[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she wants to take an AP test because she’s ready she should be able to self study. There’s all kinds of information online.   Plus she is taking English class so [b]I’d guess she’s learning the same things in class that will be on the exam. [/b] [/quote]

English teacher here.

The AP Lang exam has three essays, and she needs to actually practice these.  Even if she is in a good, rigorous English class, she needs to know the specific form of the essays and practice them prior to the exam.

However, she CAN do that at home if she's a strong student.  I always recommend AlbertIO as the site kids who are self-taught should be using.  Here's a link, specifically to their presentation of one of the three essay types on the AP Lang exam: https://www.albert.io/blog/acing-the-ap-english-language-and-composition-synthesis-essay/

OP, have her sign up for an account at AlbertIO and ensure she prints materials and does practice for the three essay types.  There's also a multiple choice/MCQ section, and she can familiarize herself with the types of question and approach for that too.

Thank you!  This is very helpful.  She is a good English student but I am not sure what they cover in 10th grade and how pertinent it is to the AP Language test.  It is great to have a starting point so will get her signed up.[/quote]
