AP US History

What is AP US History like? Is it just memorization?
Thanks (:</p>

<p>My AP US history class was lots of notes, but way easier than AP Euro (if you’ve taken it), and the tests (m/c questions) are way easier too. It basically is a memorization class, but you have to learn a lot of concepts too–history is largely cause and effect based, big ideas, etc. The main ideas are more important than specific details, but you will need to know some.</p>
