AP Calculus AB vs AP English Literature

Pre-College Topics High School Cafe

I am trying to decide which of these classes I am going to take for next year. I would like to know:

  • Which is harder?
  • Which has a heavier workload?
  • What are the specific skills needed to succeed?
  • Which looks better for a college application?
  • Which was more enjoyable?

Thanks.

You know what I would like to know?
-Why did you choose that username?
-Is there any way to change it?

@awesomepolyglot
I was going to ask that too!
(and no, you can’t change usernames on CC)

To the OP, it depends on what you are interested in and what you want to major in (if you’re into STEM take calc, if you’re into humanities take lit). If you want to know the rigor of the classes you have to ask others at your school because your school has different teachers and different workloads than mine or others on CC.

You’re literally asking us to compare apples to oranges…

AP Calc and AP English aren’t comparable… They use different kinds of thinking in them, so if you are better at math take AP Calc and if you’re better at English take AP Lit

Why is it or or the other? Why not take both?

Thanks for the report.
