AP US HISTORY // US HISTORY (same class) First of all, the above courses are taught in the same class so if you signed up for regular American History, do yourself and tell guidance to change it to AP US History since that way your transcript will make you look better. Alright, so this course was amazing despite its difficulty. I enjoy history in the 20th century but still liked 1600-1960s history. The course includes many projects and has difficult tests and quizzes. There are few notes but lots of memorization needed. If you are planning to take APUSH, then this course is not enough. The final exam was very difficult with an average yield of 80%. There are a few essays required and I love how we can peer edit one another's essay unlike any other course.
