Answer 1

I think it depends on what you're most interested in. History tests are almost always going to be based on memorization of important dates, events, and people. If you're more interested in the subject matter, you'll find it easier to remember.

It also depends on the instructor teaching the class. Perhaps you should ask which instructor makes learning the material easier. Of course, people outside of your school wouldn't be able to help much with that.

Personally, I've always found world history to be much more interesting than US history, because the scope is much larger. US history is detail intense, because the scope is much narrower, therefore the lessons are going to elaborate on details. World history will go over a broader range of subjects, but will still be detailed in places (like the World Wars.

Answer 2

Advanced placement classes are just that--advanced.... The classes are meant to be challenging for the higher level student. Moreover, much of the class depends on the teacher teaching the class. If the same teacher that teaches "AP World" is teaching "AP US", then you and your classmates can expect much of the same.

Good Luck...
