I've been looking at the Sparknotes and Shmoop pages for a lot of the books we've read in class, just to get a general overview of the plot and characters again. It's kind of like having a study guide for an entire book, in a way.
I've been reciting all of the vocabulary terms. I try to break down their meaning so I don't rely too much on memory. That way during the test I can figure out the meaning of a word if I can't directly remember it.
I use sparknotes and also reviewing the texts and ap literary terms we were given. I am very nervous about the exam but I know that I am going to give it everything I got.
Those are really good ideas! Shmoop also provided quotes relveant to particular themes with the text, which allows for precise quotations of text if you're up for a little memorization.
And Kaylyn, that's a cool way of learning the meaning of the words. I have trouble with memorization and that would be a wise way of tackling the vocab.
I used the english ap stud guide all the time to prepare for the test and i truly feel that it served my benefit now that the test is over i can see how much these hours of reading have served their purpose
I bought a separate study guide for all of my classes but now that I look back on it, it for the most part helped but not as much as I would have thought. I just went in to the test thinking I know what I know and everything else I don't.
