<p>Is this Class a work load? Is there a lot of homework, writing, and reading? Will it take hard dedication just to get an A? Are the AP tests hard to study for? Is it realistic to at least get a 4?</p>

<p>It honestly (just like all classes) depends on the teacher.</p>
<p>My summer homework is to read a book and write three analytical journals that involve researching the political undertones of said book and coming to conclusions and stuff, which sucks. </p>
<p>Apparently we’re going to do like 5 of these a week.</p>
<p>It depends on the teacher. My teacher gave no take home homework, only to keep up with the readings or occasionally to look up something on google pertaining to class. But his quizzes and tests were notoriously hard as well as he grading for papers. We went through a book almost every week with the exception of when we worked on poetry and other units.</p>
<p>The best prep for studying for the test is honestly read frequently and learn to understand/interpret what your reading. Also, practice multiple choice questions. You’re teacher should be able to guide you with your writing skills.</p>
<p>Definitely depends on the teacher. We mostly had nightly readings and roughly two essays per month. Class was heavily discussion-based. Closer to the exam, we started doing more practice multiple choice and in-class essays [to get used to writing 40-minute essays].</p>
<p>Wow! Sounds like a lot! Do you think I will still be able to take it because I’m just putting it on my schedule and I don’t know if there is any summer work to be done?
Is it realistic to at least get a B+?
Or at least a 3 on the AP?</p>

<p>Yes, both are realistic. As long you can manage it with the rest of your schedule, you should be fine. Have you taken Lang? AP Lang really helps with AP Lit; it helps you adjust to the amount of writing.</p>
<p>It does depend on the teacher, but in all honesty, if you work hard for the class grade/AP score, you’ll get it.</p>
<p>Like everyone else says, it depends on the teacher. From years past, mine is really…not involved. She expects us to do everything on our own. Classes are more like study halls, not work periods. The first two months of the class are spent doing “projects” on the books we chose to read over the summer. She barely prepares us for the AP exam, but I don’t really care because the colleges I’m looking at won’t give credit for both AP English classes, only one. So, it doesn’t really matter to me. I’m expecting a grade in the “A” range since I’m one of the best writers in my grade, and we have some really, well, not AP people taking the class this year. I’m kind of excited to have the class because I know that I won’t be doing anything in there.</p>
<p>I’m not a good writer, but I’m already committed to doing my best, I know what it takes. English isn’t my thing, I’m more of a math/science person.
My schedule is
Algebra II 1
Trig. 1
Physics I 1
AP Bio. 1
AP English Lit. & Comp. 1<br>
Psych. .5
AP Psych. .5
Human Phys. .5
Experiencing Lit. .5
Consumer Ed. .5 </p>
<p>Will it be manageable with that? </p>
