AP Art History or AP Psychology?

Is AP US history really hard? What about AP art history?

• I'm currently a sophomore and next semester I'm going to be picking out my schedule for next year. Right now I am taking AP Euro, and I have a 97 (without having to study much in advance, just the night before). I heard that AP US history was hard, but would I be fine with it? Also would I do okay in AP art history? Some people at my school told me it was killer, but everyone also said that about AP Euro. Also next year I'm going to be taking a lot of weighted courses (AP Psychology, AP Gov, AP Lang, French IV, and AP Environmental). Would this be to much?

• Answer:

  In my opinion it's mainly hard if you aren't a fast reader and take too many difficult classes to have time to read the textbook and take notes. Your classes aren't really that difficult, so it might not be all that bad. It's a lot of memorization though. However, I am both a slow reader and taking many very difficult AP classes, so it sucks for me, but outlines online are pretty helpful, although it's harder, in my opinion, to recall facts by reading outlines.
