British Lit BEFORE AP Language?

british lit is an important, good, and usually challenging class, that i hve been told is looked upon well by colleges. perhaps your son could self study for the AP language if he thinks the AP score might help his admission chances. I took british lit my junior year. My school doesn’t offer AP Englishes, and I felt guilty that I was only taking one AP class, (though three others were requirements or strong suggestions!) so I self-studied for the English Lit and Lang and got 4s and 5s, respectively… If your son is a good english student, and studies for a couple of hours one a weekend for like three weeks, its pretty easy to score well on these (especially if you just choose one, I suppose). Colleges will be impressed if you self study and do well and if you dont do well you dont have to report it and since you didnt take the class theyll be none the wiser
