Hello,
I am an IB tenth grader currently taking the AP English Literature and Composition course at my school. I am also taking AP Psychology, AP Physics I, and AP European history courses as well. I plan on taking tests for all of those courses in May. In addition to the 4 tests, I am planning on taking the AP English Language and Composition Test. I have never taken the course but I heard that the two AP English courses are somewhat similar but very different. I want to self study for this course in the next month and pass the test with at least a 4 (5 would be amazing).
So do you think I should take a shot for the test by just self-studying?
If so, what would you recommend I do to prepare for the AP English Language Test? (Review books and tips)
For anyone who has taken both of the courses, how would you compare them and their tests.
Thanks!!!
