A MATTER OF TIME
You may have heard the saying, “What’s worth doing, is worth doing well.” This is also true for your
preparation for the AP Lit exam—it’s worth doing well! It will be very difficult for you to literally cram
all you need to know in a short period of time. The information and tips you get in this book will help you
to focus and prepare for your exam. However, it is best if you start early enough to really learn what you
need to know. Except for some literary terms, there is little in this text that you can actually memorize.
Instead, you need to develop your reading, writing, and thinking skills.
