AP Lang helppp

This year I am taking AP Lang and I am struggling due to multiple factors. I don't have the best teacher but I did take AP Seminar last year which I've heard is supposed to help. Any advice on how to make myself better at it fast?

I've taken both AP Lang and Seminar, and I can say taking Seminar definitely helped. You just have to use the lessons you learned in Seminar---synthesizing information, introducing authors, etc---and apply them to Lang. A lot of what helped me was just using AP Classroom's resources and doing practice questions. I also read example essays from previous exams to help me see what AP readers look for. Good luck, you've got this!

I am also taking AP Lang this year! What really helps for reading is creating a sort of reading log, determining when you should read different party's of a book, setting time aside specifically to read. For essay and writing help, I've found that YouTube videos help a lot, especially if you have trouble embedding evidence.

I took AP Lang online, so I had no teacher at all and to be honest, definitely look online for help, in my experience AP Lang has been reading and essays, so if you need help there's always Khan Academy, you can take actual lessons on there and probably do better. To be honest, increase your reading comprehension, I kinda already have good reading comp so Idk how to fix that per se but definitely search online. Hope this helps.
