<p>Which is harder in terms of content, essay writing, and the exam, US or Euro?</p>
<p>I have taken both and thought that Euro was 100x harder than American. That was probably because most of the information was new to me. American seemed like I already knew the material in general, so the AP class was just going deeper into the issues. The DBQ is harder for APUSH though because the DBQ for Euro can be answered without knowledge of the topic, while APUSH needs outside information. Overall, I thought that Euro was harder because of the sheer amount of information, your dealing with a whole continent, not a single country as in APUSH.</p>
<p>I quote my APEuro teacher
"AP Euro is difficult because while other sciences are a mile long and an inch deep, European history is an inch long and a mile deep."
The thing about Euro is that Euro is covering 12 different nations at the same time with different rulers, marriages, wars and cultural occurences. APUSH is government and reform only, a little less convoluted.</p>
