Pre-AP Class Taken: Pre-AP English II
Year Taken: 2019-2020
Material Advice: The book you read in class, pens, sparknotes
General Advice:
-This class can be extremely tricky, but make sure you're paying attention to the teacher. For essays, take the tutorials to your advantage to have your teacher specifically point out what you should improve and for more tips to better your essay. Regarding quizzes and test, they are typically on the book you read. Make sure you understand the book and understand the theme, symbols, and character development that occurs. If you have trouble understanding, sparknotes helps you summarize the main ideas which really helps! Regarding APMC's you will take, do not stress on these. Yes, they are terrible, but they are meant to be hard, so don't beat yourself up if you don't do well (a majority of us don't do as well as we want but for APMC's, it's considered good:)) APMC grading is definitely different than grading a regular assignment in English. Just do your best! Lastly, English is typically not a class you can study for, but when you can, take advantage of that and study until you are sure you understand the material needed for the major grade!
