3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:  Very good!, By This review is from: Barron's AP English Language and Composition (Paperback) This book has helped me a lot with studying for the AP Lang test on Wednesday, actually. It has a detailed multiple choice section with practice questions plus common rhetorical strategies. The essay section is great, and has tips on the different essays plus, of course, sample essays ranging from awful to amazing. It also has a lot of practice tests. I'd definitely recommend this more concise book over Princeton Review's. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:  Great practice tests, but won't replace a good class, By This review is from: Barron's AP English Language and Composition (Paperback) The practice multiple choice tests are extremely similar, if not identical, to the real AP test in reading samples, difficulty, and overall feel. The book's scoring system is also pretty much right on. That being said, no practice book will make up for a year of hard work in your AP English Lang class- many students claim this is true for every AP test, but I think it's more true for this one than any other. This test measures skill, not ability to rehash information, so cramming simply won't work. 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful:  not necessary, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Barron's AP English Language and Composition (Paperback) I'm not saying this book wouldn't be helpful, I'm just saying that it's not really needed. Most of the information is on either writing essays or the full-length practice exams. For the essays, practice makes perfect, and as for the exams, you can find those online for less money. |
