hi!! i’m a current high school sophomore and am wondering a couple things from you guys! so I have always been in honors english and am planning on taking AP Lit next year (my school may do AP lit and lang in a different order than yours). i dont really like english so i was wondering if it was worth it to take both ap lit and lang (senior year)? ive heard from people that colleges dont except both so i shouldnt take it. what do you guys think??
Part of it depends on what other options you have. If the options are AP vs. honors English, then from a rigor perspective,AP may make more sense. If you have elective options like Modern Drama or Irish Literature, then AP might not be so critical.
The usual order, which does not apply in your case, of AP Lang in 11th and AP Lit in 12th has the benefit of AP Lang being very intensive in essay writing which is helpful for writing college admissions essays.
You are correct that many colleges do not give credit for both. But many do. And unless your top choice college is a safety, AP credit policies should not dictate your course selection.
