Here's my two cents. I had to take one exam out of A&I Lit, AmLit, EngLit. I definitely AM a literary type and read those kinds of books. However, I don't care much about the history of literature.
I looked at all three exams, and when I saw what kind of information I would have to learn fresh for AmLit and EngLit, such as authors' names, their main works, the content of those works, and the relationship with other authors, I realized it was beyond my ability given the time I had to study. So for me, the choice was clear.
If you're good at memorizing all that stuff I just outlined, and can keep it straight in your head just long enough to pass the test, then go for it, and my hat's off to you. If you don't think you can do that with the amount of time you have to study, then you might just decide to grab the easy six credits and call it a day.
Also, do you have to pass BOTH AmLit & EngLit for them to accept your 12 credits, or will they accept only one for 6 credits if that's all you pass? If you must pass both to get any credits, then that might be something to weigh.
