APUSH is a hard class if you haven't taken an AP History class before hand. It's not easy otherwise. Read the textbook and take good notes both in and out of class. Do well on the vocab quizzes because they are the grade boosters! The end-of-year-quizzes can either be a massive help or a massive pain, but they will prepare you for the AP test. AP Euro has open-note tests. If you are planning to do well on the AP test, you will need to brush up on the content yourself.

Borghoff makes learning history incredibly enjoyable. He gives you a minute at the beginning of each class to just take a breather. He cares about things that matter, but let me eat lunch every day for two years in his class. I took Euro for his lecturing and I didn't regret it!
