MULTIPLE-CHOICE & FREE-RESPONSE QUESTIONS IN PREPARATION FOR THE AP ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION EXAMINATION - 7TH ED.

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new 7th edition of MULTIPLE-CHOICE AND FREE-RESPONSE QUESTIONS IN PREPARATION FOR THE AP ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION EXAMINATION.

In light of the fact that the AP English Language Examination is comprised entirely of nonfiction, the new 7th Edition AP English Language book has retained its popular six examination format. The completely new sample exams, totaling over three hundred challenging multiple-choice questions, are accompanied by equally challenging free-response prompts that address the three disparate language tasks: the essay analysis, the response to a citation, and the synthesis essay. Featuring two fully-explicated practice exams (with sample papers, rubrics and assessments), the edition has an additional four sample exams that challenge students with an interesting variety of nonfiction, including classic and contemporary essays, speeches and sermons, letters and travelogues, and even literary criticism. Among the over forty authors represented are Wright, Didion, Morley, Brokaw, Lamb, Emerson and Mencken.

Each class order is accompanied by a FREE Teacher's Manual, which contains all the sample questions as well as thorough explanations for both passages and questions. Separate student Answer Keys for the multiple-choice sections are included with each question book.

Though the greatest factor in student success on the AP English examinations is good teaching, test familiarity and practice should not be ignored or underrated. Prepare your students for the AP English Literature and Language examinations by ordering the books that provide the most comprehensive question selection (over 300!) and the most diverse and engaging passages. Increase their comfort – and your satisfaction – by ordering today.
