The benchmark wasn't THAT horrible, but I definitely don't think I passed. All the poems and passages were difficult to me (to a degree) but one passage was the worst out of all of them: the first prose passage, the one that talked about "the dawning of spring". It was horrible in that the was language was like a poem. Just longer and harder to understand. And the beginning of the passage was especially hard (I knew it was talking about water, but why? It REALLY didn't fit in with anything, or even make sense. I didn't understand till I moved on to the rest of the passage). But by the end of the passage I was able to glean some kind of understanding.
And what of the literary terms, you ask? Were there any ones giving me trouble? Heh, don't even get me started...... Lets just say there were a whole lotta A words in there I couldn't remember for the life of me, no matter how simple I know they are now.
And what can I do to improve my testing strategies for the big, bad AP exam, when it comes to the multiple choice section? IDK. Study literary terms and devices, get better at analyzing prose and poems, and anything else I suck at on this topic. But exactly how? That's up to you, teacher, for I have no clue as for what to do.
And it is, so, so very late in the game too.
