<p>I'm taking APUSH course in school, just think about self study AP US Gov, is it possible? only 3 months left. Is there a big difference b/w AP US gov and APUSH? Thanks.</p>
<p>In terms of overlapping content, they are not similar. APUSH gives some background into APGOV but they test totally different things. They’re both heavily based on memorization (at least for those terrible court cases). Unless you think you can handle a ton of memorizing, don’t try to do both tests. But if you are up for a ton of memorizing, I think you can do it in 3 months, there are no hard to grasp concepts.</p>
<p>not similar at all. APUSH is about history where as ap gov is about civics (how the government works). Civics is not covered in APUSH at all, other than the basics.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Is there a big difference b/w AP US gov and Honor US gov?</p>
<p>take AP US Gov. it’s one of the easiest AP tests if you take the time and effort.</p>
<p>in terms of overlapping content, if you’re taking APUSH now I guess remembering influential court cases and monumental election years are something great to have under your belt. Using those little tidbits of knowledge you’d probably only answer like 3 or 4 questions on the AP test. So… there really isn’t much similarity between the two. But it’s generally accepted that if you do fairly well in APUSH, APGOV should be a snap</p>
<p>They aren’t similar really. AP gov is really easy while APUSH is considered to be more difficult. They don’t really overlap content-wise, other than supreme court cases which serve very little purpose on the US Gov test. If scheduling is an issue, I think you could manage to take the test while only taking an honors gov class, but if possible taking the AP class would be more advisable.</p>
<p>completely different, got a 5 on ap us last year, im taking ap gov currently and its a joke</p>
