  There are two sections: multiple choice(45%) and free response(55%). You get one hour to answer the multiple choice and 2 hrs 15 min to write 3 essays (15 min is just for reading the documents). See more format details at the site below. As far as preparation, grammatical terms are good to know, but they're not a major part of the test. Unfortunately, reading comprehension is a long-term development, not something you can cram this close to the test. However, you can save yourself with your essays. I recommend using Jolliffe's Rhetorical Framework Diagram to analyze and make your own arguments. It looks something like this... Exigence | Audience | Purpose | Ethos, Logos, Pathos | Organization/Structure | Diction, Syntax, Imagery, Figurative Language AP graders LOVE to see these words when you're analyzing another authors work and they like to see these sort of things when you make an argument of your own. I understand you concern about the subjectivity of grading the essays, but graders are given a very clear rubric. It is somewhat comforting to know that more than one person will grade your essays and must come to an agreement. Best of luck on Wednesday :)
