<p>I was wondering if it was worth it to take AP US History my junior year. I heard from some people that you do lots of reading and essays but is it really hard? Please tell me your experiences with this class. Thanks!</p>
<p>I loved the class! at my school it is pretty difficult with a lot of reading, but it’s largely discussion based so it was really enjoyable! and once you get used to the testing/volume of reading it isn’t too bad. I’d ask some upperclassmen from your school what they thought of the teacher/class.</p>
<p>I took the class without a great passion for history and somewhat regret it. For one thing, at my school it is a two year course (Junior year- Honors US History, Senior Year- AP US History). For another, we are allowed a maximum of 3 Honors/AP per year, so there are classes I wish I could take but am not able to. However, I have gained great critical thinking and analytical skills that I have found useful. Also, I am able to pull random history facts in everyday conversations! I have taken a few practice AP’s and as far as the multiple choice goes, it can definitely be done.</p>
<p>If you truly enjoy history, take the course. If you are looking at it as just another AP class, consider something else.</p>
<p>Apush is not bad, its just pretty writing intensive.</p>
