For context, AP Lang is a prerequisite course in my school, and the teacher that I had didn’t do an incredible job teaching for the exam (I was also taking AP Research along with this course). I am still unsure on how to write the Rhetorical Analysis and Argumentative essay, and my reading comprehension for the MCQ can definitely improve. What can I do to improve these skills before the test on Wednesday? I am honestly not even trying for a 5, I am just trying to get a 4 for college credit (since I have been swarmed by AP Research, APUSH, and a lot of other work all year).

My teacher decided to do the AI check the last day that we have to submit the paper, and he showed me that my paper came back as 35% AI. Most of the sections that were flagged used transitions such as therefore, furthermore, or yet, which I find ridiculous because you can’t flag something as AI if it is common in research papers. The other sections that came back AI are where I said the percentages that I found in my correlational studies. I am kind of stressing about this since my teacher said I should have less than 20%, but I have the data/research that I have done all year along with the sources that I used in my Literature Review (around 17 sources). I just feel that this turnitin site is a way to penalize the students who actually put in the work of researching and used well-structured writing.
