I am psyched to study it…and its my senior year! ;-)</p>
Kind of nervous though as I heard the teacher for my high school is really hard. Plus, its an AP so there is a double-edged sword 
Oh well.
I like history so itll be fun…senior year is approaching in two weeks for me
Sent from my Desire HD using CC App</p>
im so pumped for this class. finally, a challenging history course. haha</p>
I’m probably going to self study if time permits… and I’m excited! :)</p>
@treating: Agreed x 1000. I took apush this year and I really didn’t have much of a passion for it, so I didn’t do too well.</p>
First Euro Test of the year=Success! I made a 98! We started Renaissance and Reformation today. How are everyone else’s classes going?</p>
Took this class as a sophomore, got a 5. It really is not as hard as is advertised…the writing can be tedious at time, but if learn how it should be structured, it becomes much easier. Make sure that WHATEVER book you have, you actually READ out of it…i missed at least 10 MC questions because i did not read (thank god i’m good at essays). Also, make sure you take a LOT - and i mean A LOT - of practice tests and quizzes and what not before the AP Test. [AP</a> European History Homework Assignment Page](<a href=“http://www.historyteacher.net/APEuroCourse/APEuroCourseMainPage.htm]AP”>AP European History Homework Assignment Page) is a fantastic way to get a lot of practice in both during the year and when preparing for AP. Make sure you also pratice out of AP books, but choose one that synthesizes all info…I liked Barron’s, but DO NOT use REA, it’s just too much material to go over.</p>
Also, I do not agree with the fact that you must have a passion for Euro in order to succeed…I absolutely ABHOR European History and thought the entire class was boring. With some extremely well-planned studying, anyone can get a 5.</p>
@shrey96, perhaps that’s true, but the class will be a much more dreaded experience and you’ll have to work harder than somebody who likes the subject and it’ll come naturally to them. </p>
my textbook hasn’t come yet, but when it does, I’m going to start reading and take notes. I’m jealous of people who have euro classes in their schools. @evan h 14, NICE job on your test!</p>
@writingdog – thank you! It was a completely surprising score, but at least my studying paid off! It was the easiest test of the year, though, so I’m sure it’ll be the highest I score I get all year. :P</p>
I took this last year as a sophomore and I got a five. </p>
Tough class, late nights taking notes, but amazing experience, I must say. I am not much of a history buff, never into remembering dates, people, battles etc. However I think the key to getting a five is paying attention in class and DOING THE NOTES YOURSELF!!! There is never a substitute for reading the textbook (or review or what have you). Sometimes there are those little facts that are in the textbook that you might not take as notes, but on the exam, one question may jog your memory, or you can use it as support on FRQs. </p>
Also, key studying tip is to make everything a story instead of facts listed after each other. I gave some famous people little personalities (all those crazy Russian czars) (and annoying Frederick I/II, Frederick William I, II) that were easier to remember than cold hard facts. In the Crimean War I had countries snapping back at each other like high school girls. You get what I mean. </p>
Overall, a very content heavy class. I do not agree with a previous statement about passion for the subject (because I certainly didn’t…cursing the course out often enough), you need passion for driving yourself to your limits. I defiantly learned a lot more about myself and my limits, then I can remember euro facts, but the experience will help me for my heavy load this year. </p>
Long post, I know, but finally I feel qualified to GIVE OUT advice instead of stealing all your good ideas all the time :)</p>
Taking euro as a junior, like the class - very interesting</p>
taking it and its very interesting, not terribly difficult but time consuming</p>
My favorite Classes are Chem and Euro. </p>
I love the subject and my teacher is extremely funny, entertaining and nice. Not to mention (Sorry, I just had to say it) kind of cute. So it isn’t THAT hard to pay attention in class, and the subject is SO good. Who wouldn’t want to learn about Peter Abelard? (Okay, you HAVE to google him if you don’t know/aren’t taking the class/don’t pay attention in class!) </p>
Anyway, I am excited about this year, and…excited about Euro in general. So, yay for Euro nerds! 
</p>
Plus, I’m a senior…so not too worried about the AP Exam. Just kidding! I will study for a 5 of course :)</p>
Good luck to people taking Euro, congrats to those who survived it, and urges for taking it to those who don’t currently. Great, informative, interesting class.</p>
I’m 16, a junior, and taking the course online. It’s definitely not as hard as I thought it would be, but the quizzes are MURDER :(</p>
Terribly worried about the exam :o</p>
LOL @treating yeah I’m taking AP Euro this year as a sophomore, I’m ALWAYS doing late-night readings & it’s so tiring!
But my teacher is the hardest history teacher at my school, so I have to do the reading or else I’d fail the class 
Are there any other prep books you guys suggest besides the Princeton one?</p>
^Modern European History. Took it last year with this book and an awesome teacher and got a 5.</p>
im taking this class, january-june. i have my test in may. which is the best? kaplan, PR, or barron for getting a 5?</p>
^ Modern European History + Princeton + Crash Course = 5.</p>
Here is a great website to help out anyone! It has hanks history tours and notes and quizzes to. Got a 5 no problem.

What’re y’all’s classes studying right now? I just had a test on German and Italian Unification, and I’m curious to see where my class is comparatively.</p>
