<p>I'm going to be a junior next year and I'm going to need one of those books to get a good score on the AP test. According to everyone, AP English Lang. at my school is a joke and really easy. I just fear the same won't be true for the AP test. This is good for me because I hate writing and english class, but I need a good score on the AP test. My big hope is to get a 4 or 5 on this test so that I can get out of college writing classes :D. I'm willing to put in all my effort to this test because my other AP classes are either really easy or just not as important. I know that I'm going to need extra help to get a good score on my worst subject.</p>

<p>Thank You,
All help is aprreciated</p>

<p>Everybody here says Cliffs.</p>

<p>I would usually say Princeton Review for everything, but I got a 4 on this exam using Cliffs. And yes, the class may seem to be a joke but I was actually surprised that it helped prepare me for the exam with all of the practice questions and prompts that we did.</p>

<p>The class really does help because all of the practice writing essays will more than prepare you for the exam. I used Peterson’s “Master the AP English Language Exam” and I thought it was really good. The questions weren’t exactly like the exam, but they were very similar. I got a 5 on the exam and I don’t even like English.</p>

5

<p>I used Kaplan, it’s good too.</p>

6

<p>I used Barron’s for everything. I thought they were really good, except for physic B, which had a lot of mistakes and typos, but I’m sure they fixed that by now.</p>

7

<p>I say Princeton is the best for AP Language and Composition.</p>

8

<p>Not Kaplan. Filled with typos and much harder than actual test.</p>

9

<p>Cliff’s is the best for AP English Language.</p>

10

<p>I hear Cliff’s mostly, but I’m not sure how much you would need a review book</p>

11

<p>I still say Petersons/ARCO</p>

12

<p>At my school the class is considered a joke too but I was fine without any book at all. ( I got a 5.)</p>

<p>The test really isn’t that difficult, especially if you’ve taken other advanced or honors English classes.</p>

<p>i happened to glance over cliffs before my lang AP, the only prep i did, and one of the tidbits i picked up helped a lot on one of the essays…</p>

<p>I have a similar question…</p>

<p>I’m Starting to Self Study AP Eng Lang</p>

<p>How do I improve at multiple choice on the AP english language exam? that seems to be my problem, and however many times i practice, for every passage, I can only get about 45% of its questions correct. the critical reading on the SAT seems to be easier for me, though i was told the SAT CR and AP MC are very similar. For the people who took the class, how did you practice for MC? </p>

<p>also is there a chart for converting raw scores to AP scores(5,4,3…) that someone could please post here…and is there a good curve… because my prep book doesnt have a good chart (cliffs)</p>

<p>i would appreciate all advice, thanks.</p>
