Yesterday I took the English AP test in the morning. It was three hours long and was intense the whole way through. If I was a teacher I would hope I had taught my students well enough that they felt prepared for this test. We would have reviewed and practiced AP material all semester if not all year. So the students would atleast have a warning of what the test would be like and what they would have to do. The AP test is a hard test that has two parts, one being 55 multiple choice questions and the other being 3 essays over the given prompts. You are given an hour for part one and two hours for part two, totalling to 3 hours. From a teachers stand point the test is an assessment of how well the students grasped concepts from the year anb the knowledge they obtained. And if they do well enough they get college credit. Which can come in handy to further their education.
