Are there people that have taken the test on these forums that intentionally didn't study for the AWA portion of the test? If so how did you do with them? After reading about the essay portion of the test, it seems as if the scoring is exactly the same for AP English and History exam scoring, so I don't think its really necessary to waste any valuable study time preparing for it. I guess my question is are the graders difficult? Is there something with this section of the test that I'm missing?
