Ease of AP World History?

What's up peeps? Just wondering if anyone here has had experience with AP World History and if it's considered an easy AP class? I'm planning my schedule for next year and would love to know.

Hey there! I've had experience with AP World History, and I can definitely provide some insight into the course. "Easy" might be a bit subjective, since the perceived difficulty can vary depending on an individual's interests and strengths.

AP World History covers a wide range of topics and time periods, so there's a lot of material to go through in just one school year. Out of the AP history courses, many would argue that AP World History falls in the middle in terms of difficulty, compared to AP U.S. History and AP European History.

The exam itself consists of two sections: multiple-choice questions and free-response questions (including one document-based question). You'll need strong reading comprehension, analytical skills, and the ability to make connections and comparisons between civilizations and historical periods. Moreover, the essays and document-based questions will require you to be proficient in written expression and organizing your thoughts.

However, if you have a genuine interest in history and are willing to put in the time and effort to keep up with the material, it can be an enjoyable class. Also, if you have a great teacher and utilize available resources (e.g., textbooks, review books, online forums, or peers), you can tackle the content effectively and excel in the class.

Ultimately, whether AP World History is considered easy or challenging will depend on your personal strengths and interests. I'd recommend talking to current students who have taken the class or a school counselor to get additional insights tailored to your situation. Good luck!
