AP European History

<p>Has anybody on this forum taken AP European History? Or are there people that are taking it this fall?</p>

<p>Just wondering what I should be looking out for and such. I'm actually excited to take this class because, there's no history for freshmen at my school, and I enjoy history and think it's actually pretty fun.</p>

<p>Thanks :D</p>

<p>Yea, I’m taking it, I’m a rising senior. I heard my teacher is awesome so I’m looking forward to it.</p>

<p>Oh, i’m a rising sophmore. Can’t wait for this class, lol.
Did you receive alot of summer homework?</p>

<p>xpaulinabearx, there is a whole section dedicated to AP courses.</p>

<p>really? where o.0
sorry just joined and i didn’t really look at all the sections and stuff haha</p>

<p>Do you guys know what top colleges prefer, an IB student or a student who did AP classes in a regular high school ?</p>

<p>Please, Please help me, i am desperate for some answers . thanks (:</p>

<p>Not really, I have to define vocab words from two chapters. I thought it would be more. What summer work did you receive?</p>

<p>Well my school doesn’t have any IB classes…we only have AP and some honors : /</p>

<p>Really? I have to answer about 40 questions out of the textbook, read Sophie’s World, and write an essay on it stating which philosophie’s you agree and don’t agree with and why -_-</p>

<p>AP Euro is a joke. Our class was filled with 2nd semester seniors, so the class was pretty much a party the whole year</p>

<p>im my school the class is pretty much 99% seniors. with an occasional junior here or there. i cant wait for it. :)</p>

<p>In my school, you take AP European History your sophomore year, which I did. I liked the class, I learned a lot! You will probably learn how to write a DBQ (Data Based Question) which is like a series of passages/pictures in which you to group to answer to certain question. The AP Exam isn’t that bad, I got a 3 without any studying, I just took the class.</p>

<p>At my school, only sophmore’s and some juniors can take AP euro. I wish senior’s were allowed…then the class would be a joke :D</p>

<p>kinda why im excited for that class. awesome students + awesome teacher = :D</p>

<p>There’s only 1 Euro teacher at my school, and I heard she’s really chill :smiley:
But I also heard she gives out lots of homework on weekends also :(</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Or how to answer Document Based Questions…</p>

<p>The class isn’t that hard depending a little on your previous knowledge of European History. I’d say it’s harder than APUSH though (easy class). The class covers about 500 years of history over an entire continent, as opposed to ~250+ in one country. The detail is at times quite similar.</p>

<p>i didnt know how to write a dbq, got a 4 in apush, (i took honors).</p>
