AP English Language Sprint

Make every paragraph earn its point.

AP Lang rewards students who can read the situation, choose the strongest evidence, explain how the writer's choices work, and build a defensible argument under time pressure. This sprint turns reading, rhetoric, and writing into visible scoring moves.

How this course works

Start here, score what happened, then let the result choose the next unit or parent update.

  1. Run a short passage set that mixes reading, writing, rhetoric, and organization.
  2. Score the missing move: claim, evidence, commentary, line of reasoning, rhetorical situation, or style.
  3. Save the update so the parent sees the writing skill that actually changed.
