Waiting for remaining students to be picked up after our first Saturday AP Lang mock exam

LitLogophile Oy I remember these Saturday AP practice exams 😂 7y

catsuit_mango I've bought the same tote bag during a book spree in Cardiff (like anytime I visit an English speaking country books are my drug :)) 7y

GlassAsDiamonds @catsuit_mango me too!! 😊😊😊😊 (and luggage limits are the bane of my life!). 7y

catsuit_mango @GlassAsDiamonds i always pack light on the way in... Or I bring an old pair of running shoes that I'll toss to make room for books after i have my run in another country done :) 7y

GlassAsDiamonds Love it! I‘m on a trip at the moment and currently eyeing off my (NEW AND MUST NOT BE ABANDONED) sneakers.... their days may be numbered 😂😂😂😂😂 7y

Administering a practice test to my students. Coffee is key!

Joybishoptx Ah 5 steps to a 5....and practice AP tests. Good times. ❤ 8y

MyNamesParadise The highest score I ever got on an AP test was 3. I hate standardized tests. Have the worse text Anxiety and I guess my undiagnosed add at the time didn't help 😜😜 8y

katedensen AP English is one of my favorite things to tutor! ❤ 8y

Reviewsbylola If I were a teacher, test days would be my favorite. 😂 And getting Starbucks every morning is what gets me through the first hour or two of my day. 😂😂 8y

drbethandherkindle Personally, I find coffee to be the key to everything I want to accomplish-mainly through energy and bribery 8y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Oh my. AP English exam. I remember writing a glib essay on "Waiting for Godot." ? 8y

Early Saturday morning at school, giving my #APLang students their second practice exams. All 16 kids arrived on time, bleary-eyed and sweatpant-clad. 👍🏼🤓 #PumpkinSpicePower

Ellsbeth I used to do this when I taught AP US History. I hope you have a productive morning and your students learn a lot from the mock test! 8y

Leniverse What does the AP stand for? American something? 8y

saresmoore Genuinely, this represents some of my fondest high school memories! (I was the girl in the back, pretending to be bleary eyed behind geeky glasses with three no.2 pencils in a row on my desk. 🤓) 8y

Bookgirl @Leniverse advanced placement. Helps kids get into college or possibly even gives some college credit 8y

heikemarie @Leniverse @Bookgirl Thanks to AP I did not have to take any math or science courses in college, and I was able to double major and double minor and still graduate on time with all the English and Spanish credits I brought in. AP was a lifesaver! 8y

JSW To this day I still count my perfect AP Lit score as one of proudest achievements. #brag I had an amazing teacher and class. 8y

nadine_swartz That's done dedication! Good luck to all of you! 8y

Scurvygirl Ugh.. my daughter just took her second Pre-SAT but she has all her AP ones coming up in history and english. She'll be in AP sciences next year in prep for animal sciences. She wants to be a vet. English is killing her or more accurately the teacher isn't prepared. 8y

Spiderfelt Second practice exam? Wow. My daughter's AP LA class hasn't had a single practice, nor have I heard of any upcoming exams. You're a great teacher to give the students so much advance planning. 8y

Leniverse @Bookgirl @inwhichHeikereadsharder Thanks. School systems around the world are so different from each other! 8y

Leslie Barbara Murphy was my AP workshop teacher. Made me love teaching AP 8y

Leslie Spiderfelt--don't worry, many ways to skin the AP cat. I teach 4 different courses-lots of time to get practice in 8y

BookishMarginalia @leslie Barbara Murphy was my teacher too! I'm a better teacher because of what she taught me. 8y

BookishMarginalia @Spiderfelt My school has a tradition of spacing the practice tests out during the year and the students are accustomed to coming in Saturday mornings to take them. In my previous school I would have had a revolt had I attempted to do this! 8y

A first in 7 years of giving practice tests: there are 40 minutes left in the writing section (40 minutes is the time EACH of the three essays should take to write) and all students have "finished." I'm making them sit there until time runs out. Methinks it's going to be a looooong year ?

Shortstack Best of luck! 😬 8y

BethFishReads ☹️ 8y

katedensen 😳 Smartasses. 8y

katedensen Also, you teach AP English? Fun! Let's be friends--I work in test prep ☺️ 8y

GinaAnderson I am currently sitting at the library while my son get tutored for his 8th grade high school entrance exams. He once bragged that he was the first one to finish his test and then slept for the rest of the allotted time. And so we find ourselves here. 8y

hwheaties Oh man. I just left a position where I taught AP Lit and Lang. Back to teaching IB. Best of luck to you this year! 8y

LectricSheep @katedfisher I also work in test prep! I'm a tutor. :) Finishing too early is never a good sign... 8y

katedensen @GinaAnderson Which test is he taking? @LectricSheep Me too! I just left the company I was with after 8 years, but I was lucky to have a full-time position there doing content and curriculum development ☺️ 8y

GinaAnderson @katedfisher He'll take the Chicago Public Schools MAP test and the Catholic High School Entrance Exam. I really don't want to have to deal with CPS so hoping he'll get into the same school his brother currently attends. 8y

kspenmoll I co- teach 9th grade English with a teacher who also teaches AP English & Composition so hear her prep/ stories etc. Nothing but admiration for AP English teachers! 8y

DivineDiana @BookishMarginalia Good for you! 8y
