<p>I am taking AP English Lit prep right now, and I was wondering how hard English Language is compared to that. Is it easy enough for me to take the English Lit prep and self-study Eng Lang? What are the differences between the two?</p>
<p>Also, do I have to send in all my ap marks?</p>
<p>Thanks for any help!</p>
<p>I was checking credits for a few colleges this week and noticed several give you credit for AP Eng Lang OR AP Eng Lit so there may be no advantage to taking both. Also check the AP exam schedule to see how the timing works out with any other AP exams you might have.</p>
<p>Some universities will not give any additional credit for both English Literature and English Language, compared to one of them.</p>
<p>Some universities or parts of universities give more credit for one over the other. For example, [UC</a> Berkeley’s College of Letters and Science](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/rc.html]UC”>Reading & Composition | L&S Advising) gives credit for one semester of the required Reading and Composition courses for a score of 4 on either, but gives credit for both semesters of the requirement for a score of 5 on English Literature (not English Language).</p>
<p>Check the universities you are interested in for what their policies on credit for these AP tests are.</p>
<p>so if they do give credits for both? What is the difference between the two?</p>
<p>^ as an adjunct to the above post, you rarely send AP scores to colleges until you have already been accepted. AP scores are self-reported, at your discretion, on apps and they rarely have an influence on admissions; the colleges, usually, do not care for official score reports. </p>
<p>Plus, you won’t get rescinded admissions for a bad AP score (rescinded admissions are rare, and, when they do happen, are based on gross misconduct, such as getting arrested and tried for a felony, or epic grade failure), so don’t worry about it. Just send all your scores in by filling it out during AP testing season of senior year (it’s free this way). Plus, AP tests are always after the deadline to choose a college, so you will definitely know where they should be going.</p>
