Should I drop APUSH or not.

It’s a very intense class. Two of my kids, both born and educated in the US their entire lives, dropped it. Both enjoyed their basic American history classes much more and neither regrets dropping it. Both kids are history lovers and both felt that APUSH was too taught to the test. My other son, OTOH, loved APUSH and got a 5 on the test. I agree with the above poster that APUSH presumes that students have had an exposure to US history that you may not have and that this will be a hindrance to doing well in the class. IF your goal is just to learn, stay but it sounds like your goal is to get an A, so drop down to the regular class. The pace will be slower and you will do better.
