I went into the AP exam super sick. My head was throbbing the entire time and I could not stop sweating. And the passage from the 18th century did not help my headache. That to me was the hardest passage on the test. While reading it, I thought I understood it pretty well, but then the actual questions about the passage were very difficult. The rest of the multiple choice was pretty fair in my opinion, but I only had a few minutes to actually check my answers.
For the essay section, I felt pretty confident in my first and third essay. The first essay about libraries I talked about how we should preserve them, but this is coming from someone who hasn't stepped foot in a library in centuries. The rhetorical analysis essay was much harder than the practices I did. Maybe it was cause I was in a high pressure environment, or maybe cause it was just hard. I struggled to find rhetorical devices, but I ended up getting three and explaining them with evidence. I prepared for the test the best I could, I'm just really hoping for a 3.
I one hundred percent agree with you about the 18th century passage. I spent so much time on it and barely finished the rest of the multiple choice. The essays I feel the same. The rhetorical analysis was difficult because the devices were not prominent, but the first and third essay were better.
