The Day Before The AP Exam

Alright Juniors, the day is finally here.  Tonight you've got your last night before you go in tomorrow for three hours of fun.  Here are some final reminders for you all as you're reviewing and studying tonight.

1.  Get a good night's sleep.  Bedtime:  no later than eleven pm.  No all nighters.  You need to be fresh in the morning.

2.  Get a good breakfast in the morning.  There's nothing worse than trying to write an essay on an empty stomach.

Study Tips:

• look over all of the multiple choice practices that I've given you - focus on the questions that you've been getting wrong and understand why the correct answer is the correct one.
• focus on reviewing rhetorical devices and tone words - there are plenty of online resources for you to use for this - I posted some for you a few posts back - here's another link for you of good devices to know
• remember the three types of writing:  synthesis, analysis, and argument - remember what you need to do in each one

Lastly, AP Kids, tomorrow - don't write like this:  "I feel like people try to blame humorists and sue them because of the things he or she may say but must I remind you of our unalinable rights and not only our unalienable rights but our Bill of Rights saying and stating that we have freedom of speech meaning that a humorists can say what it pleases and he or she also have the right to a speedy trial meaning if they were to get sued or arrested to can plead their case.  My main point is that it is too much hatred in the world and not enough encouragement."

Yeah, someone wrote that for their AP exam.  Good luck.  Come see me tomorrow and let me know how it went!
