Advice for AP Literautre course?

Hey! I’m going to be taking AP Lit this upcoming school year, my senior year! Now I’m abbot worried because I did not take AP English since I wasn’t recommended and didn’t mind really.

In fact with just regular English I excelled very well with 90+ averages. (The work really wasn’t that demanding) So now that I’m shifting to this I know for a fact my average will drop a bit which is kinda bad.

So my concerns are

  1. is taking AP lit worth possibly lowering my average, since colleges will look at it as me challenging myself

  2. any other advice with this course to better prepare myself
