Diagnostic Test Reflection
My first crack at Peterson's AP English test can easily be summed up in two words: epic failure. What really tripped me up was the fact that about half of the questions were about poetry. The problem with that? I hate poetry, avoid it whenever I can, and can't make sense of it to save my life. I've always thought poetry is rather pointless, too, so it frustrates me that there would be such a strong emphasis on it on the test. Besides that, the rest of the questions were fairly easy and straight-forward. Clearly poetry (as usual) is going to be the hardest thing for me this coming year.

Well, half the test is gonna be poetry =) We'll be hitting is hard this year, for sure. And I really hope I can convince you that it's not a waste of your time--that you're not just studying it for one test, but that learning about it in some depth causes you to appreciate it enough to make at least a tiny home for it in your reading heart. =)
