AP English Literature and Composition Test Prep FAQs
- The advanced placement (AP) exam is a collection of standardized tests that measure your knowledge of literature and test your ability to analyze and develop various writings. The AP English Literature and Composition Exam assesses students’ understanding of the skills and essential knowledge outlined in the course framework. The exam assesses content from the course’s six Big Ideas: Character, Setting, Structure, Narration, Figurative Language, and Literary Argumentation.
- The AP English literature and composition exam will assess a student’s understanding of the following categories: rhetorical situation, claims and evidence, reasoning and organization, style, creative writing, and reading and writing. On the exam, you will complete multiple-choice and free-response sections. This exam is based on the course and exam description and will include writing assignments, college-level literary analysis, close reading, literary works, and short stories.
- The AP English Literature and Composition exam is typically designed for high school students as AP classes are offered in either their high school or a participating school.

This is an excellent option for some introductory college-level courses.
- The AP English Literature and Composition exam is considered one of the more difficult AP tests offered; however, the difficulty of the exam overall depends on the individual’s abilities and the quality of instruction at their school.
- Yes, AP English Literature and Composition prep is necessary. Those planning to take the test should prep early, often before the exam. It is highly recommended to take an AP English Literature and Composition class and review the content several weeks before the exam. AP courses typically finish covering new content at least a week before the exam, giving you time to review what you have learned. With Peterson’s test prep, you’ll have access to everything you need to help you study and prepare for your exam.
- The best way to study for the AP English Literature and Composition exam is by reading a lot of various materials, writing daily, learning how to study and analyze text, utilizing flashcards, taking practice exams, engaging in class discussions, and timing for the exam outside of class.

- One example of an AP English Literature and Composition FRQ might ask for a Prose Analysis Essay. Here is an example of a free-response question released by the College Board: The following excerpt is from Linda Hogan’s novel People of the Whale, published in 2008. In this passage, the narrator describes two events in a community: an infant’s birth, shortly followed by an octopus’s walking out of the sea. Read the passage carefully. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze how the author uses literary elements and techniques to develop a complex characterization of the community. In your response, you should do the following:
- Respond to the prompt with a thesis that presents a defensible interpretation.
- Select and use evidence to support your line of reasoning.
- Explain how the evidence supports your line of reasoning.
- Use appropriate grammar and punctuation in communicating your argument.
- Literature and Composition? There are several ways to prepare for the multiple-choice questions, but the best way to practice is by taking a practice test online. Peterson’s prep course gives you access to two complete practice tests to help you ace your AP English Literature and Composition exam.
- If you are a traditional student, you can register for the AP English Literature and Composition exam through your school or another local participating school that offers AP classes. Your school will administer the test by collecting your fee of $94, ordering the test, and arranging a test-taking location and time. Talk to your teacher or contact the AP coordinator at your school. The College Board website explains fee reduction options if you have a significant financial need.
