<p>I know we're not exactly comparing apples to apples, since the tests aren't exactly the same each year, but on the whole: Which test did you find harder? Which did you do better on? Which did you predict you'd do better on? etc. etc.</p>
<p>For me, Lang=5 and Lit=4
I'm content with both scores, just idle curiosity inspired by someone's post in another thread.</p>
<p>I got a 5 on Language but I haven’t found out my Lit score yet. Honestly I can barely even remember the Language test since I took it last year but I think they were about the same in difficulty? I don’t really know.</p>
<p>EDIT: Wow, that was a useless post (sorry).</p>
<p>I thought Lit was ridiculously easy… Lang was more challenging, but only because my teacher didn’t go over any literary terms and I didn’t bother to study them… =</p>
<p>I got the same scores as the OP. I was kind of suprised that I got that score on lit, as it came senior year after language junior year. Maybe they didn’t like my free topic essay, as I wrote about an obscurish play most of the graders probably never read (It’s a Miller play, but not one of his famous ones).</p>
<p>i have yet to take either, but i’ve heard that lang is easier than lit. that’s the reason why many schools have lang as a pre-req for lit. my school doesn’t, but they suggest taking lang junior year and lit senior year.</p>
<p>congrats on your great scores!</p>
<p>5 on Lit, 4 on Language.</p>
<p>I did fall asleep on language… but still, I found it to be the more difficult test. The literature test requires you to be able to analyze pieces of writing in-depth, which I feel is a skill that is definitely possible to learn. Language, on the other hand, requires you to be able to persuade effectively and use rhetoric in your writing, which I believe is something more innate than learned.</p>
<p>5 on language
3 on lit</p>
<p>I took both of them this year (senior year)…My school offers an AP English class that is supposed to teach to both AP tests…but anyway, I found language easier due to the lack of poetry and the whole persuasive essay thing, also the synthesis essay was reminiscent of the DBQ in APUSH (which I took junior year and got a 5 on)…however, i didn’t think my scores would differ by 2 points…I’m happy though, all I needed was a 4 in one of them to get out of my college’s mandatory writing class</p>
<p>2 on Lang, 4 on Lit. </p>
<p>I was shocked I got such a low score on Lang because I came out of the testing center thinking I got at least a 4. The opposite is true for Lit though. I thought I completely failed it and got a decent score.</p>
<p>4 on both Lang and Lit. Very disappointing, as I was expecting a 5 on both of them (especially Lang).</p>
<p>At my school, the teachers say that Lit is the easier class, that students usually do better on Lit than Lang. In previous years, juniors took Lang and seniors took Lit, but now they’re switching it so that juniors can take what they believe to be the “easier” AP first.</p>
<p>S got 5 last year in Lang, and 5 this year in Lit. He said that they were actually quite similar.</p>
<p>So if I’m taking Lit Senior year but didn’t take Lang junior year will I have a lot of catching up to do in order to learn all the writing styles and lit terms that you learn in Lang? Or will I be okay just starting Lit from scratch?</p>
<p>Yeah, here we take Lang then Lit. I thought Lit was the same difficulty as Lang, but I suppose my essays weren’t quite as strong (since I’m quite positive I did very well on the MC). The poetry is really easy to explicate once you figure it out–once you get it, all of the poems become fairly similar.</p>
