im taking ap lit this year and it’s pretty tough. i would say this is one of the tougher exams but that just me. im more of a math person than english. i know from experience how much reading literature books suck but there is no way around it. to pass the exam with a 4 or a 5 you have to be able to read this stuff. the test has an hour long multiple choice section with about 55 questions that make the sat look easy. then you have two hours to write three essays, one on poetry, one on prose and one open ended.

but in the end it matters on if you think you can handle the workload. remember that it is your senior year and you don’t want to miss out on all the fun. on the other hand, if you take the test and get a 4 or 5, you will save money and time in college. if you have been doing well in your english classes up to now go ahead and take it. if you struggled however, you probably shouldn’t. hope this helps you make your decision
