Is AP US hard, easy or easier when compared to AP Euro?

Question

I just receive my ap euro exam score and was glad I aced it with a 4. That being said will earning a high score for ap us exam be harder, easier, or just about the same difficulty when compared to the AP Euro exam?

Answer 1

APUSH, I thought, was harder because you have to know tiny, niggling details-- I took it this past year, and there were all of these things I'd never heard of that showed up on the test, though since _no one_ seems to know them you still might get a good score (I got a 4, to my surprise.)

Answer 2

well, i got a higher score on my ap euro exam and i thought the test/subject was waay easier for me.  the two tests are different the way they are graded and what you have learned.  if you like american history, you'll have easier time than ap euro exam.  but since you got a 4, you'll probably get at least a 3 or a better

Answer 3

If you live in the US, AP US will be MUCH easier. I didnt do well when I took Euro but the US was much better because we already had US history in previous years of school. Also, some things are just generally obvious because you understand American culture. My opinion, US is easier than Euro.

Answer 4

i think its eaiser because i grew up in paris

Answer 5

It depends what type of student you are. AP Euro is more focused on major themes in history (socialism, democracy, monarchy, etc), whereas AP US is more focused on small details (specific battles, generals, etc). For me, AP US was a lot easier...but I still got 5's on both.
