Answer 1

Hi

I am an upcoming junior too. However, I took physics last year and it was easy so don't worry about that. From what I have heard from other juniors is that AP us history is difficult, but if you take the time to do all your assignments you won't have a problem.  

Answer 2

trigonometry on a scale of 1 to 10 will be about a 7.  All you have to do is learn the fundamental formulas and its pretty smooth sailing after that.  Latin depending on your comprehension may come easy or hard it depends how well you grasp new languages.

Physics will be a little more challenging than the other subjects just because of its complex and tedious nature, don't forget you are using math and science at the same time when you  study physics.  On a scale of 1 to 10 its about a 9.  US history will be pretty straight forward, just know major figures and icons on the time period you will be studying.  It's about a 6 on the scale.

Answer 3

i am going to be a senior and this past year, i took 2 AP classes, and honestly, it was a lot of work.

AP classes are always filled with tons of work.

just dont fall behind on your assignments and you should be good.

as for AP US, its not one of the harder APs.

Answer 4

I just graduated from High School. I took 11 AP's in total I started in sophomore year with World History. Then Junior year was murder for me because that was when I took Chem. Bio. Calculus BC, Statistics, Psychology, and U.S. History. In my senior year I took Spanish Language, gov't, Macro and Micro and English. I scored all of them 4 or higher. To survive them you really have to study more than what they teach you. Study on your own. I would recommend taking a book out of the library at the beginning of January and start to study from there. I did it and the results were great.I have friends who crammed and got like a 1 or 2.. Physics is pretty decent, well for me it was. You have to pay lots of attention, be able to understand or ask questions. You have to sometimes study for yourself, you have to be independent, its really hard to work with other people (I"m not saying not to) because its pretty hard to rely on them, this is you your future its your money (for tuition). Good Luck

US History from scale 1-10   i'll give it a 8 ...ok....physics the same...study hard =)

Answer 5

I am not in highschool yet but I bet it's really hard.  

Answer 6

i havent taken it, but i have alot of friends who have.

At my school, the teacher is really good, but the courseload is crazy.

Good luck!

Answer 7

APUSH was definitely challenging because not only is it about memorizing facts and dates, it's about connecting all those events and forming them into one big history picture. my advice is to OUTLINE as much as possible, know the presidents and what they did during their terms, and remember big concepts and eras. it was hard, but i managed to pull off a 4 on the AP test! on a scale of 1-10, it was an 8
