AP vs SAT subject

<p>How similar are the AP english language test and sat2 english literature? My school doesnt offer AP classes but I want to explore my horizons and take an AP exam in atleast one subject. I was planning to take my sat2 in english literature, so I was wondering if AP english language will test a similar understanding of the subject. Also, from the sample questions of the sat2 english that i came across, i saw that no knowledge of any famous literary works are required as such unlike the AP English Literature. is that true? </p>

<p>I haven’t given any APs (IB student here!), but I have given the Literature SAT - II and received a score of 700+ s I can say with some authority that there is absolutely no previous knowledge required. It’s really similar to the Critical Reading section in SAT - I, except at a slightly higher level.</p>
