I found apush to be a lot easier for me because everything was a sort of consistent story set mostly in the same place. However, my apush teacher taught through ppts/lecture and videos. AP world was extremely difficult for me bc even though I really enjoyed the material, Cornell’s over a almost 20 pg chapter were due every Friday and it killed me. It also got confusing because whap doesn’t have the same linear timeline as apush bc u r jumping between locations. I’m really glad I took both but WHAP was so much time consuming than apush ( but a got a 4 on both exams)

I took Apush last year, with only the dbq as the test. Heimler’s DBQ formula and videos are what made me get a 5. Seriously. It helps sooo much to have a formula for the thesis and a structure for the essay before you begin, because then you don’t have to think about how you’re going to fit in all the points. You get more time to focus on the history and crafting the best argument.

For most people who take ap world first when you take apush it will be such a relief off you shoulder because you’ll remember what you learn from ap world about America around the same time it just adds to familiarity. For example remembering things like the 3 Gs helps and the Colombian exchange, triangle trade, and cross Atlantic trade are all things you’ll get a sense of oh I heard of that and remember

[@sophianguyen9310]

I think the part of the reason people struggle in these courses b/c they are too afraid to ask for help. I struggled in ap world for most of the year b/c I was scared to ask for help coming from a virtual year. My teacher was honestly sooo nice, but his teaching style was disorganized, and I was intimidated by him, since I can be shy sometimes. By the end of February, I realized: hey something I’m doing is not working, maybe ask for help. As soon as I started asking for help (staying after school to go over MCQ and asking questions almost everyday), the struggle started to become more bearable, and my grade was skyrocketing. Even though I thought I was driving my teacher nuts by emailing him often and bothering him about content from September, they are there for YOU and they see your hard work. You don’t have to suffer alone. That was one of the lessons I’ve learned from this year as I am going to APUSH.

Hey Heimmler’s History! You cover both wonderfully, and even though I would love you to cover APUSH as it is somewhat harder and I am taking it next year, I can’t help but feel bad for all of those freshman and sophomores that are going to have to take their first few units of AP World online. It is completely up to you but as much as I would like more APUSH review, AP World students and teachers are going to have a very difficult time these first few months so I think there should probably be some AP World. On the other hand, there are always your Unit reviews for them to look at, and there is not as much APUSH content. Sorry if I’m confusing😂.

[@jackyluo]

Evaluate to the extent of which AP World is harder in comparison to APUSH Context: 1 Heimler talks about how people, especially AP World students, ask him if AP World is harder or if APUSH is harder Thesis: 1 Heimler says although AP World likely harder for some becuase it's their first AP class, ultimately it's subjective, depending on the teacher they have, if you're a big picture or detailed person, and whether you took AP World first or APUSH first. The thesis is historically accurate because these classes are available only within the past 100 years. Example: 1 Heimler talks about his experiences with a teacher who taught straight out of the textbook. He also talks about how the normal process for most schools take AP World first then APUSH. Support: 1 Heimler uses his personal story of a teacher that taught straight out of the textbook to show that the teacher's teaching style made it an "awful experience". He also talks about how taking AP World first might be harder because it's the first exposure to DBQs, LEQs, SAQs, and stimulus-based MCQs, where as if you take APUSH after AP World, it might seem easier becuase you're already exposed to the structure of the test. Uses historical reasoning: 1 Heimler uses causation, talking about how being a big picture thinker leads to a favorabililty toward AP World, while being a more detailed thinker leads to the favorability toward APUSH. He also compares the different styles of AP World and APUSH, one specialized in the big picture and the other in more detailed information, respectively. Complexity: 1 Heimler talks about how whatever his high school biology teacher's teaching style might've been influenced by whatever she was going through during that time. He also modifies the argument to be more of a subjective approach than a definitive ranking of difficultly. man literally answered the question in the form of an LEQ and knocked all the points out of the park. spoken like a true history teacher. I decided to summarize his answer like this because the nuance and reasoning he provided sounded a lot like the essays we write in AP World. (I structured the question to be "How much harder is AP World than APUSH" becuase this question, as said by Heimler, is mostly asked by AP World students.)

Either way, both are difficult courses and I wish everyone luck in taking these courses because it is a RIDE of both cynicism and optimism. And tons of WTFing all over.

[@monke7156]

If you have been even remotely interested in American History before APUSH then the class is much easier than people make it out to be.

[@samanthacamire6152]

I think World is harder because there is no linear timeline, you just sort of jump all over the world and have to magically connect everything on the test.

my school has AP gov and politics first in freshman year, APUSH in sophomore year, and WHAP junior year. I can't say anything about WHAP, and unfortunately I've heard that my teacher for that class isn't going to be great, but at least for gov and us, gov is a really good introductory AP course. it's new and it's hard, but it's not so overwhelming like us would be. I also had a good teacher. going into us with a good teacher, prior ap experience, and an open mindset is really the best way to approach the course. if a prior ap course isn't possible, as long as your teacher is good I'm sure you'll be fine.

Couldn't agree more...

I don’t like how general AP World is bc it makes me feel like I’m not learning enough, or like I’m missing something. I haven’t taken APUSH yet, but it sounds more aligned with my strengths as a learner. I feel like I naturally remember specific details, especially if I’m already familiar with them.

I've taken both and got a 4 on both exams. I personally loved AP World so it was easy for me, but AP World is harder because it is more information to know, but APUSH is much more specific.

Helpful video!

My apush teacher was really good! So it made apush easier for me (plus I found apush super interesting cause of Hamilton haha)

AP euro gets left out because we all know it is the hardest

As a junior who just took the ap exam, I’d say that APUSH is much easier. With ap world, there’s so many places that you have to remember and important events during the same time periods can get all twisted and messy, but with APUSH, chances are you more than likely know, or have at the very least heard of the names or people that are in the cirrcullum. I’d also HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend using the APUSH mnemonics (quizlets) it helped me more than anything on the test. If you can remember those as you go, the course will be much easier.

To be fair, Ap world was literally EVERYTHING LIKE EVERYTHING. I think a push would be easier cause we’ve been learning about US for year so you already have a basis. But for world we literally don’t know anything💀

[@parthshah7420]

As someone who is going into senior year and took both exams, I would say APUSH because it has way more specific material, whereas world had many broad connections and overviews

[@heimlershistory]

Yeah that’s how I think about it too...
