Should I take the class?

<p>hi guys, i'm a junior trying to figure out what to do next year. my school offers ap english (i think preparing for the ap lit test) but it sounds like a lot of work that frankly i don't have the time to put in. it seems like a waste of time to me since apparently we're supposed to analyze the books on our own so we don't do discussions on that, so that kind of kills my desire to take the class. my thought is, if i'm going to be doing it on my own no matter what, why not take the class that i have the time for? the one thing really holding me back from dropping to the accelerated level is losing out on college credit, but i've heard the tests for ap lang and ap lit aren't that hard, so i'll self-study for them to get ahead in college. has anyone else made this decision? do you think it's a good plan?
thanks for your feedback! :)</p>
