<p>I am taking 4 AP exams next week, and my counselor ffffff'ed up a little.... I was supposed to be signed up for the AP English Lit exam.... But he accidentally signed me up for AP English Language and comp...... I talked to him about it, and he wants me to pay the late fee if I want to take the AP Lit.....</p>
<p>So I've come here to ask for advice.... I was originally hoping to take the AP Lit exam and I was just in an enriched (honors) class for language arts all year, preparing for the Lit Exam.... My counselor messed up, and signed me up for AP English lang which I have no idea if Lit and Lang are the same or not or similar....</p>
<p>I'm mainly looking for if I should take the AP English Lang, or pay the late fee........ What do you guys suggest?</p>
<p>I feel like AP Lang wouldn’t be the same…
If I were you, I’d be really really angry at my guidance counselor! That is a ridiculous mistake to make and when you signed up he should have asked for clarification.
I’ve heard that the main difference is that Lit is fiction writings and Language is non-fiction, but maybe people taking AP Lit can elaborate more, since I’ve only taken AP Language</p>
<p>I would pay the late fee though, since that’s what you prepared for</p>
<p>It is a ridiculous mistake indeed… I feel like my teacher is going to have a response to this as well. She basically recommended at a certain point I sign up for AP through my counselor, she specifically gave info to my counselor to get AP Lit… AP Lang happened. I feel like there’s gonna be a fight or something between teacher and counselor…</p>
<p>Anyway thanks guys, I’ll get $40 tomorrow, and pay the late fee… First I’ll want to see if my teacher does anything. </p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>

<p>Gl on the exam! I’ll be taking it next Thursday too : )</p>
<p>I remember reading on a thread several months ago of someone signing up for Lit and Lang having only taken a Lang class. The person got a 3 and 5 respectively if I remember correctly.</p>
<p>Haha if you are going to lose the money, you might as well try the other as well : P? Could turn out well, you never know (assuming you at least research the types of questions beforehand)!</p>
<p>alright this is what happened with my councilor. My teacher threatened him as he is a first year councilor, saying she could petition for him to lose his job. He was afraid of losing his job, he paid for late testing, and I am now taking AP Lit on May 24th.</p>
<p>You have 4 exams to worry about, you shouldn’t have to teach yourself a new one!!</p>
<p>Tell the head of the school and see if they can make your counselor pay for you. If not, I’ll pay the fee myself. Your counselor is a moron.</p>
<p>it’s all good fear.</p>
