AP English Language and Composition Premium, 2025: Prep Book with 8 Practice Tests + Comprehensive Review + Online Practice (Barron's AP Prep) Premium Edition

Good

my daughter loves and hates this book, you know

This 2025 version claims to have adapted the content/practice exams to the updated 4 choice format. However, once this product arrived, I immediately noticed the content and practice exams were the same (in the 5 choice format) as the 2021--2022 book. I am returning this item, as it does not reflect the new testing/exam format.

It is great book to prepare for SAP!

I had hoped to get some AP practice exams that were updated to reflect the new multiple choice that has four answers instead of five, but no such luck. Old question styles with a new cover saying 2025.

Not acceptable to write "2025" on the cover but use the 2024 and earlier version of 5 answer choices which is now outdated. Even the FRQs (essay prompts) are not close to what is generally used on the test -- very short passages for the rhetorical analysis and very old sources (1 from the 1600s and 2 or 3 from the 1800s) for both the rhetorical analysis and argumentative prompts.

Disappointed with the composition MCQ passages in this book. They're very unlike AP passages, prioritizing subjective, subtle distinctions of phrasing over actual changes in meaning among different versions of sentences.

MCQs of AP English & Compositin Exam will have only four answer choices beginning in May, 2025. This book is still stuck with 5 choices. This book should not be labelled as the 2025 version.
