<p>I signed up for AP Language and I was wondering if this course is hard. I gets A's(98%) in my gifted Language art classes but that required a ton of studying compared to my math, AP chem, or any other classes.
I struggle with English although I am second in my classes because many people are too lazy.
I was wondering if seniors have taken this course.
Also I am very horrible at the SAT Reading parts (slow reader) and my essay ability is quite poor. Do you thing I should take it?</p>
<p>I am having the same dilemma as you. English is my worst subject even though I still average a 99 in the class. I reccommend you take the course. I am taking AP English Language for the sole purpose of becoming better at English. And getting a better score on the reading portion of the SAT. A higher level English course will be very beneficial to your future courses and in college.</p>

<p>Consistent practice and learning how to read fast are two attributes one gains from taking the class.</p>
<p>You guys will do fine.</p>
<p>@qAnton: I hope so. English is the one subject holding me back. For some reason it just doesn’t come to me like Math and Science do. And thank you!

<p>I can relate; I am a math/science person as well.</p>
<p>However, if you have a semi-decent teacher, just buy CliffsAP, practice multiple choice and study some terms, you’ll be fine on multiple choice.</p>
<p>What you learn in the class is to develop a certain style on how you structure and word each essay you compose.</p>
<p>Remember to read a lot; why develop your own style when you can just base yours off of the masters such as the straightforward Hemingway, the flowery Fitzgerald, the abstract Ellison, even read a few satire essays.</p>
<p>That’s what separates a 3 from a 4 or 5.</p>
<p>I personally played safe and just wrote fully structured essays with little voice. Some students choose to write Satire essays.</p>
<p>Honestly, I would just play safe considering it’s not your strongest.</p>
