(tip: no answer choice on the ap exam is &#8220;almost&#8221; right\u2014there&#8217;s only one correct answer, as you&#8217;ll see if you take our ap literature quiz above!)<\/p>\n<p>if <a href=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/college-admissions\/ap-english-literature-exam\/\">timing is an issue for you<\/a>, practicing with official materials will also help\u2014but there&#8217;s another hack. in the last ten minutes of the multiple-choice section, skim through your unanswered questions and eliminate all choices you know are wrong. then, take your best guess on the remaining choices. going from five answer choices to four ups your odds of getting the right choice from 20% to 25%. eliminate one more, and you&#8217;re up to a 33% chance of answering correctly. one more and it&#8217;s 50%! if you find yourself in a situation where you have to blindly guess on multiple items, choose the same answer choice and plug it in for all of the remaining questions\u2014you&#8217;re more likely to get at least a few points than if you chose random letters.<\/p>\n<h2>ap english literature and composition practice test<\/h2>\n<p>of course, randomly guessing shouldn&#8217;t be your main strategy for on the ap test! that&#8217;s why, once you&#8217;ve taken the ap literature quiz, it&#8217;s important to keep going with a full-length <a href= https:\/\/apstudent.collegeboard.org\/apcourse\/ap-english-literature-and-composition\/exam-practice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ap english literature and composition practice test<\/a> (official materials are a great place to start). <\/p>\n<p>many students take practice ap exams, but far fewer know how to use them to their advantage. to maximize how useful this test prep is, plan to spend at least as much time studying your finished exam and your answers as you did taking the test. review the questions you got wrong. label what they were testing: vocabulary? literary devices? rhetorical devices? keep a running list of your problem areas and <a href=\" http:\/\/thomasuwwritinglab.net\/second-semester---literatur\/classroom-documents\/ap_journals-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brush up on them<\/a> between practice exams. review your correct answers, as well. did you get them correct by guessing? should you still go back and review that material? were you unsure about anything? thorough review will help you master the test!<\/p>\n<h2>studying for ap literature: ap literature quiz answers and explanations<\/h2>\n<p>speaking of reviewing your work\u2026are you ready to take a look at the answers and explanations to the ap literature quiz at the top of this post? here they are!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> <strong>q: \u201cfancy footwork\u201d, \u201cjumping jehosaphat\u201d, and \u201cweeping willow\u201d all make use of which literary device?<\/strong><br \/>\na: alliteration.<br \/>\nalliteration is the use of multiple words beginning with the same letter: in these cases, f, j, and w.<\/li>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li><strong>q: which of the following is an accurate definition of an oxymoron?<\/strong><br \/>\na: the coupling of contradictory terms, as in \u201cspeedy slug.\u201d<br \/>\nan oxymoron is a phrase that seems like it couldn&#8217;t be true, based on the definitions of one of the words. in this example, a slug is by nature slow, so it makes the reader think twice to consider a &#8220;speedy&#8221; slug.<\/li>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li><strong>q: \u201cthe mountain roared at the valley below\u201d, \u201cthe star winked playfully\u201d, and \u201cthe cloud heaved its mighty chest\u201d are all examples of which literary device?<\/strong><br \/>\na: personification<br \/>\nany time the ap exam asks you if something is an example of personification, ask yourself two questions: can this thing actually, literally perform that action? does a human being normally do that? mountains can&#8217;t literally roar, but humans can. stars can&#8217;t literally wink, but humans can. clouds can&#8217;t heave their chests\u2026you get the idea!<\/li>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li><strong>q: some protagonists, such as hamlet, have a characteristic that will ultimately bring about their downfall. also known as hamartia, what is the name of this term?<\/strong><br \/>\na: tragic flaw<br \/>\npoor doomed protagonists. when a character has tendencies to do something that harms them in the story&#8217;s climax, that&#8217;s a tragic flaw (aka hamartia). tragic, no?<\/li>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li><strong>q: exposition, rising action, climax, and resolution are the four elements of what?<\/strong><br \/>\na: plot<br \/>\nplot is the narrative structure of a story, and we divide it into these four parts. exposition sets the stage for the story; rising action shows us how the characters get from the mental, emotional, and\/or physical place they are at the beginning of the story to the story&#8217;s most important moment; the climax <em>is<\/em> that most important moment; and resolution (whether happy or sad) is what happens after that big moment.<\/li>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li><strong>q: a clich\u00e9 is most similar to which of the following?<\/strong><br \/>\na: dead metaphor<br \/>\nactions speak louder than words. love is blind. a bird in the hand\u2026are you asleep yet? there are some phrases that have become so overused that they no longer make us think hard. these are known as clich\u00e9s, which are pretty similar to dead metaphors (think: &#8220;window of opportunity&#8221; and similar figurative phrases).<\/li>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li><strong>q: what do we call a speech delivered by a character to the audience while no other characters are present?<\/strong><br \/>\na: soliloquy<br \/>\nhamlet to the rescue once more! perhaps the most famous giver of soliloquies, hamlet speaks to the audience while he&#8217;s all alone. if you have trouble remembering this, think of it as his &#8220;solo.&#8221;<\/li>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li><strong>q: \u201ctruth is beauty, beauty truth\u201d is an example of<\/strong><br \/>\na: chiasmus<br \/>\na chiasmus is the reversal of structure in back-to-back clauses for artistic effect. here, truth and beauty swap places between the first and second clauses, making this a classic chiasmus.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>a final word<\/h2>\n<p>assonance.<\/p>\n<p>sorry about that (literature joke!). congratulations on making it through the ap literature quiz and study advice guide. ready for next steps? dive into your practice tests, start making your flashcards, work on mastering your multiple-choice questions, and you&#8217;ll be golden by test day (start here: there&#8217;s
