<p>How hard would AP Literature be for someone who is coming from a regular English class? </p>
<p>I'm a Junior and my class has read and analyzed 7 books. How does that compare to AP Lit.? I have read several books throughout the year to improve my vocabulary but I'm not sure if that is enough. </p>
<p>How large is the work load for your class?</p>
<p>I will be taking AP Calc AB and AP Physics B so I'm not sure if I can handle AP Lit.</p>
<p>What are your thoughts? </p>
<p>I'm very interested in taking AP Lit so that my writing will be college level by the time I graduate.</p>
<p>I doubt my Lit class reflects other people’s classes but, in terms of work, it wasn’t really that bad. We rarely got homework and most of our grades were based on projects and numerous in class essays based on real AP questions. Lit isn’t something you can really memorize which is why there wasn’t that much work I suppose. If you’re naturally inclined to do well in reading, writing, analyzing (very imp.) etc… beyond something like voc memorization, then it would be a good class to take.</p>
<p>Well I guess the memorization part is a good thing. I’m terrible at memorizing stuff. How much did you have to read per night? How long? (pages) How fast should I be reading? Honestly, I think I retain more information if I read aloud. Is this a problem? I can read quietly and retain information as long as I am moving my lips.</p>
<p>Like I said, I don’t think my class reflects other people’s, but I actually found myself doing a lot less at home reading than I did in my previous classes. I know that doesn’t sound like it makes any sense, but it’s because we analyzed and read most books in class together.</p>
<p>And how you read shouldn’t really affect how well you do in the class. I actually find myself doing that someimes too actually, mouthing the words as I read lol.</p>
