should I take AP US History?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I'm a sophomore and apparently APUSH is available for me next year. I don't know if I should take it. Just for a background check, I'm planning to take liberal arts major in college. And I dont know if APUSH will help an arts course (like journalism, mass communications, etc). Here's how I weigh my pros/cons.</p>

<p>Pro: Might (or might not) help in application for liberal arts program in college</p>

<p>Con: The teacher's REALLY HARSH
Workload is HEAVY
It's..history
I'm not from the US
I have other APs to focus on
The AP test might be hard..</p>

<p>help please?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t take it just to look good to colleges; if you do that, you won’t enjoy the course and you likely won’t do well in it. Personally, I love APUSH (seriously, favorite class ever) so I would recommend it, but it sounds like you don’t think it’s the right choice for you so I don’t think you should take it.</p>
