Weekly blog
This week we did even more preparation for the AP test. It was similar to the last time, but it was more extensive. We did nothing the whole week except for this. It was kind of like a cycle. We would start out by taking the question portion of the test, then score it. After that we would do some work with looking at other essays and scoring them or just whatever we had planned that day, then we would actually write an essay. I believe we wrote three all together that week. I got the sixes and sevens on my essays, which is not a terrible score but it wasn't great. And for the question portion, the first time we took it I scored terribly, somewhere around the low twenties. The next few times we took it my score just rose and rose, and ended up in the high thirties, which is still not that great of a score. But at the end of the week when we used the AP test calculator it said that with those results I would have scored a four on the test, although I'm not sure if I believe that. I feel as though if I pass the test, it will for sure be with a three. But in all I am thankful for this prep week. I have learned just about how long it takes to write each essay to the best of my ability, so I can pace myself for the test. And I also have developed a few strategies for the question portion of the test as well that are specific to me. In the end I found this week to be extremely helpful and this website, http://study.com/academy/lesson/how-to-focus-your-essay-and-respond-to-the-essay-prompt.html is definitely helpful to me personally, but might benefit a few other people.
