So AP Euro's still offered? In my high school, my class was the last class that was given the option of choosing between Euro and World. I took Euro, but I had to take the World regents. After my year, my high school discontinued offering Euro so now in 10th grade you can only take AP World.
Euro was difficult at first. It was hard to get through the chapters, and I remember having difficulty almost deciphering it. My teacher was okay, someone you love, but not necessarily the greatest teacher. But anyway, between my own motivation and it getting a bit easier, and the Princeton Review book, I got a 4 on it, and am thrilled I got to take it instead of World.
But I took U.S. in 11th grade, and I found that *much* easier. The course, the material, the tests, and the AP itself.
AP lang scared me because I did *awful* on the multiple choice questions we practiced with. But I think an essay saved me that year to get me to a 4--we had to argue for or against entertainment. I wrote 6 pages on why it's good--then realized I had 20 minutes to write my argument analysis. If there wasn't a time limit, I could have easily made the argument 12 pages.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
