<p>I am taking it next year. What kind of class is it (is it like Ap Lang where either you know the stuff or you don't)?</p>
<p>AP lit is pretty analytical. You do have to know your stuff in terms of literary terms. I really enjoyed the class immensely, although I can hardly be classified as an English person. If your class is like mine you should expect to do a lot of reading and analyzing of the literature, you have to be able to pick out sybolism and literary devices. If you've taken Latin it will probably be helpful to you, especially Latin lit because you'll have learned some of the same terms and devices.</p>
