i have this AP US History teacher that everyone hates, because she makes us do PERSIAs. Thats where you divide each chapter by Political, Economic, Religous, Social, Intelligent, and Arts. Everyone hates her because she's really sarcastic and mean, and the workload in that class is crazy, like 150 vocab cards per section (like 5 chapters). It seems crazy, but I understand because AP US History is supposed to be the hardest subject. Here's the thing...

You'd think, with all that work, everyone would be really prepared for the AP test, right? Well, last year, 6 kids passed the AP test. She had 70 students (I don't know if they all took it), but that seems ridiculous. Do your teachers correct essays the same way as her? She typically gives 3 or 4s, but the annoying thing is that she goes through and like, changes all of the words you chose to use (for instance, motives instead of reasons). I understand that I do need to work a lot on my essays (although essays have always been my best subject, so meh, I know I have to try harder). I don't know what going on, but I'm afraid I'm not going to pass the AP test. Any advice?
