Anyone else nervous about their 2013 AP Lit score?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>I know exams were nearly a month ago, but I’ve been thinking a lot about the AP English Lit and Comp exam and I’m super nervous. I feel like the MC wasn’t bad, which could really hurt the curve. Worst case scenarios, my essays might be 7/6/6, best 9/7/8. I’m so scared that I’ll end up with a “high 4.” I got a 5 on AP Lang and I need a 5 to get credit at my university. </p>

<p>I’m really not asking for advice, but is anyone else nervous? I had to cram Wuthering Heights into Question 3 and I feel like my essay was well-written, but the novel choice might send an initial bad impression to the reader. Any thoughts, anyone thinking similarly?</p>

<p>What character did you talk about from Wuthering Heights on Question 3?</p>

3

<p>Heathcliff, and the moment I used was when he was eavesdropping on Catherine and Ellen. I feel like it was well-written, but I’ve heard that WH is usually one of the overused novels. Hopefully they will be more lenient considering the narrowness of the prompt.</p>

4

<p>That sounds like a good topic to write about, and hopefully they will be more lenient, because that prompt was very narrow</p>

5

<p>Got my scores!</p>

<p>Predicted: 3</p>

<p>Actual: 4</p>

<p>I used Heart of Darkness</p>

6

<p>I got a 5 and used The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn lol</p>

7

<p>I got a 4. I predicted a 2. So YAY!</p>

8

<p>I got a 4 and used Bless Me Ultima!</p>

9

<p>really nervous</p>

10

<p>I got a 3 and used Catcher in the Rye. At least I passed, I was predicting a 2.</p>

11

<p>5 with Crime and Punishment…guess I still made it work though.</p>

12

<p>I got a 5 and was expecting a 3 or 4… I used Sula for Q3</p>

13

<p>I got a 3 and used Jane Eyre…I was really confident, I was the top of my class, people were telling me I’d get a 5…I got the award for AP Lit, I always made 6-8 on my essays in class…I think my multiple choice let me down</p>

14

<p>I got a 3 and used Invisible Man. I got a 4 on AP Lang last year so I was hoping for a 4. A little disappointing but English is my worst subject.</p>

15

<p>I got a 5 and used Jane Eyre. I predicted a 4, so I’m happy.</p>

16

<p>I predicted a 5 and I got a 5 :slight_smile:
I used The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao for the Q3</p>

17

<p>@ violeta22…I used Jane Eyre as well and picked the “big moment” as when she hears Rochester’s voice…I got a 3 on the exam, and I misquoted something…I said “bone to bone, flesh to flesh” when it was “bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh”…Sigh, I hope that didn’t bring down my score so bad. Can we compare essays?</p>

18

<p>Got a 5. </p>

<p>I didn’t know what the exam format was going into the test, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Definitely happy!</p>

19

<p>Woo! 5, Jane Eyre. Pretty sure my essay was bad and only redeemed by my MC though.</p>

20

<p>I got a 5, and am pretty happy. No freshman English for me! I used Jane Eyre as well for Q3, and talked about the moment when Jane chose to leave Thornfield. That poetry question was killer, though; I don’t think I mentioned a single poetic device in my essay, and instead focused on general analysis.</p>
