<p>Which one is easier? Which one is harder? My friend recomended to me AP Modern European History because it's easier. He's done it before, but he goes to the rival school in town so the teachers could be different. Which is easier?</p>
<p>Both are easy, just read the book and thats enough. The DBQ's are a bit of a challenge though.</p>
<p>Euro History is easier. APUSH DBQ = Hell. </p>
<p>Our school offers AP Euro for 9th graders, and APUSH for 10th graders.</p>
<p>I'm taking both right now, and I think from what I've seen/heard of the AP exams, US is more difficult because it's pickier (details details) and Euro is a bit more general with questions.</p>
<p>My school doesn't offer Euro- just AP World and AP U.S. I personally LOVED U.S. History, but then again I had a really great teacher. And I didn't think the AP exam for U.S. History was that bad- I didn't study that much and I got a 5.</p>
<p>I think this has to do with what type of learner you are. If you're good at memorizing details, then APUSH is probably easier. Since you cover a shorter period of history in the same school year, you focus more on the details.</p>
<p>For AP Euro, though, you're covering a much longer period of time within the same school year, so you focus more on trends and patterns rather than facts and dates. </p>
<p>I wouldn't say that the APUSH DBQ is a killer. We wrote a grand total of two (or maybe three) DBQs last year in APUSH, so I went into the exam not knowing how to write a history essay at all. But as long as you know what the question's asking and can incorporate the documents and use outside information, you should be fine. I got a 5 despite the mediocre teacher.</p>
<p>Statistically, a 5 is harder to get on the AP US History exam. Our teacher told us that last year, he only had one student get a 5....out of 11, and some of those kids were very bright.</p>
<p>It really depends on your school. </p>
<p>Unless you're talking about the exam?</p>
<p>I mean the exam and the course in general.</p>
<p>EURO.</p>
<p>Much more general, and unless you find half of all miniscule movements in US history interesting, more fun.</p>
