ap exam is easy provided your teacher is good

it all boils down to your teacher, thats all

fun class

Cool, you take vietnamese? What school do you go to? I don't think many schools have that language as a choice.

I took AP art history and loved loved loved it, but it was really really really hard. I managed an A, *phew* and I have yet to take the exam, (May12) so I can't tell you how that is yet. But I've gotten strong 5s on all the practice exams so far, and my teacher wasn't that great. (she's a total ditz but we loved her anyway)I agree with Guyute that a lot of it comes down to the teacher, but a lot of it is also how much you love the subject (even if you come to detest Carolingian Art) and how much you dedicate yourself. If you can, ask the teacher how much of the grade is based upon essays, (the more the better) and that can help you decide if you want to take it. Personally, I would strongly recommend Art History, it was my favorite subject this year. I'll post after the exam and let you know how hard it was after having a scatter-brained teacher.

I am hoping (more like praying) that the AP test will be a sinch since my teacher never gives less than a B to anyone and has never given us homework and therefore, I have never read that gigantic art hist book of ours.
My friend took my class last year and got a 4 without doing anything (seriously nothing) until the 24hrs before the test.
keeping my fingers crossed!
