自1971年來所有的 AP Lit 小說數據

我們整理了這個 Google 表單，裡面標註自1971年來所有在 AP Literature 中出現的小說：

學生可以自行在表單中排序看你想要的資訊，包含：

• 排序 Title A-Z，看有哪些書出現在歷年考題中
• 排序 Total Z-A，看歷年考題中最常出現的書有哪些
• 排序 Past 10 或 Past 5 Z-A，看過去 5-10 年的考題中最常出現的書有哪些
• 排序任何一個年份 Z-A，看該年的考題中出現了哪些書

---

有了這些數據，然後呢？這些清單可以怎樣幫我？

1. 透過清單知道過去幾年考了哪些書，多熟悉那幾本書

從這個歷年書籍總整理可以看出一個趨勢，就是相同的書常常會出現下一年的 AP 考試又出現，所以在 2015-2019 年的書，你尤其要熟悉。

2. 透過清單知道有哪些書最常出現，多熟悉那幾本書

從這個歷年書籍總整理也可以看出有幾本書跟幾位作者常常會出現在 AP 考試中。Invisible Man, Wuthering Heights, 跟 Great Expectations，以及 William ShakeSpeare, Charles Dickens, Henrik Ibsen, Henry James, 和 Margaret Atwood 的小說，你一定要熟悉。

3. 如果這些高頻清單中出現了你不會的書，快利用考試前的有限時間趕快讀它們。

AP 文學涵蓋的書籍非常廣，如果這些清單中出現了不少你不熟悉的書也是正常的。在考試前，希望你有時間能讀這些書並作筆記，如果沒空讀整本書也可以讀 Spark Notes 裡面的大意跟解析，讓你不至於對這些書完全不了解。

4. 考前做官方或第三方的 AP 文學模考，了解這些小說會用什麼形式出現在考試中。

如果你是 Ivy-Way 的 AP Literature 學生，你可以從老師手中拿到歷年考題，如果你不是，你也可以跟你學校的 AP Literature 老師詢問有沒有歷年考題可以讓你練習，從中你就可以知道考試的出題方式，以及你是否有辦法回答關於這些小說的題目。

5. 如果你還是覺得考試很難，要儘早尋求幫助！

希望你不是在考試前一兩個禮拜你才發現這個考試的難度超過你能負荷的！透過平時的練習，如果你發現 AP Literature 有點困難了，你要儘早尋求幫助，這個幫助可以來自你學校的 AP Literature 老師額外的課後輔導，可以透過你跟同學組 study group 一起練習，如果你要有系統地準備考試，你也可以透過 Ivy-Way 的 AP Literature 老師的線上輔導，讓你有足夠時間準備，戰勝這個考試。如果你需要我們帶領你一起準備，你只要在我們的網站上填一份報名表就可以了！
