I'm considering taking AP US History next year. How long is the course, and does it span the entire school year?
The AP US History (APUSH) course typically spans the entire school year. While the exact duration may vary slightly depending on your school's schedule, the course is designed to cover a comprehensive syllabus over an extended period of time. Most schools follow a schedule that includes the APUSH class for both fall and spring semesters, which allows you ample time to cover the extensive material and prepare for the AP exam in May. If you're interested in taking the course, you should confirm the specific duration and schedule with your school's guidance counselor or the teacher who will be instructing the course to get accurate information tailored to your school's academic calendar.
