Hello, so I completed three of the official CollegeBoard practice exams and got a mid-4 to high-4 on all of them. However, I also did the FRQs from the exams from the last 3 or so years and found them to be way easier and did way better on them, basically getting a 5 on them. Was the actual ap exam easier than the practice exams?
I consistently get low 40s/55 on the AP Lit MCQ (which I know isn't terrible, but I still want to improve), and extra practice with the same answering strategies hasn't helped so far. I also don't want to rely on the test's difficulty and luck to do well, which is what I've been doing to get some higher scores. What are some thinking strategies I can use to improve my score? I've also noticed most of my errors come with old poems/questions that ask about tone.
