  1. The Day Before the Exam AP Literature

  2. Wednesday afternoon/evening • Study your literary device definitions sheet • Read over your lit review sheets on works you want to be familiar with • Read through Sparknotes, etc. on any work beyond the review sheets that you’d like to be familiar with • Read through old essays and comments from Ms. Van Winkle • Get a good night’s rest!

  3. Thursday morning, before school • Eat a good breakfast. It’s a three and a half hour test with only a short break. • Pack yourself a snack, just in case. • Bring your stuff. • Get to school at 7:30

  4. What to Bring • 2-3 #2 pencils that are sharpened BEFORE 8 A.M. No mechanical pencils • A very good eraser. • A blue or black pen that you know has lots of ink and works properly. This is needed for the essay portion. • A watch so you can pace yourself. You will not be permitted to have your cell phones out, so you will have to bring a watch to keep track of time during the test. Turn your cellphone into the office. If a cellphone rings during the test, or one is found on you, everyone’s scores can be invalidated. • No white out, no highlighters, no colored pencils. All materials like paper, books, backpacks, etc. will be put in the back of the classroom. •  Tissues.

  5. Multiple choice reminders • 55-60 questions on 4-5 poetry and prose passages • Scoring has changed: there is no penalty for wrong answers or skipped answers. You get credit only for what you get right. • Check to make sure your answers line up with the questions. • If there is a question you do not understand and/or feel is too difficult, leave it blank and come back to it later • Use the strategy! Go back to the whole chunk of the passage, not just the line.

  6. Essay Reminders • You will have to label each page of the essay section with the letter of the prompt. • The essays are each worth the same amount, but you will most likely write more on the open-ended question than either of the other two. This is normal. • For the poetry and prose analysis, be sure to read the selections carefully, quickly marking places you notice as significant for whatever reason (theme located, device used, etc.) • Write a brief outline of what you will write about • Analyze, analyze, analyze. • ANSWER ALL PARTS OF THE PROMPT • HURRY! YOU DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME!
