<p>@astults: I will definitely consider it. How was the work load? I will have 3 other AP’s, Honors US History and Honors Pre Calc at the same time. </p>
<p>The thing is I’m not a big history buff. I’m all about Math and Science and normally in History class I am about to die of boredom.</p>
<p>You should take whatever interests you… And gov cuz that’s important</p>
<p>@bassoonapus: Haha, I really don’t think I could stand another Gov’t class. I just finished Civics and Economics, and government was 90% of the class. </p>
<p>I have done a lot of thinking, and consulting with a friend at UNC Chapel Hill. We both agreed that I need a AP History class to make a well-rounded application. So I will do AP Psychology and either AP World or AP Euro.</p>
<p>Now there is just the issue of deciding between AP World and AP Euro. Hmmm</p>
<p>I personally find European History fascinating (yes, I’m probably a little biased) and it’s also a little easier to keep track of as most things happened within a relatively small area.</p>
<p>Most of what you’re taught in grade/middle-school is European and US History - you never learn about Asian or Indian history or anything like that, In World History, the majority of it is Asian, African, or global. You need to be familiar with all the Chinese dynasties, the Indian empires, various African societies, etc. These can be a little confusing because the average person will have never had any exposure to these ideas. But for the most part, the class is quite easy - simply because you only need to know very broad ideas for the exam. Like, very broad - you don’t even need to memorize any dates, just a timespan give or take a century or two. </p>
<p>I’m not a big fan of history, but for this reason I found this quite interesting. Some people don’t like it, and that’s okay. But for me, you hear about the Roman Empire and Christopher Columbus and Marco Polo and the US Revolutionary War and World War II throughout your entire life in middle and elementary school. You never hear about King Ashoka or Ibn Battuta or the Umayyad Caliphate or the Han dynasty - even though they had almost as much, if not more importance than many of the topics you see in standard US/European histories taught in most schools today.</p>
<p>But this is just concerning the “interestingness” (I don’t think that’s a word, haha) of the class. If you’re thinking about difficulty, just know that AP European History is probably more challenging than AP World History. That could be a bad thing or a good thing, depending on what you want.</p>
