<p>Anyone take this exam? Or is taking the class? How are you preparing for it? Etc. Etc.</p>

<p>I am freaking out because I just realized my teacher didn’t teach us anything–no joke, and I’m sitting here learning about Greek theater, and who knows? </p>

<p>Any help? Please?</p>

<p>I totally aced the AP English Lang–but I also was prepared for that test all year. </p>

<p>Any good study regimens for the next couple weeks?</p>

<p>If you got a 5 on the lang one then i think (not sure) that is all the credit you would get</p>

<p>I’ve been taking some practice tests, using the AP Barron’s book. We’ve been preparing in class as well, looking at multiple choice questions from past exams. Throughout the year, we’ve also written essays using past prompts (these you can find here: <a href=“AP English Literature and Composition Exam – AP Students”>http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/english_lit/samp.html?englit&lt;/a&gt; )</p>

<p>what mitan_da1 said is not true.</p>

5

<p>i did a little research that is for some colleges not all.</p>

6

<p>so nervous about this test. we’ve barely done anything with both of the poetry & prose essay prompts, and my teacher is on maternity leave. :/</p>

7

<p>I have no idea what I’m doing. We took 4 practice MC tests, and I score in the 20-35 range. :'(</p>

8

<p>Oh no, less than two weeks! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!</p>

<p>I took both Lit and Lang last year and got 5’s on both. My Lit teacher spent a lot of time teaching us obscure literary terms, one of which was on the test. I think it’s more important to make sure that you have a lot of reading experience and experience with interpreting the material; I have no faith in review books.</p>

10

<p>I have a good teacher and we’ve been doing at least one practice essay a week for the last few months. It’s crazy but every single person in the class last year took it and passed. I can write those essays really fast and easy now. Considering that the essays make up almost half the test I think this is important to practice.</p>

11

<p>I’m worried, because my teacher got cancer, so this semester we’ve had 9 or 10 subs come in. My teacher has standard, honors, and an AP class…and we’ve all been doing basically the same stuff since January.</p>

12

<p>Little: Do you go to Beverly Hills High?</p>

13

<p>Sheesh I’m so worried for this test.</p>

14

<p>OmgItsCollege: No, I go to Smyrna High, in Tennessee.</p>

15

<p>OK–so I’ve been taking practice exams, and scoring well… NOT passing scores.</p>

<p>So, anyone have any tips on how to write essays?
And read poems?
And how to attack the MC section… Seriously, I’ve got 3 days to pull this…</p>

16

<p>does anybody know the score breakdown (is it in anybody’s review book…like in the intro)? Do you need to get fewer points than on the lang to get a 5?</p>

17

<p>108-150 Composite
free response points times 4.something + (correct)-1/4(wrong)</p>

<p>Argh… How are people doing the poetry and EVERYTHING?</p>

18

<p>I’m terrible at poetry. I miss about 2/12 on Prose and like 6/12 on poetry. Lol.</p>

19

<p>i am thankful they won’t make us write poetry…lol</p>

20

<p>small town girl…could you please tell me the exact formula for the score? Thank you very much.</p>
