<p>Hey guys, I can't fit AP lit into my schedule this next year, but I want the credit so I am going to be self studying.... I was wondering how many books and what books you guys think I should read to properly prepare for the test. I have a few review books for practice tests. </p>
<p>Also, the poetry sections, I have seen on several AP lit sites that they do a study of poetry....how should I go about this? </p>
<p>If it helps, i used nothing I learned in my ap lit class on the test, and i got a 4. </p>
<p>Just make sure you’ve read some Shakespeare, and a few other literary classics. If you are a good enough writer, you can bend the promos to fit almost any books. </p>
<p>And for the poetry analysis on the tests, just make sure you know forms of sonnets, and be able to identify literary features. </p>
<p>90% of what I used on the test I learned in 8th or 9th grade. </p>
<p>Have you considered taking AP English Lang? Most colleges grant the same credit to both. AP Lang require no prep if your English abilities are above par.</p>
