What's inside

22 pages, page-by-page.

Section II is 50% of the AP exam score, and most students get to spring with maybe two practice attempts at each task. This pack fixes that. All four free-response tasks: the 15-minute email reply (Task 1), the 55-minute persuasive essay with three sources (Task 2), the five-prompt conversation simulation with 20-second recorded responses (Task 3), and the four-minute-prep two-minute-delivery cultural comparison (Task 4). Each task ships with: a framework page (the 5-vs-4 rule named explicitly), three newly-authored practice prompts at exam complexity, a model response transcribed from an actual 5-scoring student, and an AP-aligned scoring rubric with band descriptors. Plus a 16-week spring-semester study plan from late January through the May exam, a heritage register-shift drill for students whose oral fluency outpaces their academic-register writing, and from-the-scoring-room notes that name exactly what separates a 3 from a 4 from a 5 on each task. The pack treats Tasks 1 and 2 separately (they share the writing rubric but the cognitive load is different) and gives equal weight to Tasks 3 and 4 (most teachers under-prep these because they require recording infrastructure). Polished 22-page PDF plus editable Word + Slides scaffolds.
