<p>@OP and @Paintallthestuff:</p>
<p>I can’t tell you how your APUSH class will be at your school, but at mine the kids who had taken it also said it was the hardest class ever and to not take it if I could. It ended up being the easiest class for me that year and I also got one of the highest grades in the class. So, I’d say to take other students’ fears pretty lightly and to just pay attention really well so you don’t have to study as hard. IMO reading is optional if you can handle it.</p>
<p>That being said, the AP itself was also easy overall. I had to zoom while writing the DBQ/FRQs, but the multiple choice was quite easy in my opinion. So don’t be afraid! I’m sure you’ll do just fine.</p>
