***!!! Important Questions Before Makeup Exam !!!***
Hi! I took Lit last semester and need a refresher. I am taking the makeup exam on Monday and have a couple of questions before then.
As long as you provide depth and support, can you use any book for Q3, even if it isn’t on the AP Lit book list? I wasn’t sure if the book list was just recommendations, or if you have to stick to it.
Do you have to write about three literary devices to get full credit? Like intro paragraph/thesis, device 1 para, device 2 para, device 3 para, conclusion? That’s the structure I was taught to use for all of my essays in the class, but I’m afraid I won’t have time to write that much in 40 minutes because I’m such a slow writer. So if, hypothetically, I only had enough time to write about two devices, would that be penalized?
Any tips for working faster? For both essays and MCQs?
Any other additional tips like things that have helped you, things you wish you knew before the exam, or good things to study?
