Students missed numbers 4, 7, 9, 13, 21, 24, and 54. This is an assumption f their story...
The reason why students missed number 4 is because the diction used and the phrase were complicated to d3c!ph3r (decipher). The reason that people missed number 7 is because the answer choices were mostly similar to each other. For example, A, B, and D could possibly have been used interchangeably, where A is vague, B is slightly more specific, and D serves only to answer the rhetorical function of the passage, though not the question itself. C was the opposite of A and B, and E was kind of random. The reason I got it wrong is because I forgot that the question was asking about the line now Oxford. and the street. This question also has answer choices that are really similar to each other. For number 13, either B, C, or D, could have been answers because of how similar they were where D sums up B and C in a broader aspect. In this way, this is also like the last 2 questions. That and I just didn't understand how it was funny.The reason that a lot of students got number 21 incorrect is because we haven't had questions about the grammatical function of anything for a while, if at all. For number 24, I believe the word idiosyncratic took us for a spin and confused us. There are two reasons that a lot of people got number 54 wrong. The first is that though it looks similar to an SAT styled question, the vocabulary was "interesting," as in they answer choices could have been used interchangeably. A prime example of this are answer choices A and E whose first words say the same thing pretty much, but the second words are opposites. The second reason is that students might have randomly answered when pressed for time.
My goals are to refine my essay writing. I wish to practice on special strategies to increase my efficiency in writing the AP prompts. I plan to do this by following the following strategy.

My goals are to refine my essay writing. I wish to practice on special strategies to increase my efficiency in writing the AP prompts. I plan to do this by following the following strategy.
- Indentifying literary devices
- Clumping and picking specific ones that I can write about
- Asking myself why the author incorporated these literary devices and what effect it has on the piece
- Making an outline of what to write for each paragraph
- and then writing an awesome essay.
These are my goals.
P.S. Mr. Beddingfield, my statistical strategy did work. I had gotten 2/9 questions that I guessed on correct XP
