Im rising junior and I will be taking 4 AP classes next year but I’m really debating if I should switch out of AP world for APUSH.
I really want to go to duke university and one of my friends told me that if I wanted to really go there I should take apush. are these Aps hard at all and do you thing I could do it? another one of my friends have duke looking at her but she took the normal honors us history. I’ve just heard too much about apush that it scared me too much but I would much rather take 1 year of US history instead of 2 years.
here are the classes I signed up for:
-AP CALCULUS AB BC
-AP EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL
-AP WORLD HISTORY
-AP ENGLISH LANGUAGE
I am also going to be a junior in August. I took APUSH my sophomore year and I took the AP Exam and did not pass. Strangely enough I wasn’t really sad because I know 100% that what I want to do in the future will not require history. I am taking AP Euro my junior year. In my opinion APUSH is not that hard depending on your teacher. It involves tons of writing,critical thinking and time management skills. If you go in as a strong writer you may not struggle as much in the beginning.
