My son AP teacher requires this book for her English class because it's very helpful for students to practice essays. Multiple choice section makes the easy way to understand readings. Definitely highly recommends if you have trouble with essays.
What I love about this particular guide for the AP Language and Composition is that the readings and explanations are very representative of the AP Language test.The readings cover not only modern non-fiction, but more archaic essays from the 17th and 18th century that students might see on the exam. There are various practice tests that cover many of the aspects of the AP test, such as explanations and models for both passages and essay prompts.I liked how the explanations on the multiple choice detailed why an answer was correct as well as giving information as to why the other options were not correct. Also, what I liked particularly is that there are model sample "low" and "high" scoring essay responses for the various prompts (Argumentative, Prose, Synthesis). The readings and sample questions are very representative of the actual test, so this is a good resource for any AP Language student who just wants to brush up, see some practice questions, see some practice prompts, etc. Overall, this a very useful guide.
The book was very useful. Since Swovelin is an AP Exam reader, she knew what she was talking about. Although it is great I would say get this and the REA Crash Course and you'll be set for a 5.
This book has been recommended to me by other teachers of AP English Language and Composition. Now I know why they are "sold" on this one. It is the best I've used for assisting my students in understanding the concepts presented in the course.
Get this book for the practice tests. To do well on that exam, you need to practice. The tests found in this book are similar to the exam.
I purchased this book for my daughter, who is currently taking AP English Language and Composition. Because her teacher is new to AP and still going through the teacher training, I was looking for a source that would explain the concepts in detail, as opposed to a book of practice tests. This was the closest I found, based on the description, and it does consist of mostly practice tests. At the back of the book are several appendixes which define terms and provide past essay topics, but would be better suited to a student who is reviewing, not learning it from the book. It would probably be a wonderful book for a student who has learned, but needs to review, the concepts.
If you are taking the AP Language test, you really need this book. It helps you prepare to take the test. My daughter used the AP Literature book and received a perfect score of 5. This book is worth the cost, but realize you need to put in the effort and use this book to succeed on the test.
I feel the multiple choice section of this book really helped me understand what the AP test makers are asking for. Thanks Cliffnotes!
