<p>Im not sure whether or not to take it because right now im a junior who takes Pre-ap us history(my school doesnt offer ap us history...)
The reason i wanted to take one is because i am only taking one ap test this year(english). I felt like it would atleast help my college app. a little to have another ap test under my belt. What do yall think??</p>
<p>APUSH has a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay different curriculum from prep US.</p>
<p>It will take a TON of studying on your part, but you might be able to manage a three or so if you get bookin' on it.</p>
<p>Best of luck. :D</p>
<p>Yeah, today i went to the library and loaded up on books, lol. The main reason i felt i could do it, because my english AP class is so tough and the teacher is really good so we do a lot of history in there(more than in Pre-ap us history!). The English ap prep also helps me with the essays on the history exam. Thanks</p>
<p>Take it. I took the AP class and exam last year, and the class lectures weren't really that useful. I learned 99% of the material by reading the textbook. Get a textbook, and start reading.</p>
<p>Take it. All you have to lose is some time and a relatively small amount of money. I took it at the end of last year in honors American history and a little bit of studying and got a 3. If I had studied more I think I could have gotten a 4.</p>
<p>Do yall think this provides any advantage in college apps and in general? the fact that I didnt even take an AP course, but i still took the AP test and (assuming) did well. I dont want to put hard work into something that will be worthless…</p>
<p>AP US History is the most popular AP subject of all. If you are applying to a selective college almost all of your competition will have taken the exam. So, yes you should study hard and take the exam.</p>
<p>Old Hickory is right. You should take the test.</p>
<p>Old Hickory, we could really use your bank-taming expertise right about now.</p>
<p>I will KILL THE BANK</p>
<p>umm sorry guys, not really gettin the “bank” thing…explain please?</p>
<p>If you decide to take it, make sure you get a review book, preferably AMSCO or REA.</p>
<p>Haha the “bank” thing just has to do with President Jackson whose nickname was “Old Hickory”. He didn’t like the (2nd?) national bank and he vowed to “kill it”.</p>
