How hard is AP Lit?

On the other hand, I found it incredibly easy. My teacher had us read 8 books (Othello, The Awakening, A Doll’s House, Bartleby, 1984, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Great Gatsby, plus one out of class book.) I know my teacher, at least, would pretty much give us the symbols and everything, and we would tell him what we thought the significance was, and what it meant. So we really didn’t have to do much nitpicking like that. Our tests were based off of either one discussion we’d had in class or the entire book, so it was kind of unpredictable and we actually would have to read most of the book (though I do admit to having stopped reading halfway through a lot of the books I mentioned before and still managed to get an A+ all 4 marking periods.) But again, it really depends on the teacher. Considering that english isn’t your first language, you might have a bit of trouble if you’re not 100% comfortable with older works, but I think you should be fine.
