Sometimes students do better on their AP Exams if they feel more comfortable with the test. One way of becoming comfortable is to know the works discussed on the test. The following list is of the most frequently cited works (novels, poems, etc.) on the AP test.
20 Invisible Man
17 Wuthering Heights
14 Great Expectations, Moby Dick
13 Crime And Punishment, Jane Eyre
12 King Lear, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Heart of Darkness
11 The Scarlet Letter, The Great Gatsby
10 The Awakening, Billy Budd, Catch-22, Light in August
9 Ceremony, Portrait of the Artist
8 As I Lay Dying, Candide, Othello, Their Eyes Were Watching God
*The number is the number of times cited.
And if the motivation of an AP test weren't enough, these books are great works of literature (my personal favorite is Catch-22) and fun (opinion!) to read. Besides, can People Magazine really educate you on the values of the twenties like The Great Gatsby can?
I think not.
