The AP Lang exam was not at all what I expected. I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to fully sit through a 3 hour exam, having to write 3 essays and do 55 multiple choice questions, but I did it, somehow. I think I at least got a 3, so at least I passed. I definitely did not do amazing on the multiple choice though. The first and second passage were very hard though, and I wasn’t able to finish all the questions, I had to randomly bubble in C for the last 5 questions. The essays were very nice though and I think I could smoothly form my responses to the prompts. I messed on one part for the argument essay though; I wrote about Trump and I think that was a common response for a lot of students, so one of my reasons wasn’t very original. I think for the rest of the other essays, I did a pretty good job.
The environment during the test was a little annoying though. People kept entering and leaving the room, and slamming the door every 10 seconds. It took a while for everyone to find their seats, because there were so many seats and it was in alphabetical order in the gym. I honestly just wanted to get it over with so I just tried to do my best so I could go home and sleep. The test cramped up my hand so badly, I couldn’t hold a pen for the next 2 hours.
Hi Evelyn! I totally agree with you on the fact that the test was long and tedious; however, we managed to do it! The multiple choice was in fact very tricky and I guessed on most. Likewise, I also enjoyed the essays as we practiced for them a lot. Don't worry, I wrote about Adolf Hitler for my argumentative essay which was very common as well. I think given all of the detriments we still got fairly decent scores. Lastly, do you think the course was worth your time?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with everything you said! There were so many distractions during the test. I definitely think they need to get it under control for next year. The multiple choice was difficult and I felt like I was confused between two answers. It also didn't help that there were 2 19th century passages. Finally, do you think from your experience there was anything you could do to improve your multiple choice time?
