I wish he could! AP English is a junior year class at his school, and he was demoralized about literary analysis after two very tough English teachers in grades 9 and 10, He felt those had been his hardest course, so he didn’t want to take AP this year. I think he regrets that now, as he scored 11 on the ACT writing and his English teacher this year has given a lot of positive feedback. Those tough teachers made him a better writer, for sure.

He is actually a great writer and I was wondering if he should maybe take the AP English language exam, as some kids at his school do even if they don’t take the course. Would that make any difference to a college, if he scored well on the AP exam without having the course on his transcript? School does not weight grades and claims all grade 12 English courses are post AP level. I don’t think they allow seniors to take the AP English course.
