Is taking AP Literature worth taking if I’m going to major in art/photography/fashion?

0

I’m trying to figure out my schedule for senior year in high school and I’m debating whether it’s worth taking or not for the major and minor I want to get into . I’ve already decided to take AP Government because I heard that class was fairly doable. I’ve taken AP classes in the past because I know it looks good on my transcript for colleges but now I’m not sure if art schools really see it as impressive as other universities do

You should go for it. Anytime you can get college credit for a class in high school is really beneficial. AP classes cost a lot less than college credit hours and once you get to your university you'll be able to focus more on your major classes than all the other requirements.

Taking AP literature is worth it solely for the fact that if you pass the AP test, sometimes your college of choice might take your score and give you credits that can exempt you from taking writing placement exams (the case for my college), a lower division english course, or something along those lines. I'd say go for it :)
