<p>has anyone taken this course in high school? i'm thinking it'll be an easy way to boost the gpa a little.. and because i do have an interest in art, although i dont plan on persuing a career in this area.. </p>
<p>input & ideas would be appreciated !</p>
<p>It's really not that easy. There's a lot of information to absorb. One of my friends who's going to Yale studied her butt off for that exam (and she took a year long class in it) but ended up with a 4 because there's just SO much to know.</p>
<p>I didn't take it, I was going to but then I realized that it was not interesting at all</p>
<p>It's not easy, atleast not at my school. I havn't taken it, but many of my friends who have told me it was one of their hardest classes they've ever took. You have to work your ass off to finish with an A.</p>
<p>It was one of the most interesting classes I've ever taken. It was also the hardest class I have ever taken just because of the amount of information you have to absorb. I got like an 89 for three quarters of the year...and finally got a 90 in the fourth quarter (which was weird, because I had stopped reading the textbook and taking notes around February). About 3 out of twelve kids in the class averaged an A for the year. It's regarded as the hardest class in my school--with AP Physics a close second (I took both at the same time, so I can vouch for that.)</p>
<p>Got a 4 on the exam though.</p>
<p>Try remembering about 50,000 years worth of art information. See if that's easy.</p>
<p>lol, AP "Art history" harder than AP physics, give me a break.</p>
<p>i thought i'd give this course a try.. but the more i think of it .. with a monotone art teacher im gona have to deal with for a whole year .. i think that'll definitely add to the problem</p>
<p>I took it, and AP Art History is not harder than AP Physics. Tha is retarded. I do think AP Art History is about on the same level as AP World History though.</p>
<p>I took them during the same year. At first AP Physics was harder, but it got easier. AP Art History did not--if anything it got worse. The AP Art History exam was definitely harder than both of AP Physics exams.</p>
<p>AT my school it's known as a GPA booster. People take it to slack off and easily make A's, then again, they usually don't pass their exams, so I'm thinking a real class is much harder. Physics is (known as) the hardest class, with almost nobody ever getting an A, and half the people failing the honors class (no AP offered in it here). I'm planning to take it anyway, though, and try my hand at getting that coveted A this year.</p>
<p>AP Art History is harder than World History. The end.</p>
<p>Any history AP is pretty easy. Sorry guys.</p>
<p>it think you might be confusing art history with art appreciation, which is basically sitting around talking about art. art history is the actual information and knowledge behind those pretty pictures.</p>
