Exam Review Topics and Links

Semester Exam Time: One hour and 40 minutes Part 1: Multiple Choice - 30 Questions - Includes Poetry and Prose Part 2: Essay, taken from past AP prompts. This essay will require you to select from a list of the longer works we’ve studied this semester. This includes A Doll House, The Importance of Being Earnest, Frankenstein, Night and The Metamorphosis. The exam, which is worth 10% of your semester grade, has a total of 130 possible points for you to earn. The essay is worth 100 points, and the multiple choice portion is worth 30 points. The multiple choice is of AP-level rigor, so I will be grading it out of 120.
