AP Literature and Composition

This course will help students prepare for the three-hour Advanced Placement (AP) Literature exam offered by the College Board in early May. The exam tests students’ ability to understand, analyze, and interpret the form and content of poems and fictional passages through 55 multiple-choice questions. The exam also asks students to write three essays that analyze literary techniques used by poets, fiction writers, and playwrights. The course will give students an overview of the exam, review testing tips and strategies, and provide opportunities to practice and discuss multiple-choice questions and essay prompts from College Board-released exams and a reputable AP test prep book.
