Studying for AP

I chose to start my AP study process with one of the practice tests on the Exam Practice and Reference page. I started the practice exam by reading a passage then answering about 15 questions on it. Despite the questions being in depth and difficult, I did pretty well. I only chose three of the wrong answers on that section. Next I read a poem and answered about ten questions in response to the poem. I felt more confident with my knowledge of this poem than I had with the previous passage. Ironically I did worse on this section, scoring only a 5 out of the 10 questions.
