Reflective Journal- Exam Week 1


The essay weeks really are a great way for me to practice for the test. One of my friends is also self-studying for the AP English and I have taken to printing out the prompts and both of us timing ourselves and writing the essays. This way; I have more of a test-taking atmosphere and don’t lose track of time. But now I’m really worried about the multiple-choice. I always had a problem with those; it’s usually because I don’t understand the prompts and therefore answer the question wrongly. My first multiple-choice grade was HORRIBLE…I got a 7 out of 15; or a 46%...I really hope my study sessions with my friend can remedy that; because while I’m, ok in the essays she needs help in that; yet she’s really good at the multiple-choice and therefore we kind of balance each other out. The essays; I think my outlining time and organization takes more time than what I actually write. I think this is because of my organization problem. I hope I can get specific help on this from my instructor; because I believe I know what I want to say; but the right way to say it; that’s the prob.
