<p>I've been browsing around CC for a while now, and I've realized that so many people who apply for college all have taken the exam for AP Lang. But not many have taken the exam for AP Lit. And because AP Lang seems like a more popular test out of the two, it's hard finding advice and information on it. I'm just wondering how difficult is it? And for those who have experienced the torture of sitting through the three hour exam, do you have any worldly advice? I'm trying to be as positive as I can, but the idea of taking the exam in roughly two weeks scares the **** out of me. </p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>You need to memorize lit terms, take a lot of practice tests, learn to write a comparative analysis essay (some poetry essays require compare & contrast), and prep 5-8 “canonical” novels or plays for Essay #3. If your essays are reasonably good, you can miss 10-12 in the MCQ section. Writing three good essays in 2 hours can be a challenge, so you should practice it with strict time limits.</p>
