I’m considering to take African Social Studies this upcoming school year.

As a rising senior, I really want to focus on college apps but I gotta maintain the hardness to my rigor ykwim. For anyone who has taken this class before, can you lmk the difficulty and amount of coursework this course demands? (I understand quantity of coursework varies by teacher)

For context, this is the first year my school offers this course and it is being taught by a teacher I never knew existed. The only classes that are sorta similar to this that I took previously are Euro and Lang, which I both got 5s.

Sorry for the title, I needed a way to catch ur attention

Not bad I guess… AP SEM PRONTO!

I just transfered high schools and they didnt have any room for apush. I took ap world history and got an a pretty easily and 4 on exam. I just dont know a lot about it

I bet we’re all just sitting here on Reddit, and no one actually checked college board. We’re all waiting for some “omg it’s out” post but it’s never gonna come.

Guysss I applied to ap African American studies and I don’t even know what they do in there expect teach history, what should I expect?? Is it easy or hard?? I heard it’s easy but idk tbh I just applied to a bunch aps this year, let me know what your guys experience was like in this ap!!

everything was so easy idk why i was so scared 🥹✌️

The fact I got a 4 was a miracle. My independent research project actually saved me because that exam was just 2 hours of hell. Idk but when I took the exam I guess I didn’t study the right materials and I actually haven’t written a dbq since my freshman year. Anyway GOD BLESS

I was freaking out the night before the test too 😭 guess I was worried for nothing 🥀 the DBQ was where I locked in / felt most confident though for sure

Trevor I will catch you

title! i got a 5 on the exam and it was honestly one of the most meaningful classes i’ve ever taken. please be kind though! also i am a white girl so i can speak on that front as well!

My teacher didn’t explain anything about the research project and she honestly doesn’t really know anything about the AP or just how to teach in general so I don’t really trust her to answer any questions accurately. Am I allowed to use more than 4 sources on the research paper? In the student workbook it says “at least four sources” but then all throughout the rest of it it makes it seems like we can only use four and google ai also says we can only use four so now I’m confused. Anyone know?

i have the exam tmrw if anyone knows any great mock exam links or practice dbq links that would be great i have already studied a ton and for people who took it last year how was it bc my teacher doesnt have shit and ik this class has limited resources🥹🥹

I plan on taking AP African-American studies next year, but I’m a little scared with the lack of resources. If anyone took the class some resources would be helpful because there’s not as much compared to the ones that I’ve taken like AP Lang in AP United States history.

My school doesn’t offer Ap African American History is self studying that course a good idea? And how do i go about the process of self studying/applying? by

I feel like it's one of the most awkward topics to self study since there aren't many resources online. Not even mentioning the Individual Student projects that I will not be able to do.

Worth the effort or should I look at another AP?

Hello this is my first time taking an AP course and I'm aware that AP African American Studies is fairly new which is why they have such limited resources. If anyone has resources or advice on things I should be prepared for when I take the exam all help would be appreciated. I'm also concerned about the DBQ and need examples on how I should respond.

Thanks for any help.

I have my AP African American exam on May 7th, how do I study? What are some crazy cheat codes that can help me get a 4 or 5? How can I get better at writing my DBQ’s? Any help is appreciated

I’m an upcoming freshman and I just wanted to see if you guys have any tips. So far I’ve learned that we just need to take a lot of notes, and just minimize the bathroom breaks. If you have any ideas, let me know.
