Strategy tips

Read the question carefully before looking at the choices. Many AP Lit questions have answers that look almost identical; small wording differences matter.

Eliminate before guessing. AP Lit distractors often include true-sounding statements that don't actually answer the question being asked. Cross out anything irrelevant first.

Never confuse the narrator with the author. This distinction shows up constantly in Unit 1: and across the whole exam.

Read the explanations even when you got it right. Each one teaches a small fact that often returns in a different form on the exam.
