I'm stumped about the AP English Literature essays. I feel like seeing some high-quality sample responses would help a lot. Does anyone have any resources or websites where I can find these? Thanks in advance!
Sure thing! College Board's website is a great resource for this. They offer examples of student responses from past AP English Literature exams along with scoring explanations. I would highly recommend you to carefully read the top-scoring essays to get a sense of what AP graders are looking for.
Additionally, it might be beneficial to look at the ones that didn't score as high and read the graders' feedback on these essays. By doing so, you can learn how to avoid common mistakes and strengthen your own essays.
Remember, practice honing your skills beyond simply reviewing examples. Try writing essays to the prompts from the previous exams. Then compare your responses to the high-scoring examples to see where you can improve. This process can be incredibly beneficial in improving your writing skills and ensuring you're adequately prepared for the AP exam. Good luck!
