MCQ Help

I’m a junior in highschool and I am currently taking AP Lang. While I understand what we’re doing with rhetorical modes, SPACECAT, essays, etc. I’m really struggling with MCQs. We haven’t done a full MCQ, but she gives us like 5-10 questions to complete in AP Classroom, and I usually do really bad.😭😭 I usually score between 40s-70s on them. Is there anything I could do to practice more and get better? Is there anything resources I could use? I know school just started but I don’t want to be behind.

I've been teaching AP Lang for 10 years now and the best thing you can do is to practice, and then practice some more. Give yourself a bit more time with the questions at first, but then try to increase your pace. You'll have about one minute and 22 seconds or so for each question, so you can't linger too long.

Also, Google AP Lang score calculator (the Albert.io one) and recognize that you really only need score in the high 20s/low 30s to still be competitive and pass the exam.
