College Confidential - View Single Post - AP English Lang + Comp (Multiple Choice!)

I've been heavily struggling with the AP Lang practice multiple choice exams, such as those from Barrons, in class practice, etc. (This also applies to my PSAT and SAT scores in critical reading). I always miss about 30-40% of the questions. When I read the explanations on the questions, sometimes I think, "oohhh okay... dang. How am I supposed to realize that?" or "What? That's such a biased opinion. That's not how I interpreted it."
I have no idea what to do anymore. I'm becoming stressed, fearing that I'm not going to get a 5, maybe not even a 4, on this exam.
I SERIOUSLY need help here.
How can I improve my scores on the multiple choice section? How can I interpret something the same way the book does, or think like the book does? Please please please, somebody help me out here.
