AP Lang with Holland is a nice experience. She is a nice teacher, and she gives EXCELLENT feedback, so pay attention to what she says about your writing. This class will be hard at first; you might be used to formulaic writing when writing essays, but in this class, you HAVE to let go of that. Your writing needs to be natural and nuanced, not formulaic like English 2. We don't get tests, but we do have timed writings often. To study for those, just find some AP Lang FRQs or something. Every quarter, you will have a multiple-choice test. I found that to be tricky, but just do the process of elimination and read the questions before answering; it's like the SAT, but the passages are denser.
