This week our class started to prepare for the AP Lit test, even though most of the class wasn't taking it. We started out by reviewing other written essays, and judge how they would be scored based off of the writing. Most of the ones I scored I got right, and it was easy to see what constituted a high score, and visa versa. We then started taking mock tests, instead of writing the essays. I would like to say I did fairly well on them and that they were useful for the insight they gave me, to know what type of questions would be on the AP test. Then finally we started writing essays. We would then give them to our peers to score and judge, which I'm not sure that it was an accurate way to score our papers, even though we had an idea of what paper got what score. With the AP test coming up I find the time that we spent this week invaluable, because for myself personally, I am not a great test taker. And when it comes to writing essays, I tend to see things in a different light than other people, summing up my essay response "wrong". A lot of why I took this class though was to save money for the future. I am hoping that I get at least a three on the test. Even if I didn't, I wouldn't say my time here was wasted. I learned a lot that in the future will come to help me when I write or in any of my English classes. In all though, I am happy that I took this class, even if I don't happen to get a passing score.
