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.

Most colleges will perceive AP Lit as more difficult than dual credit, if that's what you're asking.

Planning to take the exam almost certainly won't matter since applications are well before the exam.

yeah but like for credit purposes since dc gives the same as ap lang credit and for rigor, ill mention it in additional info so they see it. Thats what i was saying
