<p>I still think you can do it. There are no labs, equations or problem solving. </p>
<p>If you have taken any American History in elementary and middle school, which most of us do (over and over again), you can do this. It’s just memorisation and the ability to write essays. If you had a decent middle school history curriculum you probably remember a lot of the basic subject areas:</p>
<ol>
<li>Pre-Columbian Cultures</li>
<li>European Exploration/colonial period </li>
<li>American Revolution</li>
<li>US Constitution (will help on the Govt. exam too)</li>
<li>Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Marshall Court</li>
<li>Jacksonian era</li>
<li>Westward expansion</li>
<li>North/South - Civil War</li>
<li>Reconstruction
etc…upto the modern day. I think you get the idea.<br></li>
</ol>
<p>If you don’t remember anything of value from History, maybe it’s not a good choice for you. But if some of this stuff rings a bell and you enjoy history and are willing to study, then you can do it.</p>
<p>The bonus is that AP Govt. will be easier too. “Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), sure, I know that.”</p>
