<p>did anyone take the ap us history exam right after a year of normal US history (not AP level)? is it possible to self study for the exam (without worrying about those annoying document/ DBQ things)?</p>
<p>Normal US History only goes over the basics and like general themes. AP really goes into detail. Also the essays are a major part of the exam. Also be really prepared for the AP exam if you self study. There are people who have had like months of drilling and stuff.</p>
<p>my friend took a normal US class and got a 3 on the exam</p>
