Why it's hard
AP Lang's three essays are scored on a 6-point rubric, and the gap between a 3 and a 6 is almost entirely about specificity and complexity — not effort. Students who write fluent but generic essays cap at 4.
How Fennie helps
Fennie analyzes your essays paragraph by paragraph against the 6-point rubric and tells you which specific rhetorical move would push your score up, instead of giving vague 'be more analytical' feedback.

Sample only — your real Fennie plan adapts daily based on what you got wrong, what you ignored, and how close you are to test day.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Lang and Lit?
Lang focuses on rhetoric and nonfiction (argument, analysis, synthesis). Lit focuses on fiction and poetry. Most students find Lang the more 'transferable' exam.
How does Fennie grade essays?
Fennie scores against the official 6-point rubric (thesis, evidence/commentary, sophistication) and points to specific sentences where the rubric move is or isn't present.
Can I prepare for Lang in a few weeks?
The MCQ improves quickly with practice. The essay score plateaus without sustained feedback over several months — start earlier.
