comp or lit? or both?

I think I took Lit it was pretty easy. Just remember a book and write your essay on that. They give you a topic just write it around the book. mine was heart of darkness.

got a 4... meh it was worth 2 classes of credits.

 

[th3dumbguy]

omfg. all "high-scoring" sample essays seem like they were written by authors of the passages... and the multiple choice seems impossible.

i was gonna take the comp sci A exam but i didnt really get a good grasp of the different sorting methods and arrays confused the heck outta me.

 

[pray4mojo]

I suck at writing therefore I will not pass. Meh.

please, the APs are nothing compared to the exams you will take in college

 

[Otaking]

If you don't do well on your English AP, try the SAT II Writing. I did very well on both (4 on AP, 750 on SAT II), and it didn't help me cuz they gave me credit for the same classes. :thumbsdown:

[cyclohexane]

[moshquerade]

english is soooooo easy

[Sheepathon]

ap comp and lit are cake

just write something profound that you supposedly learned from books you've read.

 

[czech09]

Pssh I remember I got a 2 on Lang and a 3 on lit...not anything glamorous unfortunately.

 

[pennylane]

Sleep. Get a good night's rest and relax. Nothing you can do now.

I got a 4 on the comp sci A 4 years ago, and I didn't even answer the last question cause I didn't have time.. and i muffled up a bunch of the other answers, just wrote down words to make it confusing. i think people must have sucked at it that year (that whole curved-nature of it).. ended up giving me 6 elective credits at my current school though, fully worth the $77 bucks.

i wonder how much they cost now..

I would rather taken Calc B/C over and over and over again than take english. I hated that test and the class leading up to the test.

But really, when you sit there in front of the questions, things slowly come back to you and when you start writing you won't believe how much bs you can spew out. At the end of the test you'll be like, "damn, did i just write all that?"

good luck

ha ha ha ha :evil:

Oh, and i don't think college tests are harder than the AP tests except for maybe finals. AP tests are designed to last hours, college tests (except finals) last 1 class period.

 

[AAman]

yeah, you'll do fine, I got a 5 through the greatest stroke of luck...the poem we had to analyze was the same one we used for our practice essay in my senior class!

just look to see if the pieces you get are similar to what you've written about before, that work should still be fairly fresh in your mind just incorporate it into your essay with minor changes....also known as regurgitation, plagiarism, creative writing, and a host of other names

good luck to you, good luck to me. got a physics exam coming up in about 6 hours
