Is there any value in taking AP Lit if I’m taking AP Lang and already taking the AP Lang test? I’m already taking four AP tests this year. Again, I’m aiming for a very selective college
They’re different classes and not difficult. I’d say it’s worth it.
Yes! Especially since you’ve already taken AP Lang, AP Lit is absolutely worth it. AP Lang is the study of words and rhetoric, AP Lit is the study of novels and stories. They are two different courses and both are very much worth it!
Definitely take them both if you can and are confident in your ability to perform well on them. Lit is mostly based on fiction and analyzing literature, while Lang is more focused on non-fiction and writing skills. However, the style/format of the tests themselves are pretty similar and there is value in both.
