Do I need this AP class?

I’m supposed to be taking AP US history this coming school year but I’ve looked at the syllabus and I’m not sure if I want to take it, the teacher left a bunch of summer homework and I’m going to be pretty busy. So I want to know if this class is necessary or can I just take a regular US history class because I’m pretty sure I’m not going to major in anything that has to do with history when I go to college.

It depends.

It depends upon what colleges you are targeting. It depends upon what other classes you are taking (indeed, it depends upon what your 4 year schedule looks like). It depends if you have already taken (or will take) APWH or APEH.

So not enough info given to help.
