<p>Okay, I will be a junior next year and I know most people take either AP Language or AP Lit for English. Actually, here it's mostly AP Language, but still. My problem is that this year as a sophomore I took the equivalents of both those classes at the local community college, and got A's in both (not yet in the second one, but will as finals are next week). These are the classes that if you took the AP exams, you would be exempt from. I'm wondering though, if I should take AP English next year. I've heard that colleges see AP as harder than community college courses, and it might look weird if I didn't take AP English when every other person in the country does (or most of them anyway). I was planning on taking more advanced English classes at a local university next year, because it's just a higher lever and you have to have completed English Lit and Language to do them, which I have, but not AP (they would count though as they are from the community college). If I do that, I'm thinking of self-studying and taking both AP English tests just to show that I'm at least comparable to other applicants (I'm pretty sure I can score high with studying as I've already done the equivalent of work for both). Is that alright, or should I just take the AP class?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
