Hey dude, I wouldn’t sweat APUSH too much. However, history does come easily to me, no idea why - I’m a STEM kind of guy…
But a big thing with APUSH is your teacher. A lot of AP classes you’ll hear people say, “I had an easy teacher and I got an A, but I got a 3 on the exam” or “my teacher was so hard, I got a B/C but got a 5 on the exam” This is especially true for APUSH.
Personally, I had a tough teacher who gave some difficult quizzes and made us work but I never really felt overwhelmed in the class. I stopped reading the textbook about halfway through the first quarter and I’ve been fine. Pay attention in class and take notes. I’ve maintained an A throughout the year and it looks like I’ll finish the year that way. Also I feel very strongly that I got a 5 on the exam.
One book that will get you to do well on the exam regardless of your teacher is the AMSCO book. Here’s a link to it:
