Do you need to do a little last minute reviewing for the test on Thursday?
Here are some interesting, and possible helpful, resources to check out:
General Test Practice and Review:
Some links to College Board (and other) resources-- http://ap.testfrenzy.com/englishlit.html
Another AP Lit teacher's website with many helpful files-- http://classroom.quixoticpedagogue.org/ap-english-iv/lit-test-prep
Glossary of Literary Terms:
This covers the basics nicely for a quick review, without being too overwhelming.

Multiple Choice:
Here is a quick 20 question multiple choice practice test, offered by Shmoop.com: http://www.shmoop.com/ap-english-literature/practice-quiz.html
This is a College Board article on Multiple Choice Strategies . (Please note that this article does not reflect the fact that the College Board changed scoring procedures this year. As of this year you no longer lose 1/4 point for incorrect answers. This means that guessing can only help and not hurt your score.)
Essay Questions:
Essay #3 on the test asks you to write about a novel, play or epic that you have studied. Reviewing some of the novels and plays we've read will help you be prepared to support your ideas with specific details. I think the Shmoop guides are the best and most student-friendly, so here are some links for your perusal:
Beowulf
Brave New World
Candide
The Catcher in the Rye
Hamlet
Oedipus Rex
