[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did he take AP Gov last year?

APUSH is definitely harder, especially the exam, mainly because there's just a lot more material to cover. But AP Gov in 9th does provide a bit of an advantage, just because they know what to expect.

Even with AP Gov, APUSH can be a big adjustment at first because the readings are more dense. It took my kid a while to figure out what they were supposed to be getting from them. But they also had a very experienced APUSH teacher, which helped a lot.[/quote]

Yes, he took AP Gov and did ok. It's the amount of reading I'm concerned about (again, math kid). It's already been a lot in a couple of days. [/quote]

I teach APUSH - how much reading (and what types) have been assigned so far?

It is OK for kids to have an area of interest that they gravitate toward (and so their APs are skewed in that direction), but kids also have to be able to tolerate and get used to a certain amount of reading, etc. for college (even in STEM).  Give us a sense of how much is assigned and I can tell you whether it really is a lot or whether it is an amount that it would be good for him to get used to.[/quote]

Dp. Is reading and answering questions for 2 units a typical amount of one nights homework?
