<p>I am wondering whether it is necessary for me to take the AP Literature test this year as a senior in high school. I will be enrolling at UCLA in the fall. I received a 4 on the AP Language and Composition test last year, and since there is a maximum of 8 credits, and I am excused from the two English/writing requirements already, I was wondering if there is any reason for me to take the AP Literature test. </p>
<p>Are there any other things it may cancel me out of, in terms of credits or courses, that are not listed on the website? I am still unsure of my major.</p>
<p>i dont think there is any reason to take it. i got a 4 also on Lang and i really dont wanna take Lit tomorrow..its gonna suck hardcore. the only reason im going is because i dont want an asterisk on my record and because i dont wanna waste my money. if i knew from the beginning I was going to UCLA, i would have definitely not taken it.</p>
<p>credit wise, im pretty sure Lit is useless if you already got a 4 on Lang. it gives no credit and no units for both letters and sciences and engineering when i checked.</p>
<p>^you don't have to take it. i was in the same position my senior year. had a 4 in language, and saw no point of taking lit. i did NOT take the test, and everything is fine for me.</p>
<p>you don't have to take it... but if you do, at least you get out of class and you can commiserate with your fellow students after the test rapes you ;)
i took it in '06... man that version was so out of left field. the smartest girl in our class was actually drawing handprint turkeys on the extra paper...</p>
