I have the book "Inveting America." I can't seem to remember all the information in the book, and my teacher asks random information. Usually, my boyfriend reads the chapters we have to study for and he passes with flying colors! But if the test is hard, he'd probably get a B, but his score would be the highest in our period. Just goes to show just how important read that heavy, 1500 paged book is..

DBQ's.. well yea I stress about it.. but usually I write them while I'm in class.. THAT period.. when it was due in the beginning of class. My teacher always accepts them as if we turn them in on time, if we turn it in by lunch, regardless of whether we write it in ink or type it up. I hate history in general because I can't seem to remember much of the information.. But I try to pay attention in class as best as I can, and it really helps. I am one of the few who actually do all the work in my period. Everyone's lazy.

I agree with uninspiredfae:

Actually, taking it and failing it, getting something like a C , or not passing the AP exam will only make it worse for you on the college aps. Why not take something that's in your power to make an A in? Or atleast, take something more managable.

Take classes if you KNOW you'll actually try to learn something or at least try to get a B in. Getting a C in an AP class.. isn't even worth it. Is it true that if you got a C or lower in an AP class, the grade doesn't even count as a B, but remains a C? You know what I mean? Since AP classes are on a 5 point scale.. A C would still be a C, even in a regular class. Or well, at least that's what I heard from a teacher.
