AP Lang vs AP Lit: Which one's easier?

I can't decide between taking AP English Language (AP Lang) or AP English Literature (AP Lit) next year. I'm not super confident in my English skills, so I was wondering which one is generally considered easier? If you've taken either (or both), could you share your experiences?

I've taken both AP English Language and AP English Literature, and I can share some insights from my experience. Ultimately, whether AP Lang or AP Lit is considered "easier" depends on your individual strengths and preferences.

AP English Language focuses more on rhetorical analysis, argumentation, and persuasive writing. You'll read a variety of nonfiction texts, analyze how authors craft their arguments, and practice creating your own. If you enjoy critical analysis and have strong logical reasoning skills, you might find AP Lang more manageable.

On the other hand, AP English Literature delves into literary analysis, interpretation, and appreciation of poetry, prose, and drama. You'll read a diverse range of literary works and analyze their themes, structures, and stylistic devices. If you're more comfortable with creative reading and have a strong understanding of literary devices, then AP Lit might be easier for you.

That said, both courses can be challenging, but they can also be highly rewarding and help you develop further skills in reading and writing. I'd recommend talking to current students who've taken these courses as well as your English teachers to help you make a more informed decision. Good luck!
