What is the best way to prepare for the AP English Language exam?

<p>I am in need of advice on how best to prepare for the AP English Language exam that I will be taking in May.</p>

<p>Although I have been able to manage a steady, albeit low, A in my class, I have not been doing consistently well on the practice essays we have had to write. Out of at least 7 essays we’ve written, I have not been able to complete a single essay within the alloted writing time of 40 minutes. Usually, I will get anywhere from a 4-6 on said essays. I also struggle just coming up with ideas for the compare/contrast and analysis essays, which I imagine is how I end up running out of time.</p>

<p>Any tips on how to improve on the essays, above all else?</p>
