<p>i am a sophomore right now and thinking of taking ap u.s history next year. i am not sure if i should take it. i have a 100% in my world history class right now and i am not sure if i should take it. i hate writing essays that include formats like DBQ's. i am only passing my world history class because of memorization. should i take it? help!</p>
<p>As an A.P.U.S. teacher and the parent of a current senior my advice would be to take it if you're planning to go to college.</p>
<p>It will help you become better prepared for college and as admissions become more and more competetive the more you can do to strengthen your transcript the better.</p>
<p>go for it. i hate it, but probably b/c i hate history in general. make sure you can remember stuff though until may for the ap exam. its a hard class, but you will get many benefits from it. good luck =]</p>
<p>The APUSH test has a DBQ in it. </p>
<p>However, it is still a very good course. As long as you can remember things from the beginning of the course, you should be fine.</p>
