<p>Is it worth taking this test at all considering I am in Trinity, which doesn't formally recognize AP English credit? For reference, I got a 4 on AP English Language last year as a junior so I already do have some elective English credit at my disposal. I do think that I would do well on the AP Literature test(4 or 5) but I would rather have $60 back in my pocket if there is absolutely no point in me taking the test. Any advice guys?</p>
<p>Up to you really, if you feel like you want to take it then by all means go ahead. If you don't want to take it, it won't hurt you.</p>
<p>I am in the same situation. Is there any reason why I should take Lit if I have a 5 on Language? (besides personal fulfillment and whatnot)</p>

<p>our high school removes your weighted credit if you skip the exam. Your A in class is therefore only a 4.0 not a 5.0 for class ranking.<br>
My son got weary in May with other competitions that interfered with AP Prep and a very busy senior spring. He did take AP exams and pulled some 3s. Made zero difference at Duke in his case. He had little wish to accelerate anyway. I don't believe Duke ever saw his APs scores that were 3s but his final transcript had the earned weighted credit.</p>
<p>I'm getting 69$ back on Monday.</p>
<p>But like...do you get anything from Duke if you have both Lit and Lang APs as opposed to only one of them?</p>
<p>Sure, you get the satisfaction of choosing which credit you really want to use and which you want to discard.</p>
<p>But is there any difference in what you can place out of between the two tests?</p>
<p>Does either test let you place out of anything?</p>
<p>I had 9 AP "credits" (as recognized by Duke) and ended up being allowed to skip three classes -- two math and one chemistry. Statistics, Eng. Language, US History, and European History all placed me out of exactly nothing.</p>
<p>Maybe it would be different if I had been majoring in English or History?</p>
