<p>i have a choice between those two classes, but i can only pick one because of the schedules.</p>
<p>Will i increase my chances if i take AP English or does it matter? </p>
<p>oh im gonna be a senior this coming year</p>
<p>US is more challenging, and you get more credit :p</p>
<p>Take US History for sure</p>
<p>In order to get credit for AP English Literature, you have to get a 5 on the exam. I took both classes, but if there is a choice between them, take US History.</p>
<p>You have to get a 5 on Eng Lit for 3 hours. If you get a 4 on US you get six hours. I would def go US</p>
<p>I’m going to echo these other people but with some more explanation.</p>
<p>AP History is the most challenging AP exam. That being said, I believe you just need a 4 to get 6 credit hours at UNC, and you get credit for two full classes: US history before 18something and US history after 18something… but that class is a pain in the ass at the university and interesting in high school, given a good teacher. AP Lit requires a 5 on the exam for fewer credit hours at UNC and is a waste of ****ing time.</p>
<p>Also, you can place out of your English class requirements at the university based off of your SAT scores. Most incoming freshmen these days have absolutely no critical writing skills whatsoever and the response is to make the two required English courses a couple of butthurts requiring a ton of writing.</p>
<p>Long story short, the best option is to take AP US and prep hard for the exam and SAT verbal section, then get out of almost a full semester’s worth of classes by scoring 4+ on the exam and 670+(?) on the verbal section.</p>
<p>Agreed ^</p>
<p>I got a 4 on US last year and I am taking Eng Lit this year, but honestly, you will actually GET something out of taking US despite an easier exam and possible credit hours but I have little faith in learing GOOD english skills in high school…but maybe that just depends on the teacher</p>
<p>see that, i misspelt learning</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>i’m doing a class from Princeton Review. We’ve just started today, anyone know if this class is gonna help me much?</p>
