At my CA public school, we read the first 8 chapters of our textbook over the summer, and we took a test our second week of school. The first month was review of summer work and then a test and DBQ. Homework for us was merely busy work, but at times we did have rapid fire tests (DBQs, LEQs, SAQs, etc). I read 41/46 chapters in my textbook, and most was usually the night before a reading quiz. I struggled in the beginning, but I got used to it as my brain started to adjust to the influx of material. I strongly recommend gathering a close group of around 4 people so you can all study together and make notes. I was never good at MC tests (highest score was 94 on my first semester final) but I did get better at the writing tasks (from failing to acing DBQs) as the year went on. Needless to say, despite my B first semester, I did get a 5 on the AP test and an A in the class second semester.
