Summary: An A.P. Lang student's take 2007-12-21
Comment: The book was basically helpful though it wasn't enough in and of itself to get me a five.
Pros:
It made me feel more comfortable and got me used to the organization and structure of the exam, as it was jam-packed with "strategies." It also had a practice test with real past exam questions.
Cons:
Students should read this book with previous knowledge of most of these subjects. It teaches you how to approach the questions and how to answer the questions they give, but it still leaves you drawing a blank on the actual exam questions which you've never seen before.

I got a 5 on the exam, but I did outside preparation.

Conclusion: Good as a source, but not as the only studying vehicle.

Summary: Very neat, well-organized, down to the point 2007-10-28
Comment: As I haven't taken the English language AP exam yet (i'm a high-school junior), I don't know how effective this workbook is compared to the difficulty of the test, but I looked through it and started working on it a little, and it's very neat (and thin)..

Summary: New edition helpful for the synthesis question 2007-08-23
Comment: I used this book this summer in a prep course our district has designed to give students a boost going into AP Language and Composition as their first AP course. I found Part III, the comprehensive review, to be most helpful in preparing students to use the skills needed for analysis, argument, and synthesis. AP exam multiple-choice questions are easy to find, but I like that this book offers something more: a comprehensive overview of the essays and the literary/rhetorical terms and a clear outline of the body of knowledge needed to approach the exam successfully. I also trust Murphy and Rankin as experienced AP teachers and exam readers. My students were not bored, and went into their AP courses feeling confident.
