For AP Lang, make sure you read the book and remember every last detail. The tests will include details that even the online study guides won't cover so they are very hard. Also, I noticed that there are not a lot of learning techniques to actually help you write essays, you are just expected to know how to write them already.

Mrs. Dragna really likes to abuse her power when it comes to homework. Most of the time it is very unnecessary. I was not in any way prepared for the AP test, and when it comes to to score distribution, it looked like many of the students didn't know what they were doing either. She doesn't teach you how to do anything, she just gives you a bunch of work and expects you to know hoe to do it already.
