<p>I have the option of taking either (or both) next year as a senior. (Not allowed to take Lang as a junior). Which seems to be more fun/enjoyable for you guys and why? (Or easier)</p>
<p>Yes, I have asked people at school and the consensus is about the same for either.</p>
<p>Lang at my school is more fun and enjoyable but more difficult. Lit is not really a legit class b/c the teacher is drunk and doesn't teach us at all. We have read a bunch of short stories but no poetry and that was first semester.</p>
<p>How exactly does one study for the AP Language exam? It seems like there isn't much to do.</p>
<p>The class was all about analyzing the structure of passages and works. It's alot more interesting than Lit.</p>
<p>by reading difficult non-fictional prose and analyzing its rhetorical strategies</p>
<p>I love that prospect.</p>
<p>Lit and Language were BORING to me. I think Language was easier, but Lit more interesting.</p>
<p>Language - nonfiction, research, maybe 1 shakespeare (at my school anyway)
Lit - fiction, poetry, a lot more shakespeare</p>
<p>Go to collegeboard.com and look at the summaries they give in AP Central.</p>
<p>I wouldn't take both, since in a lot of respects they're not that different. Different people feel differently about it</p>
<p>basically the same. if you're good at english, you'll be good at either. Can't go wrong with either of 'em.</p>
<p>i think it also depends on how your school offers them. for us, lang will be a new class next year for juniors only if they wanted to take it instead of english 3 honors while lit is an option for seniors who want to take it in place of english 4 honors.</p>
<p>EDIT:
concerning rbase's post:
I don't know about you, but I SUCK at shakespeare and poety. I don't understand them. period. I know that in english this year, I had high A's for the first three quarters plus the midterm, and this quarter, all we've done is Shakespeare and I have an effing C right now.</p>
<p>I don't think the "same for both, if you're good at english, you're good at both" applies to everyone.</p>
<p>i'm taking both because i got a 3 last year on lang... i really need a 4 on one of them.</p>
