A fun, interesting class, though that might depend on your teacher and your love for history >.> It's not as hard as people say, the outlines are not a burden if you do the pages the teacher assigns that same day, and not the night before they're due -_- A word of advice - if you don't like history, don't take that class because you will be bored there and will also bore your classmates with your negative atmosphere. xD

Get the AP World Historymug. The best month of the year when all of the great Black activists, athletes, inventors, scientists, scholars, musicians, poets, authors, architects, explorers, etc throughout history get the most recognition for their achievements. Africans have richest history in the world, as they are the ones who brought Mathematics, Science, Language, Architecture, Cosmetics, Art, Spirituality, Folklore, and so many other things to the world. And as for Black Americans, we are the ones who built America, and not just through free labor via slavery. It's so important for people to learn about historical figures such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X, Lewis Latimer (inventor of the carbon filament used in light bulbs), Benjamin Banneker (scientist, Almanac author, and farmer who built the first American clock and assisted in creating the city layout for Washington D.C.), Juan Garrido (first person in the Americas to cultivate Wheat), Garrett Morgan (inventor of the Traffic Light and the Gas Mask), W.E.B. DuBois (Pan Africanist civil rights activist who co-founded the NAACP), Kenneth Dunkley (inventor of 3D Glasses), George Crum (inventor of Potato Chips), and so many other monumental figures! Coincidentally, this month corresponds with many other events like National Heart Month, the Super Bowl, the NBA All Star Game, the Oscars, the Grammy's, and Valentine's Day.

Get the Black History Monthmug. A course that although it claims to be about the world, is really all about China and Japan. The class is as good as the teachers make it. The test, on the other hand, is about how many essays you can write in the shortest time period.
If you want to do good, study general topics, not fact-for-fact. I did this and got a 5 on the AP exam. You do not need to be a nerd to pass this exam, nor spend all your time studying, i spent 30 mins every few days starting in April.

Get the AP US Historymug. Black History Month, n.
1. A sorely needed opportunity to raise awareness of the history of black Americans among people of all colors.
2. The shortest month of the year.

Black History Month is important not just for Black people to understand their own people's centuries-long struggle for liberation, but for all people to recognize the problems that institutionalized racism and skin color privilege has caused and continues to cause in American society.

Get the Black History Monthmug. An amazing class that may steal your soul but is SOOOO worth it because it gives you a perspective on the country unlike anything else.
Oh, and you won't die if your GPA drops a little...don't be stupid and drop it because you are worried about your GPA. After this class you can accomplish anything with ease. No lie.

Get the AP US Historymug. Undoubtedly the '04 Yankees, characterized by such players as Slappy, Jason "Pumped-up-on-steroids" Giambi, and the Skeet covered Jeet
After almost swallowing several of their teammates cocks, and then blowin a 3-0 lead in the ALCS, the '04 Yankees deserve the title, "the biggest chokers in history"

Get the the biggest chokers in historymug. The best thing you can do is read review books. I don't know why this class is so hard for some of you guys, I hardly studied for the AP exam and got a 5, just like the other 11% of kids who took the test that didn't suck fag ballz.
Get two review books. One isn't enough. Two ensures that you're absorbing two different view points, and the two different sets of info helps a lot.
READ THE FUCKING REVIEW BOOKS. MEMORIZE THAT SHIT.
Seriously you better fucking know this, it's your own country assholes. It's really not difficult. I didn't even pick up the textbook, I just spent an hour cramming before each unit test, and three hours cramming before the AP exam, and ended up with a 3.9 UW in the class, and an easy 5 on the exam.
To all you retarded definers, stop psyching out stupid freshmen with your shit definitions. This is one of the easiest APs, you've been spoonfed this propaganda since pre-school. Suck it up.
