Reading Assignment for AP US history

Question

well..this coming school year ill be taking AP U.S. History.

We were given a massive amount of reading to do over the summer in this huge textbook (which i would love to avoid) so i recently purchased Guide to AP U.S. History created by Sparknotes which seems to have an outline on the all chapters of the actual textbook. i havnt really started it

and i was just wondering if it is any good? cause i know Sparknotes can sometimes be -iffy

and if should i return it and get a better outline?

Answer 1

If you don't want to do the work, you really shouldn't be signing up for AP classes.  The whole idea of AP is to challenge yourself.  This won't work in college, BTW.

Answer 2

I think you should do the right thing and read the book assigned instead of taking the easy way out.
