My School Doesn't Even Teach Euro Hist.!

<p>I really really to take European History(because I LOVE history) but my school doesn't even offer that course!! Do you think it's possible to self- study Euro and get a 4 on the AP exam?!?</p>

<p>My school only offers 14 APs....!! The students at our school are known for getting good grades and everything. It's located in a really weathly community, but I guess the city puts more money into making the city pretty than for offering better courses in the high school. And I look at the other high schools located in less affluent area and they offer all these diff. languages and courses!! Do you think it will be a problem to transfer schools?</p>

<p>Sure you can self study AP Euro. My teacher didnt teach much this past year(her last year) and I still earned a 5. Basically studied on my own the whole year.</p>

<p>Fourteen AP's is a lot. You should be glad.</p>

<p>I love it when people whine about only having 2,3,4,14 APs. You should be glad, cause thats 14 more AP's than my school had. (not that i would've taken those classes anyway)</p>

<p>8 AP's, and no AP Euro history. And I've heard of schools that have less AP classes... The quote "only 14 AP's" makes me sad:(</p>

<p>Haha I'm sorry. I feel so privileged now. I don't mean to whine, but 14 APs at a wealthy school compared to 22 APs at a not-so-wealthy school is very odd. i didn't realize that some high schools don't offer APs at all.</p>

<p>14 APs! I think my school offers like 10 or something, but I'm taking 4. Unless you are very smart and in some accelerated program here, the earliest you can take an AP is Junior year at our school. At least, I've never seen or heard of a sophomore or below taking any APs.</p>

<p>My school only offers 9. You are lucky to have more options.</p>

<p>But remember that a bunch of underperforming schools offer AP classes with crappy teachers. The students don't learn anything, so almost none of them take the AP exams.</p>

<p>Also, AP classes can be viewed as a hassle for high schools. They have to do all the paperwork for their students and work around the AP schedule. Underperforming schools where students don't take many AP's can afford to reserve one room for testing for two weeks, whereas affluent schools would have to meet the (higher) demands of more people.</p>

<p>It's like quality over quantity.</p>
