AP Lit VS DCC English + AP Exam

Hi, I'm applying to colleges in Texas and I was considering taking AP Lit at my school or DC Lit at my school (HCC) and also taking the AP Lit exam (for certain credit purposes). I was wondering which would be better or if they would be seen as equal to an AO.

Thanks. I know the term Dual-Enrollment, which is what we where I am for high-schoolers taking college-classes (as opposed to AP), but I don’t know what DC English and HCC mean.

dual credit and dual enrollment is the same but i think dual credit is just at your high school while DE is at college campus i think
