A few things I found effective this year were the amount of
essays we wrote, reading about writing composition, practice tests, and
socratic seminars. Reading the book at the beginning of the year helped better prepare
me to write the essays we practiced for the ap test. It taught me how to write a
successful opening and closing and helped me break the traditional 5 paragraph
essay style. The practice tests gave me an idea of how the test would look but I
think they would have been more beneficial if we took them more often and spent
more time going over commonly missed answers. I think the amount of time spent
on essays was effective and grading was very clear for what to expect on the
exam. After taking the test, it would’ve been helpful to review essay styles
that we went over at the beginning of the year. I also found the socratic
seminars effective but it would’ve been more effective to do them earlier in
the year instead of right before the exam.
