THE AP EXAM!

After reading the lovely 43 pages about the AP English Exam I feel overwhelmed. Even though I am nervous about the entire exam, I am the most nervous about the essays. I take a really long time to write essays, and having time limits is going to make me nervous and stressed. The synthesis essay scares me the most, creating an argument from the sample sources. It takes me a long time to plan what I want to say. I think I need to work on time management during essays. I also think that tying in all of the sections of information that they give your for the essay could be difficult. I think the essay part will also be the hardest part for me. For some reason, in really big tests like ISTEP, I have a really hard time writing essays. It's not just the time that gets to me, but the stuff they choose for us to write about it just so awful, that it makes it even more difficult. I'm not really comfortable with any of the things on the exam, since there are only two. But I think I'm more comfortable with the multiple choice questions that the essays. Even if they ask things like what does the author mean when she says shizoid in line 12?
