AP US History and AP Euro at the same time?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I've scheduled classes next year, and US History is required, and I want to take the AP version, not the regular class (honor's student). I'm also extremely interested in European History, and I had room for one more class, so I chose AP European History as well (through an online program called Virtual Virginia, meaning it will be online, not with a teacher) . Is there anyone familiar with the content/workload of these classes that could tell me whether or not taking two AP History classes at the same time is a good idea? On top of these, the rest of my schedule would be: AP Calculus, Physics, Engineering, English 11AA (honors prepping for AP Eng), and Advanced Theatre. I think I can do it, but could anyone with experience in these classes give me some advice on whether or not I should do this? Thank you! (P.S. I love history, and I'm really good at it).</p>

<p>I don’t think you should do it , These histories can be killers separately. Together and one ONLINE i pray for your sanity dear sir</p>

<p>I would say that this is a VERY bad idea, but given that one of the classes is online, it may be more lenient. can you ask people around your school who’ve already taken that course online?</p>

<p>Take an easier social studies AP in place of Euro. Could you do Psychology or US Government?</p>

<p>I’m a sophomore and took both this year with no problem. Granted, the classes weren’t rigorous and I had to basically self teach myself. They were also my only APs. I find APUSH very easy, and AP Euro is a bit more difficult. I think it’s doable.</p>

<p>AP US Gov is a senior year class. Would AP Comparitive Government be better (it would also be online)? I just need to fill in that one spot, and I would like it to be an AP class of some sort. Through the online program, I can take virtually any AP class that I want.</p>

<p>taking both together is a TERRIBLE idea. AP US alone is bad enough; add AP euro in and you potentially have over 150 pages of reading+note taking+2 hours of assignments+5 hours of essays every week…
in other words, NOT A GOOD IDEA</p>
