Hello, I signed up for AP Gov but now I am not sure if I should go into Honors instead because I know I wont take the AP test. I dont really like history that much either. I only chose AP gov because of the weighted GPA. How is AP government? Thank you
Why won’t you take the AP exam?
Are you taking US Gov, Comparative Gov, or both?
I took both this year, and there really wasn’t that much history in them (to my disappointment). Sure you need to know basic history to get context for the changes in governmental structure, the the class as a whole focuses more on how a country is run than its history.
I plan to move into another country for college.
Only AP gov/politics full year. The class sounds somewhat interesting and way better than us history. World history and US were really dreadful.
Honestly, even AP is what you make of it. If you’re willing to put in the effort that it takes then go for it!
and why not take the AP exam? It’s worth a shot especially if you can get a college credit!
And if you get below a two then nobody is gonna care. Like my math teacher use to say,
You miss every shot you don’t take!
