AP Psychology vs AP Comparative Government and Politics

Test Preparation AP History & Social Sciences
1

I’m taking the AP European History next year (my sophomore year), and I wanted to self study one AP as well. I had a few questions.

  1. Which test is easier? I’ve heard that both are pretty easy, but which did you find easier?
  2. Do Ivies look down on AP Psychology?
  3. Do Ivies prefer AP Comparative Government?
  4. I’m extremely involved in politics and economics. I read economic theories in my spare time, and I have volunteered for three political campaigns so far. Does AP Comparative Government and Politics have anything to do with that?
  5. Does AP Comparative Government and Politics have any information that’s also on the European History AP? I have to take the European History one, so I was wondering if a portion of the information will already be covered.</p>

<li>Both are incredibly easy, Comp Gov I found easier becuase this year the FRQ’s actually made sense, unlike Pysch’s which were bizarre</li>
<li>They don’t look down on it, but they probably don;t care too much about it either, most give an elective credit for it </li>
<li>Not really</li>
<li>Not really, it’s mostly comparing types of governments in countries and looking at types of economies, its fairly basic </li>
