i came into college a semester ahead because of AP classes. homework in general is not really important from what i've found out. you can always find ways to keep your grade high even without doing homework. just tell your teacher that you dont have to do it in college, so why do it now if an AP class is supposed to be a college level class. plus, by taking the AP class now, thats one less class you have to take in college, thus creating more skiing time.

I took AP US and at least at my school, it wasn't too bad. The most reading I had to do was maybe an hour every night.

Don't worry, APUSH won't take time out of your skiing. it's a lot of work, but not enough to effect that

that would be such a hard class schedule for a sophomore, by the time you were a senior you would be taking classes at teh local college because your school doesn't offer anything higher

I'd say it's worth it. I almost wish I'd taken more. You can get a lot of college credit and even if you don't it will prepare you a lot more for classes when you do get to college.

ya, the teachers always try to scare the kids away and make their class sound really hard because they wanna sound tuff. AP US really isnt that hard at all. dont worry.

I took AP history last year and all I can say is be prepared to read just about an entire 1000pg text book and be prepared to write 1-2 essays a week preparing you for the AP exam.

If your school has them, take them. You'll have a better chance of getting into somewhere good.

I took AP history, but it was the only AP course in my high school. Yeah, my high school sucked.

I still got into the college of my choice, though.
