AP US History

Thoughts on APUSH? How’s the AP Test and how’s the class?

my friends take it, they say its easy

Be able to read fast, write well and analyze text. From what I’ve heard, APUSH really goes deep on concepts. Also heard there’s a ton of reading because half the sh** you take notes over isn’t on tests. Ask upperclassmen, it really depends on the teacher, but you’ll need the skills mentioned above. APUSH at our school leanrs over 1200 vocab words.

(I am taking APUSH next year, I am just telling you what my friends say) If you like history, you should take it. If you like reading A LOT, you could take it. Its lots of fast paced reading on your own and tests. You have reading checks (well that is how our AP classes are) and they can pretty much fail you. You have to be able to really understand the text after reading 10-15 pages every night.

I’m taking it right now, and so far, the speed at which you have to know all the causes and after effects (of different events in history) is by far one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done in high school. It’s really insane.

It’s easy

Thank you for the comments they are very helpful and I’ve decided to take the class.
