<p>Okay so after researched the colleges I want to go to and their credit they give to AP courses I found that most give the same course exemption and credit from either AP English Language and Composition and AP English Literature. By this I mean like this :</p>

<p>English
<a href="8%20unit%20max%20for%20both%20exams">b</a>**</p>

<p>- Language/Composition
Score:
4-5</p>

<p>College Credit Course Name:
ENGCOMP 3</p>

<p>Units
8.0</p>

<p>Requirements Met:
EW, W1 </p>

<p>** - Literature/Composition**
Score:
4-5</p>

<p>College Credit Course Name:
ENGCOMP 3</p>

<p>Units
8.0</p>

<p>Requirements Met:
EW, W1 </p>

<p>**So as you can see, this college (UCLA) counts both AP Englishes as the same thing! </p>

<p>I already took AP English Language and Composition but should I even bother to take AP English Literature next year???**</p>

<p>Pretty much just take it to get the weighted average boost, but credit-wise I don’t think it makes too much of a difference.</p>

<p>There’s a large majority of students who take AP’s for reasons other than college credit being at the top of the list. </p>

<p>The content, in depth of each of the courses, is vastly different and comprehensive which develops college leveled reading and writing skills required for EVERY college class/life. </p>

<p>AP Lang deals with rhetorical/non fiction writing (google: rhetorical framework) </p>

<p>AP Lit deals in well… uhh Literature. </p>

<p>Go to the CB page and look up both exams, both are well worth taking for the experience of being in the class. Rather than college credit. </p>

<p>Besides, many schools only take Lit for the freshmen requirements and lang only gives a partial/elective.</p>
