Want to Ace AP English Lit? Get a Handle on Similes Now

It's one thing to learn a list of tricky words. It's another to understand how those words work out in the world, where the writers you're reading as you prepare for the AP lit exam are bending and stretching them like so much dough.

We have a list to help: Use "Similes from Top AP English Exam Novels" (our List of the Week!) to master a nice, bite-size chunk of AP Lit vocab while also cementing your understanding of the simile, that favorite authorial maneuver. Then check out more AP English Lit lists: Alliteration from the Top AP English Exam Literature and Metaphors from Top AP English Exam Literature.
