order, but you must write the number in the box at the top of the page, stating which question you are responding to.</p>

<p>I definitely want at least a 4. If I get a 3, I'll probably be somewhat depressed, as English is one of my best subjects...A 5 would be very nice, though, hehehe...</p>

<p>There should be around 55 questions on 4 passages... if there are 5 passages, however, (which is bad) then there'd be only around 50 questions.</p>

<p>I'm not nervous about tomorrow. I have nothing to lose. I'm going to college this fall, no matter what happens tomorrow.</p>

<p>:P You're lucky hairypotty. Some of us, like me, want awesome scores on our APs because our ECs are too average or our GPA isn't in the 3.8-4.0 range. <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>test in 8.5 hours</p>

<p>sorry rippon, i hadn't read that far back</p>

<p>ok bed time</p>

<p>or both potato :P</p>

<p>hmm test is actually in 12 hours... I LOVE PST!</p>

<p>Good Luck tomarrow morning everyone!</p>

<p>"There should be around 55 questions on 4 passages... if there are 5 passages, however, (which is bad) then there'd be only around 50 questions."</p>

<p>So...it changes from year to year?</p>

<p>Yeah I think it does.</p>

<p>Oh god, I'm so bad with essays, I think I'm going to puke.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone. I've still to take a practice test.</p>

<p>Edit: Okay, not true. I've done practice essays before, but .. haven't done well. My main problem is I'm a terribly slow reader. Math's my strength.</p>

<p>minimum m.c. score for a five with 20 avg on essays?</p>

<p>30/55, according to this PR book I have open right now.</p>

<p>30/55 + 20/27 essays does not = 5 sorry</p>

<p>So i know it's a little late, but i just wanted to rant about how Cliff's last 2 practice tests SUCK.</p>

<p>First 3 were amazing..raised my average raw score up by alot.
But the last 2 tests... COMEON! they were obviously just shoved in as fillers. The explanations are about half the length of the earlier ones. And by the way: They're USELESS! </p>

<p>The earlier ones would tell why each individual answer was wrong, and why the right one was right. The last ones pretty much restate the correct answer. THANKS ALOT.</p>

<p>The questions are ridiculously ambiguous and have completely shaken my confidence. Does anyone else have the same situation or is it just me??</p>

<p>From 5 steps to a 5:
1) Take multiple choice raw score and multiply by 1.227 (if 55 questions)</p>

<p>Essay 1: pts x 3.055
Essay 2: pts x 3.055
Essay 3: pts x 3.055
2) Essay 1 + Essay 2 + Essay 3 = essay raw score</p>

<p>Add multiple choice to essay score from 1 to 2 to get:
General trend:
150-100 = 5
99-86 = 4
85-67 = 3</p>

<p>(Average, scale varies)
So 30 on mc + 6's on all your essays = 4
30 on mc + 7's on all your essays = 5</p>

<p>i cant frikin fall asleep. wow.. life really sux.. this has got to be the worst night of my life.. im not worried or anything, i just cant fall asleep. wow..</p>
