AP classes are starting to prepare students for the AP exams that will be held next month. In AP literature the students are focusing on the essay portion of the test. They have the class period to write an essay and then they peer edit each other’s to find things they need to improve on before the test.
“I think the work we are doing is helping me prepare for the exam. It’s helping us see what kind of problems we’ll have to be answering on the exam, and it’s giving us practice at answering them,” said junior Savannah Kellis.
 In AP literature this week the teacher, Chris Snethen, is going to consult with each student about an essay they wrote in preparation during one of the class periods. The teacher will discuss what their strengths and weaknesses are of the paper so the student can get a grasp at what the grading will be like for the exam. 
“The teacher has been helpful through the preparation. Snethen has explained what the graders will be looking for and he’s going to talk to us personally about our practice essays to help us individually,” said Kellis.
Most of the students have mixed feelings about if they are prepared for the exams or not.
“To feeling prepared I would say yes and no. I feel like I have the essay part down but that’s it. We haven’t practiced anything else yet,” said Kellis.
