i am already taking ap chem and ap calc next year and the workload is a lot… but ive heard ap lang is a really great class that helps you all throughout your college career in regards to being able to construct a well-written essay. So if I don’t take Lang, I’d take honors 11 next year instead… what should I do?
Take Lang. It’s a common junior class.
AP Lang is more common for juniors, while AP Lit is more common for seniors.
As others have said, I would take Lang as a junior and Lit as a senior. I’m in Lang right now (Junior), and the workload isn’t too much to handle.
What is the difference in Honors English 11 and AP Lang? At our school HE9 and HE11 are the hard ones (11 the most challenging English course people say) and I think you take either AP Lit or AP Lang as a senior- we can’t take anything but Honors English 11 or Regular Eng 11.
You might want to look at the dates for the AP exams first to see if taking another AP won’t make you overload! For example if you’re taking Spanish then it might not be a great idea, but if you’re taking Latin then it is up to you! But if you’re NOT planning on taking the AP exams, then I’d recommend taking the AP Lang!
Here are the AP exam dates for next year:

I hope this was helpful! Good luck!
ap lang is the first year college level of english… ive heard very challenging and requires lots of time. honors english 11 is basically english 11 but much more in depth… essays are graded harder, much more reading
Take lang junior year, it’ll reach you how to write at advanced levels as well as help you on the SAT and ACT. It’ll also help your reading comprehension in more scholarly works
I highly suggest taking ap lang because it really improves your reading, writing, and vocabulary. I have found that class to really improve my critical reading levels on the sat. It’s a pretty helpful class
