<p>Here’s my take on AP Lit. Many of the tippy-top schools upon which many of us on CC are fixated, give credit for Lit or Lang, but not both. I’m not a big fan of taking AP classes for which I will not get credit. If the alternative to AP Lit is a generic Senior English class, take AP Lit. If the alternatives are interesting electives (e.g. creative writing, 20th c. drama, detectives in fiction), consider those provided the GC will check the “most rigorous” box on the Secondary School Report.</p>
