Detailed Information
About AP English Literature
About the AP English Literature Exam
AP English Literature and Composition is a literature exam focused on literary analysis, poetry interpretation, prose examination and literary argument essay writing. The exam consists of 55 MCQs and 3 FRQs (poetry analysis, prose fiction analysis, literary argument). Students must use literary terms (irony, symbolism, allegory, metaphor, tone, point of view) correctly in their analysis.
TestPrep Strategy for Scoring 5 on AP English Literature
In AP English Literature, the literary argument essay requires analyzing a given theme using a literary work of the student's own choosing. Having a broad reading repertoire therefore provides a critical advantage. TestPrep English Literature tutors teach close reading techniques, literary analysis terminology and essay structuring strategies. At least one poem and one prose passage are analyzed each week to systematically develop writing skills.
