My Areas of Weakness as an AP Lit Student

• Sometimes I don't completely catch on to the real meaning of poems and only understand what's on the surface.
• When we read "Hidden Meanings" I understood everything well after we realized the real meaning of the poem, but I'm not sure that I would have come across that on my own. 
• I need to work on using more direct and precise language in my writing. 
• My Poetry analysis essay wasn't precise enough.
• I don't think my annotations are really thorough enough so I need to work on that.
• I'm kind of a slow reader, which isn't so good for the AP exam.
• I need to work on test-taking skills for the AP test.
• I didn't do fantastic on the practice test we did. 
• My vocabulary is pretty weak so I need to work on learning more vocab and literary terms.
