The AP English Literature and Composition Exam employs multiple-choice questions that test the student’s critical reading of selected passages  . But the exam also requires writing as a direct measure of the student’s ability to read and interpret literature and to use other forms of discourse effectively . Although the skills tested in the exam remain essentially the same from year to year, each year’sexam is composed of new questions  . The free-response questions are scored by college and AP English teachers using standardized procedures  .  \nOrdinarily, the exam consists of 60 minutes for multiple-choice questions followed by 120 minutes for free-response questions  . Performance on the free-response section of the exam counts for 55 percent of the total score; performance on the multiple-choice section, 45 percent  . Examples of multiple-choice and free-response questions from previous exams are presented below and are intended to represent the scope and difficulty of the exam  . The questions are samples; they are not a sample exam  . In the questions reproduced here, the authors of the passages and poems on which the multiple-choice questions are based are George Eliot, Richard Wilbur, Gwendolyn Brooks and Samuel Taylor Coleridge  .  \nMultiple-choice scores are based on the number of questions answered correctly . Points are not deducted for incorrect answers, and no points are awarded for unanswered questions  . Because points are not deducted for incorrect answers, students are encouraged to answer all multiple-choice questions  . On any questions students do not know the answer to, students should eliminate as many choices as they can, and then select the best answer among the remaining choices  .  \nsample multiple-Choice Questions  \nQuestions 1–11. Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answers  . Certainly the religious and moral ideas of the  \nDodsons and Tullivers were of too specific a kind to  \nbe arrived at deductively from the statement that they Line were part of the Protestant population of Great Britain  .  \n(5) Their theory of life had its core of soundness, as all theories must have on which decent and prosperous families have been reared and have flourished; but it had the very slightest tincture of theology . If, in the maiden days of the Dodson sisters, their Bibles opened  \n(10) more easily at some parts than other, it was because of dried tulip-petals, which had been distributed quite impartially, without preference for the historical, devotional, or doctrinal  . Their religion was of a simple, semi-pagan kind, but there was no heresy in it—if  \n(15) heresy properly means choice—for they didn’t know  \n54 © 2010 The College Board.

How should they know? The vicar of their pleasant rural parish was not a controversialist, but a good  \n(20) hand at whist,1 and one who had a joke always ready for a blooming female parishioner . The religion of the Dodsons consisted in revering whatever was customary and respectable: it was necessary to be baptized, else one could not be buried in the churchyard, and to take  \n(25) the sacrament before death as a security against more dimly understood perils; but it was of equal necessity to have the proper pall-bearers and well-cured hamsat one’s funeral, and to leave an unimpeachable will  .
