This guy is probably walking into an AP Practice Exam. You should too.

As you all know, I’ll be holding the Fourth Annual Iowa City AP Language and Composition Practice Exam (ICAPLCPE) on the University of Iowa campus a week from tomorrow. That is, Saturday, May 3, at 8:00 AM. It will be at the Iowa Memorial Union, which is the university’s main building for hosting conferences, concerts, and other events. How do you get there? Here you go.

The value of going through a full practice exam, in my view, is that you’ll walk into the actual exam knowing what it feels like to answer 65 or so multiple choice questions, and write three essays, all in one sitting. Well, two sittings. There’s a little break. But you get the idea.

Try hard not to be late. Give yourself plenty of time to get there, in case you take a wrong turn at Albuquerque. Drive carefully. Bring a couple of pencils. Bring a bottle of water. We’ll take the first fifteen minutes to get settled, go over the rules, that sort of thing.
