<p>Hi-</p>
<p>I took AP Language and Composition this year, and am unsure if I should take AP Literature next (senior) year.
I am wondering how intense/hard the AP test is and how much prep will be required. I also want to go into medicine, so will this class contribute at all to my knowledge or college experience? </p>
<p>If it helps, the rest of the AP classes I will be taking are
AP Biology
AP Government
AP Statistics
And possibly AP Literature. </p>
<p>I'd appreciate anyone's insight.</p>
<p>I couldn’t really say… I found AP Lit to be very difficult (especially the preparing-for-the-test part because it’s one of those tests you can practice for but not really study for; the MC wasn’t that bad, but I’m a terrible essay writer and found the passages hard to analyze so the two hours of 3 essays almost killed me…). I’m pretty sure I got a 2 or worse on the test, and the college I will be attending wouldn’t give me any credit for it even if I got a 5. I doubt that taking the course will give you adequate knowledge for studying medicine.</p>
<p>However, my teacher wasn’t that good, I didn’t take AP Language the year before, and English is not my forte. I’d say ask some people who’ve taken the class about the teacher and workload. Assess how much you liked AP Language and how easy you felt the test was. Think about this year’s courseload and whether you think you can handle 4 APs. If those things don’t deter you, go for it!</p>
<p>In the medical field, you don’t have to be a GREAT writer. If you are EXCELLENT in science, and good at math, you will be good to go.</p>
<p>I just took it this year. I’m a Juniah. My school’s weird.</p>
<p>Anywayz doooood, your overall year will totally be based on your teacher. Sorta obvious.</p>
<p>But besides that, the rumors are true: the actual AP test is way easier than any practice tests/ multiple choices, you’d have done in class.</p>
