Having taken the multiple choice on this year’s AP exam I would have liked to focus more on footnotes as I didn’t know how to interpret any of those and was sure to get the 3 or 4 footnote questions wrong. Other than that, there isn’t much you can teach a student to do better on the reading comprehension. The varied multiple choice practices throughout the year was effective in preparing us for that section. The rest of the year was very involved with the writing and I can for sure say that it helped my writing because I went from a 5 to 7s and 8s. one thing about the writing process was that I wish you would tell us your scoring on the essay so the class knows when they are being far too critical or far too lenient. It would better allow us to have a deeper understanding of what those benchmarks and scores relate to. The class was very chill which I appreciated in the mornings, although the grading was the hardest of any of my classes. It is also very stressful waiting for half of the grades to be entered in for the class in which you have the lowest grade. Although it was a very different type of learning environment from anything I had experienced before, looking back I am glad to have gone through it.
