Out of all the AP exams that I've taken this past two week, the English Language is the only one that I finished under a not so ideal condition. This is mainly my problem as I should've chosen a better food combination for breakfast so I can concentrate on working instead of worrying about using the restroom. Aside from that I think that the exam was a fair game. One thing for sure is that we were well prepared for the essay part except the argumentative essay since you're on your own for that one essay.
The multiple choice section of the exam was just time consuming just like the practices we've taken in class. I have a feeling that I did not do that as well as I planned to do because the passages were boring and that no matter how much I study, no one can guarantee that things I've studied would be on the actual exam. I think that one thing I should've done was to study more of the writing strategies since I'm wasn't familiar with everyone of them. However, if I can know them by heart, I believe that the exam would be a bit easier.
Hello, my fellow classmate. I would strongly recommend you to have a well prepared meal around this time next year for your future exams. I completely agree with you on the fact that we can't really study for this AP exam except for knowing a few devices by heart. The reading passage were truly unappealing, but this is the point of this whole exam thing. On the other hand, I would have wished to bring an extra pack of tissues into the exam room during allergies season. But, I am just wondering what exactly is the food combination that you had for breakfast that causes you to have constant trips to the bathroom?
ReplyDeleteHey Yiming, I do agree that it is hard to study for English because the possibilities on the topics that they ask you about are endless. I laughed when you said that you constantly needed to go to the bathroom but it's okay since that was the one AP test I took where literally everybody needed to go to the bathroom. Even the proctors got annoyed at the end and stopped people from going. It was sad that a lot of people gave up on this test or didn't even bother with the essay. I heard so many stories from others about how their neighbors finished so early that they thought their neighbors were smart when they realized they were not doing anything. Which essay did you think was easier, the synthesis or rhetorical?
