1.0 out of 5 stars Horrific, May 7, 2005
By S. Chessare (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
Its preparation could not be farther from the actual test. They concentrate on informing you of absolutely everything about everything that could ever conceivably pop up on an English Language exam, while not focusing on what actually appears on the test. Kaplan lead me to believe, through their obsession--yes obsession is the term--with rhetorical devices that the knowledge of them was what the test (in multiple choice and essay) primarily tested. In reality, in this year's AP exam most of the MC questions were standard reading comprehension and only one of three essays even vaguely dealt with rhetorical devices. In short, the book gets an F and was a waste of my time. Anyone who's taken 3-years of quality highschool English can easily get a 5 on this exam without Kaplan and their mis-guidance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Becoming Better Analytical Thinkers, August 20, 2005
By E. J. Sawyer (California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Every year, I order enough books at my discounted price for the AP Language and Composition students I teach. The Apex Learning Guide works well, with one exception. There are not enough examples of Rhetorical Device Use based on usual high school level fiction/non-fiction, so the students don't learn as much as they could.
The practice tests work well, and during second semester, the book becomes a supplement to the AP Apex online testing and supplemental lessons that help the students tremendously.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good review, guarantee at least a 3, April 28, 2005
A Kid's Review
As a 17 year old preparing for this exam, I found this book very helpful. It's loaded with rhetorical devices and many passages with detailed analysis that will help with the essay. Also has many writing prompts and different types of passages. HOWEVER, one major thing this book lacks is the multiple choice section of the exam. It merely has a superficial intro and 1 practice problem; there aren't many practice problems for the multiple choice problem, which is annoying because that's what my main weakness is. So if you're having trouble in the essay section of the test, I recommend you buy this book, however, if it's the multiple choice section, this is book will be of little service to you.
