I thought your teaching to the test was very effective. You taught to the test, yes, and prepared us all very well, but you didn't overdo it, which I believe is the important part. If everyday we came in and were doing a practice test or a timed writing your class would have been dreaded and people would stop trying and caring how they do. The multiple choice practice tests were a chance to really work and see how you have improved considering they were only given out once every 3 weeks or so. It was also good to get the exposure to all the different essays multiple times.
The one thing I think might have been more helpful is if we had gone over the multiple choice questions. I know it's tedious and you asked if we had questions, but most students just chose not to speak up or ask questions. I think going through question by question would help students understand and become even more familiar with the test.
Overall you teach a very effective class! This was definitely the AP test I felt most prepared for. Your class is by far my favorite class because it's a perfect mix of workload but also other things besides just the test and besides English. You're by far one of the best English teachers I've ever had. Thank you for being YOU and keep doing you, Log Dog! Ily in a teacher student appropriate way, of course.
