1. Write 1-2 paragraphs about the test in which you answer the following questions (you may post to your blog or bring hard copy to class Friday 2.17):
- What was easy/expected?
- What was difficult/unexpected?
- What did you learn about the AP questions?
- What did you learn about your own performance under pressure?
- How will this experience influence your preparation for the actual exam?
I did not find the test to be at all easy. I felt that the prompts were very complex, more than I had expected them to be. I had a hard time distinguishing what should be included in the introduction of the essay and what belonged in the body part of the essay. I learned that I should carefully read the prompt. I would read the prompt once and then write the introduction. Then I would go back and reread it only to realize that I had left out part of the prompt out. I would try to add it in, this messed up the flow of my introductions. I learned that when I am under pressure, I feel that I will fail so I give up. I will need to focus on reading the prompt carefully and completely analyzing it before I begin writing my essays. I also need to work on my attitude while taking the test.
