Are AP classes over-exaggerated?

Metaphorical

I am in AP US History and, at least for me, the course requires a lot of dedication and focus. Simply not doing homework for a couple days can significantly damage you in the long run because the class, although is a full year course, moves quick and covers a wide range of material.
HOWEVER, if you are a person who can stay focused and get things down without distractions, classes like AP US History will not be what some students call “terror and sleepless nights”.
Even if you don’t like history, like I felt at the beginning of the year, you can still be successful as long as you are hardworking and persistent as @above said.

Also, I never took AP WORLD or AP EURO, but I have heard that there are pretty noticeable level gaps between those courses.
