If you've taken AP Stats and/or AP Modern Euro..

<p>Which is easier test-wise? </p>

<p>This would be wonderful to know.</p>

<p>What is AP Modern Euro?</p>

<p>[AP:</a> European History](<a href=“AP European History – AP Students | College Board”>AP European History – AP Students | College Board)</p>

<p>AP Stats in my opinion, and I’m a humanities/history kid. I suck at math. Stats is just… easy. I’m pretty sure it’s considered as such among math people too.</p>

<p>I am a math person and stats w/o calculus sickens me. ^^ So I think I’ll stick to Euro.</p>

<p>Statistics, by far. If you’re an English person, you’ll be good because you’ll need to “read to succeed.” If you’re a math person, you’ll be good because you’re probably good at doing everything on your calculator. If you’re good at both, this will be the easiest class in your life. Believe me.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>And majors in university that require statistics often require a calculus-based course anyway.</p>

<p>ucbalumnus, I had not heard of most majors requiring calculus based statistics. This has a multivariable calculus prerequisite. I am interested in what these majors are (besides of course math or statistics).</p>

<p>For example, UC Berkeley majors that require calculus-based statistics (though not necessarily multivariable calculus based):</p>

<p>Exactly. I think that calculator-chugging stats are incredibly boring, and I would rather actually challenge myself to learn about other nations/cultures/philosophies rather than reiterate what I have already done in my past three years of high school. </p>

<p>I guess I have just answered my question. :smiley: Feel free to argue with me though.</p>

<p>I got a 4 on Stats (2010) and a 5 on AP Euro (2010). Overall, I’m not sure. I thought Euro was reallyyy easy. I remember telling my friend that I could have taken a nap after writing my DBQ and still have gotten a 5. I felt like I had seen the multiple choice questions before (on my teacher’s quizzes and from the review book I used 2 days before the test, which was the AP Achiever). Although, keep in mind that I really like history and I had an awesome teacher and an genuine interest in the subject.
For stats, I definitely think I could have gotten a 5 if I hadn’t taken the test with the wrong mindset. I had a really good teacher and he really prepared us well. All of the mc questions on our tests were from ap exams, and for each test we had 3 real FRQs. This was all done in a 50 minute time period, and they were curved - But, back to the point of the matter: On test-day I kind of told myself that I probably wouldn’t do well on the FRQs, and therefore I kinda left a couple of parts on question 6 un-answered, when in reality the question wasn’t that hard. But yeah. yeah…haha, I hope that helps.</p>

<p>Summary: AP Euro exam is/was (it could change each year) easier, but the Stats exam isn’/wasn’t that challenging</p>

<p>Side-side note: I didn’t do any major preparing for the exams; I just took the classes and reviewed the weekend/2-3 days before the exams.</p>

<p>@supergrover911 - Are you a math/science or humanities person? Have these classes been beneficial to you in college? Thanks for the reply, it was quite informative.</p>
