I
think writing essays and doing multiple choice tests every month was helpful
and prepared us well for the AP exam. I think that perhaps some more in-depth
looks at why certain essays are better than others could be helpful, particularly
at the beginning of the year. I know this was done, but I think some people who
already struggled with writing coming into the class may have been “left behind”
as it were. However many people find reading essays in class a long and
sometimes tedious process, and are therefore less engaged. So I understand a
delicate balance must be made between the two, which may even vary year to
year.
I
think perhaps some review (an overview of the test and what you need for each
essay, tips, etc.) at the end of the year before the test could be helpful. Additionally,
the time given around AP tests for studying and doing what we personally needed
was very helpful, relaxing, and considerate. So, again, there is a delicate
balance.
