AP English Language: you cannot use a move you cannot name

Paste your terms into the box above and they come back as prompts. WeSolve+ is best for an AP English Language student who can feel that a passage is doing something clever and cannot say what. This course rewards naming: anaphora, concession, ethos, juxtaposition.

Analysis without the vocabulary reads as summary, and summary scores badly, so the terminology is not decoration here, it is the instrument.

WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you

Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.

The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.

Turn your rhetoric notes into cards

This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it. Try the real app now, free!

Text rules, not AI. Lines with a colon become two sided cards; other lines lose their longest word. Nothing you paste leaves the browser. Copy gives tab separated rows for Anki.

Naming is the difference between analysis and summary

A student who writes that the author repeats a phrase for effect has described. A student who writes that the anaphora builds an accumulating pressure has analysed. The gap between those two sentences is one word, and that word has to be available instantly while you are also reading, planning and watching a clock. Terms you half know are terms you will not risk using, so the practical effect of shaky vocabulary is that your essays quietly get vaguer.

Why this page uses unit numbers and not unit names

For most AP courses the College Board publishes named units, and our other pages use those names. For this course it publishes numbered units without titles, so this page says Unit 1 through Unit 9 rather than inventing labels that would look authoritative and be ours. That is a small thing, but a study page that invents an official sounding name is doing exactly what we ask you not to trust elsewhere on the internet.

Your own annotated passages are the material

The passages your class actually worked through carry the moves your teacher pointed at and your own margin notes about what was happening. Upload the annotated page and the app builds questions from it: what the shift in tone accomplished, what the concession bought the writer, which appeal is doing the work in a paragraph. Those questions cannot be bought, because that annotation was yours.

Retrieval works on vocabulary faster than anything else

Roediger and Karpicke, 2006, compared testing against rereading and found the testing group clearly ahead a week later, while reporting that rereading had felt more productive. Terminology is the easiest place to see this. Reading a glossary feels efficient and produces recognition; being asked for the term produces the thing you need at the moment of writing. The box at the top does the second, from your own glossary rather than a generic one.

Where the exam format lives

No question counts, timings or essay weightings appear on this page. The College Board publishes that and alters it over time; the sources underneath go to its own pages. Students planning how many minutes to give the synthesis essay are exactly the readers a stale number would damage.

Practical shape of a week

The box above wants nothing: no install, no account, no limit, because it makes no network request. An annotated passage is read by the app at wesolveapp.com, or in the store app for iPhone and iPad. Starting is free. Two quizzes and two uploads fit in a day, two recaps in a week, two duels in a day, and a single file may produce any number of cards. On Android you use the site.

Can it quiz me on rhetorical terms?

That is its strongest use here. A glossary line written as term then definition becomes a two sided card immediately, and any other line becomes a fill in the blank.

Why does this page not name the units?

Because the College Board does not publish titles for this course, only numbered units. Inventing names would make our label look official when it is not.

Will it grade my essays?

No. It does not mark written work. It builds the recall that essay planning rests on.

Can it use passages we annotated in class?

Yes, as a PDF, a photograph or a camera shot, and the questions then follow your annotations rather than a published edition.

Does the box at the top cost anything?

No, and it needs no account, because it never contacts a server.
