Hey, so I’m taking the AP English Language test this Wednesday, and I was just wondering how hard they grade the essays? I took a few practice tests and have the MC down pat, but I’m not sure what to expect from essays. I consider myself a fairly good writer but am not the best at speed writing. How hard would you say it is to get a 6 or 7 on the essays? Are 8s and 9s common?
