Is it worth it to take both? I’ve already done AP Lang. Is AP Lit a good class to take?
Yes, and since skills overlap quite a bit, it shouldn’t be too hard.
I actually had fun taking the AP Lit exam; the reading materials they chose for my year were much more interesting than what I had for AP Lang before!
Will colleges give credit for both exams or only one or the other?
@philargyrist It varies, check with the colleges you’re planning on applying to and decide if it’s worth it to you.
Many students take AP Lang in junior year and AP Lit in senior year. AP policies vary by college, but the most common cases are to give credit for one or the other (no double counting allowed), or only AP Lit, or none at all.
