So next year, I will be a junior. I am currently in Earth/Space Science, Youth Leadership, AP World History, Health, Spanish III. It is very, very easy. Last semester I had American Lit, PE, Chem (Part A was AP), and Algebra II. I currently have around a 3.6 cumulative GPA.

*Before you continue, CIS means college in the schools - it is an advanced program, but you do not have to test out of it like in an AP class.

Next year I want to take the following courses: CIS Animal Science, CIS Plant Science, AP Statistics, Youth Leadership, Biology, CIS Advanced Public Speaking -OR- a literature course, College Prep Composition, Agricultural Economics, Spanish IV, and I have to take a US History course. So I originally planned on doing CIS US History, but today, they said regular US History was required prior to doing AP. I love US History, and I think that it is fasciating. I want to be an ag teacher when I grow up.

So, should I do APUSH or regular US History? I am worried that I will overwhelm myself, but I am interested in US History, as I said. How much homework is there in that class? What makes it easy or hard to do? Finally, on average, how much homework/studying is required to succeed? Thanks.
