<p>I'm planning my schedule for senior year and I don't know whether I should take AP Lang. I'm a math and science type of person and I have taken honors level English classes before, but in my opinion, I don't think I did fantastic in those classes (~88%). However, I know that a lot of colleges take a passing score on the AP Lang exam for credit as an introductory composition class and I want to get that credit out of the way (I want major Chemical Engineering, but English is still a requirement). Right now, my schedule will be
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics C: Mechanics (First Semester) / AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism (Second Semester)
AP Spanish Language
Honors Organic Chemistry
AP Computer Science A
British Literature or AP Language</p>
<p>Yes. Aside from adding rigor to your schedule, and potentially earning college credit, the writing skills that you will learn will prove invaluable when it comes time to writing college applications. Whether I would do 5 AP courses (combining physics into one) plus organic is a different question,</p>
<p>AP Lang is probably one of the best courses to take. However, one doesn’t necessarily NEED to take the AP lang class to do well on the test. Kids with great writing skills can take the test and do fine. However it is highly recommended, and plus a lot of stuff I learned in lang helped me do better on the ACT and SAT.</p>
<p>To be honest, I would be more worried about how many AP’s like @skieurope said and the fact you’re taking Organic. I don’t know about where you are, but Organic Chem where I am is ‘super-duper crazy’ hard. Goodluck with that schedule none-the-less. (And yeah, you should take AP Lang due to it helps with your writing, thus with about every other course)</p>
<p>At my school sophomores take it instead of seniors because of the IB program, and I highly recommend it because I have learned a lot about writing already.</p>
