AP English Language and Composition

<p>So I was wondering if anybody had like a basic consolidated list of terms that we should know? If so, would you guys be willing to share? My english teacher has been doing … well, nothing. Hahaha. She has given us the past week to self study for other aps -.-;; lol so anybody willing to share!!! pleasee??? :)</p>

<p>p.s. I’ve been taking some practice exams and I keep noticing that the word process shows up. What is process?! :(</p>

<p>A process is a set of directions for how to do something or a description of how something happens or is done. The fundamental structure for a process essay or paragraph is therefore chronological.</p>

<p>If your school uses the Prentice Hall Reader, they have an entire chapter dedicated to process.</p>

<p>ooohhh I kinda get what you mean. Do you think that you can give me some examples? Our school uses like a literature book… which does not really help for this kind of english test lol</p>

<p>Examples: </p>

<p>Describing how to play an instrument
A recipe in a cookbook
A description of how an earthquake occurs
An essay describing the history behind suicide bombings in the Middle East</p>

<p>etc.</p>

<p>Thanks llpitch! wow… it has like the same basic meaning as its regular use… i feel so stupid now lol</p>

<p>so anyway, anybody willing to share a list of terms for english lang o.o</p>

<p>Did you buy a prep book? Cliffs AP is great for Eng Lang - lots of terms, tips, etc.</p>

<p>Hahah yeah I bought Cliffs but there’s only like 72 pages worth of review stuff and the rest is like practice tests -.-;; kinda worried that those 72 pages wont be enough =/</p>

<p>Well just study the 72 pages really well and start taking practice tests =]</p>

<p>How are others studying for this test?</p>

<p>I’m not even gonna crack open a book lol. The way I look at it, it’s english. What you write is what your write. Your skills as a writer won’t make a significant difference unless you haven’t been familiar with the 3 types of essays. I see buying a book for the multiplechoice, but my teacher has been going overboard with them.</p>

<p>anyone have links to the three essays?</p>
