Student Talk / Do SAT scores really count? [63]

That is the question I used to ask during my senior year too >_< My SAT was really poor.

In addition to the most "yes" that you get here, SAT matters greatly (usually) for merit based scholarship :/ (Which is what I regretted the most for not taking SAT seriously!)

Good luck.

Essays / Teaching method. AP English (Literature & Composition) Class Questions [10]

To AnnAsburY:
I have had different AP English teachers; they taught differently. Only one focused on daily essay (more like homework assessment), now we aren't doing much of writing except literature log. I have found myself declining :(

What do you mean by "debate on the quality of a novel"? Sounds interesting.

To RivalDestiny: Do you guys use any sample essays or books in order to identify those techniques or is it pure explanation of techniques? My teacher tends to want us apply techniques we know (thus we do not learn about techniques much).

To qomoco: We read about 2 books in a term. Is that normal?

To EF_Kevin: Yes. Indeed they do. Thank you for your advice.

To Envie: Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely take a look at promots from previous AP Exam. I agree with you about taking the college in class. The only problem is that my major is not English. Even though sometimes I do feel like I like literature a lot (the mysteries and "hidden" interpretations etc), but my writing discourages me from pursuing it. I guess I'd prefer to focus on my major. Another side is I really don't want to fail :/ It will make all the time seem wasted in a way.

Thank you all for your valuable comments.

Essays / Teaching method. AP English (Literature & Composition) Class Questions [10]

What is the typical method of a teaching method in AP English Class? My teacher mainly focuses on doing readings throughout the year. Though, I feel like I haven't learned much. I am very unprepared for the exam.

What about self studies? How can I improve my analytic skills? Lately I have found myself doing explanation/summarization a lot and it has become hard to make a good analysis.

Please advice. Thank you in advance.
