How can I do better in AP US history tests?

I need help with English AP and World History AP tests. Somebody please answer my question!?

• Okay so I'm taking the AP English Language and AP World History Test. My main questions are for the AP English Language test. Okay first, the english test asks you to write an argumentive essay, but I haven't learned how to write an arguementive essay because this english test is the test that the 11th grade students usually take since they learn about argumentive, analytical, and synthesis essays in the class. The 11th grade English 3 teacher is getting mad at my 10th grade English 2 teacher for reccomending many of her sophomore students( like me) to take the AP english test. She says that all of the sophomore students are going to fail and it's going to look bad on her. Well I want to prove her wrong and make at least a 3 on the test. I'm pretty good at english anyways but my main concern is that I will fail the test because I don't know how to write an argumentive essay or analytical essay. I went onto about.com and wikihow and how been looking extensively on how to write an argumentive essay, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of how to do it. I just need some more enforcement. I am good but not the best at writing essay's, although I have never written an argumentive essa( I don't think I have ever written one)but I have written many essays and learned how to write a proper intro, thesis, body and concluding paragraphs and have practiced documented based essays in my World History Pre-AP class. Although these types of essays aren't on the test, I think it has helped my essay writing skills greatly. So some more of my questions for the English AP test are... -What are some of the questions they ask you? -How many essays do you have to write for the test? questions for World History Test... -What are some questions they asked you? -How many essays do they have? and feel free to give me more info on these tests, I really need it. also does anyone know any good test prep sites (for free) cause I haven't found a good one for the english AP test and the websites my teacher gave me for the world history test aren't that good.
