<p>So for all you folks with the straight A's in all honor/APs, give me some tips please:D I need them:)</p>
<p>Well, my AP Language course was pretty much a writing class - we wrote an essay a week. So I'd say, proofread proofread proofread, read your papers aloud and everything.</p>
<p>And when you get to doing the prompts - more is better. Write as much as you can in the 40 minutes while staying coherent.</p>
<p>dude, AP language is hard... i had like a 91 this quarter and had the 3rd highest grade in class... my advise is READ the books/poems/whatever (if you are reading something), and note tone/mood/audience,etc.... pay attention to grammar.... learn the names of sentence structures and everything in them... when you write essays STAY ON TOPIC!!! lol...</p>
<p>the only way to get an A in an Ap language is to be a nerd w/ no life at all</p>
<p>I am also having trouble maintaining an A in AP Lang + Comp. Our class isn't as much writing focused as analytical, which I hope won't be a problem come the AP test. I would advise you to work really hard on essays by planning them out and really proofreading them.</p>
<p>Its not that difficult. In all your timed writings, make sure your thesis is something to the effect of "[insert author here] uses [insert 3 rhetorical devices here And if your having trouble, you can always say things like "ornate diction"] to illustrate the finer points of the complications of the human psyche. The use the three body paragraphs to talk briefly about each device. And use the conclusion to tie your ideas together.</p>
