This week we did not learn much of anything in class, but with ourselves. We took a practice AP test of the multiple choice portion, and let's just say I need to study. I learned that I need to expand my vocabulary or I'm going to miss more questions in the future. Coming across words in the test that I don't know not only holds me up and wastes my time, but it usually affects how I answer the question, whether it be wrong or right. I also need to look up more of the literary terms listed in the test, as I also didn't know what some of them were. I feel like my biggest problem with the test though was the reading comprehension. Most of the stories I understood well, but my interpretations of them were wrong, and it showed when we corrected the tests. I'm not really sure if it was a lack of understanding of the question, the text or I was just plain wrong though. There was a story or two though where I had to go back and re-read it a time or two, because I have a hard time understanding old english. This AP test taught me that I am not at all ready for the AP test, and if I decided to take it now I probably would not pass. But on the other hand, I do feel very confident on the other portions of the test, such as the writing. I feel that my few weeks in this class has improved my writing skills, and to the point that I feeli I'd do just fine in the writing potion of the test. Maybe not "A" worthy, but enought to get a passing month. This site, https://www.albert.io/blog/ap-english-literature-tips/ has tips on how to get through the AP test, and I know I will be looking at it more in the future when the time comes for the test. I difinitely know I'll have to do a lot of preparation for this test.
