<p>I am a senior in HS but my advice is take AP Lit. It might seem hard at first; if, after the first monthish, it’s still ridiculously hard, would you be able to switch to regular English (“English 12” or “English 4”… whatever they call it at your school)? Last year (junior year), I was in AP Euro, and it was hard at first, but it wasn’t getting any easier (I wasn’t “getting the hang of it”, it was too much reading, and plus I hate history!) after 2 months, so I switched into regular history (and still got in to some pretty good schools).</p>
