AP Exam

[Pakman]

I'm taking the AP US History Exam 2moro morning at 8:00 AM.

Anybody that has taken it before, please give me any tips/hints/ideas for the test. I currently SUCK at this, its tomorrow morning. I'm willing to study my ass off.

Our teacher sucked bad, we haven't even finished the 20th century yet. We barely got done with the WWII stuff. If you haven't taken an AP class/test before, let me tell you - its hard.

There's nothing to say but study study study. Also, get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast.

PS: Just a quick question, has anyone here taken AP Euro? I'm thinking about taking it next year but I've heard it's really hard, so I need some opinions.

I heard that it's easier than AP US History, but it's like an extra social studies class. Meaning that you will take Global History classes among the AP Euro class.

However you only take in for one-year, while US History you take for two.

I took AP Euro and got a 2 on the exam.

I'm taking AP Environmental Science on Tuesday.

It sucks I have to pay $83 for the exam though.

Is that good or bad?

2 is out of a 5. That is EXACTLY what I got on the practice APUSH (Advanced Placement United States History) test on sparknotes.

... And that sucks.

I think UT only takes 4's... i think. But I'm not counting it for college unless I get a 4, I'd rather take it again than bring my GPA down. Community colleges consider 3 to be good.

All I know is that in 11th grade a bunch of AP Euro kids migrated into my US History class. AP Euro is no joke,

How'd you do Pakman?

I called a 2 for me. Not good at all.

I didn't take it but I know a lot of people who did. Apparently less people pass the AP US History exam than pass the Bar Exam. All the kids in AP US History have been studying constantly for like 6 weeks, going to school on weekends to study, skipping days of school to study, etc. One of my friends spent like $80 on all these books and pre made note cards and fact sheet things all made specifically for studying for the AP test.

I could have been in AP US History but I wanted to drop an honors class after freshman year and I figure History is the least important/impressive to colleges and junior and senior AP history classes are insanely hard. I'm taking the AP English test on Wednesday or Thursday.
