<p>Is AP English Literature easy to pass if you only take a regular English course at your school? Anyone who self-studied willing to share their stories/AP score? </p>
<p>Almost all colleges require their undergrads to take English Lit & Comp for their general ed reuqirements right? Thus, it would be worth while to pass the test to avoid having to take it in college? Do most of the colleges even accept this score in replacement of college English courses?</p>
<p>People here say that AP English Lit is one of the easier APs. Personally, I would say that this is CC. 
Then again, I have yet to take the AP English class…</p>
<p>I think colleges accept the score in replacement, but not all. That’s where you should look up the colleges’ websites and see on that page where they put the AP credit stuff.</p>
<p>i know a lot of people in my school who took it say that there are just a lot vocab terms and analyzing…
in my school both AP language and literature are easy tests because we have good teachers but generally i think you need at least an AP english course to help prepare</p>
<p>I took the test cold and scored a 4 – and I’d never taken an AP english class. So, yes, it’s easy to pass if you’re good at reading/writing.</p>
<p>yea, i think u could pass it if uve only been taking regular english. my teacher made us do a ton of writing, so try and practice that, and my teacher barely gave us feed back, so i never really knew what i was doing wrong and i got a 4. i am absolutely terrible at reading passages and answering questions (700 on the SAT reading section just to give u perspective how not on top of it i was lol, which was incredible for me sadly), and we only practiced it like 2 times, and i didnt study at all for the test, so yeah, u should just go for it. i actually got forced into it by my school counselor who wouldnt let me drop out of the “honors english track” and just take regular 12th grade english, but im happy she made me do it, b/c im not doing eng freshman yr…so in a nutshell, do the exam, uve got nothing to lose (except the cost for the exam i guess)</p>
<p>And do check your colleges English reqs. I thought I would get credit for comp 101&102 but nope I just get comp 101 and some
gen lit class for later on which I kinda do kinda don’t need. So I’m
in a kind of odd situation where I’m starting the school year off in the middle of the freshman English sequence</p>
<p>I read the Barron’s review book for a few days before the test and I scored a 4. Of course, I got a 34 and a 33 on the ACT English and Writing respectively, so I may just be good at that. Either way, you should be able to self-study and do well.</p>
