The AP literature/ composition exam is an exam that decides whether or not you get the college credit for that class since it’s a college course and if you pass it you don’t have to take it in college since you took it in high school. This exam takes a total of 3 hours to complete and has 2 sections. Everything that we have learned in class is a review for what’s going to be on the test.
The first section is multiple choice, there are 55 questions regarding short stories that you have read about. For this portion of the test you have one hour to complete it. The multiple choice questions test our abilities to read the question carefully and also are able to analytically prose and poetry throughout the time period. When on the multiple choice you probably need to be at question 30 halfway through the time left. For each question give yourself at least a minute per question always answer easy questions first then come back to difficult ones later. This part of the exam counts for 45% of your final score
The second section consists of 3 free open responses that we must complete with in 2 hours. These open response questions are making us analyze and be able to write critical essays pertain to literary texts. When taking this exam each open response question should at least take about 40 minutes that allows you enough time to write and organize what you are writing for each response. When answering these questions always make sure you answer the question promptly because sometimes we want to wander when writing. This section of exam counts for 55% of your final score
