<p>taking AP art history junior year and moving APUSH to senior year?</p>
<p>I HATED APAH! Grrr! But I was just a stupid freshman..... I made an A! But I made a 3. -_-</p>
<p>I'd say forget APAH... but if you want to take it... junior year is probably best No one needs to try to learn that much useless stuff senior year.</p>
<p>How is that idiotic? I find nothing idiotic in taking your social studies classes in the order you wanted. Out of curiousity, though, have you done Government/Economics, or are you planning to?</p>
<p>I think having a grade and an AP score for APUSH would look better on your app. Besides, Art History is some boring stuff.</p>
<p>doesn't really matter...</p>
<p>Both.</p>
<p>(10char)</p>
<p>AP US history is the most taken of all the APs...so a 5 on that test means more i think than on art history.<br>
At my school AP US is the hardest class to get an A in. But US history is required for juniors....either normal US or AP...so we don;t have a choice.
I thoroughly enjoyed AP US though. It is a really good class!
SO i would take that if i were u</p>
<p>see, my school won't let me take both at the same time. at A/E/D, ya can't take more than 6 courses at a time. anyone have positive things to say about APAH? or is it really just boring stuff? i am a total history nerd and also an artistic minded person... would that mean APAH is good for me, or am i going down the wrong path? would colleges see my postponement of APUSH til senior year as slackery? ahhh!</p>
<p>^As slackery? No. I know a lot of schools that don't even let you take it until senior year.
A lot of schools don't even offer the course anyway.
Take it in whatever order you want.</p>
<p>i would try to make your senior year as light as possible.
believe me, i wish i had.</p>
<p>Both are very important classes. I don't know about the admissions stuff, but I can tell you why they are so important.</p>
<p>AP Art History is important as it exposes you to the vitality of the human being - the ability to create such majestic and beautiful paintings, design amazing cathedrals and temples, and make physical the sculpture envisioned in one's mind. Truly, it is an essential course if you are to understand the strength of the human spirit and the faith of the human soul.</p>
<p>AP US History is important because you obviously live (or maybe not) in the most powerful country in the modern era. US History is so haunting; the history of the US is basically the history of freedom. The US is one of the first modern nations to establish the concept of universal freedom. By understanding the chronology and the amount of human strength it took to accomplish such freedom, citizens learn how to better our own freedoms. When you study American history, you study essential supreme court cases, slavery, the beginnings of freedom, and the formation of modern western thought processes. This is the reason why it is evidently the most popular exam taken.</p>
<p>If you are looking at difficulty, art history is more straightforward and extensive, as it is more rote memorization, whereas us history is more intensive and has more open-ended analysis.</p>
<p>If you end up with good grades and test scores, it's smart.</p>
<p>If you **** up your GPA and fail the test, then it's idiotic.</p>
<p>I don't see anything wrong with it. Neither smart nor idiotic IMO.</p>
<p>cool, thanks guys. i think i'm gonna go for it since my gpa needs the boost and i think my shots at a great grade are higher in APAH, just knowing myself.</p>
<p>plus, i really wanna take the course!! :D</p>
