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:

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.
