"In light of the fact that the AP English Language Examination is comprised entirely of nonfiction, the new 7th Edition AP English Language book has retained its popular six examination format. The completely new sample exams, totaling over three hundred challenging multiple-choice questions, are accompanied by equally challenging free-response prompts that address the three disparate language tasks: the essay analysis, the response to a citation, and the synthesis essay. Featuring two fully-explicated practice exams (with sample papers, rubrics and assessments), the edition has an additional four sample exams that challenge students with an interesting variety of nonfiction, including classic and contemporary essays, speeches and sermons, letters and travelogues, and even literary criticism. Among the over forty authors represented are Wright, Didion, Morley, Brokaw, Lamb, Emerson and Mencken."
