<p>This will probably be the class that I get my first B in</p>

<p>We got progress reports today - currently holding an A in the class…</p>

<p>My class just finished the Age of Jackson. Where is everyone else? Thanks</p>

<p>[The</a> Comprehensive AP US History Study Guide](<a href=“AP US History Super Review Packet | PDF | Thirteen Colonies | American Revolution”>AP US History Super Review Packet | PDF | Thirteen Colonies | American Revolution)</p>

<p>heyoh, good luck little people</p>

<p>We are on the War of 1812.</p>

<p>Last year my friend told me that I would get my first B of the year in this class. Lo and behold, lowest quarter grade in 3 years, 2nd quarter B in high school, and only B first quarter of junior year, 89.09 in AP U.S. History!</p>

<p>Anyways, my school used to have 2 AP USH teachers, but now it only has one. We use the “American History Connecting with the Past: AP Edition” textbook by Alan Brinkley. We’re on Ch. 11, which is during the antebellum period. Right now, I’ve done all of my homework except what I have to do for AP USH. My procrastination isn’t helping me, but I got a 93 on the first test and a 96 on the first quiz of the second quarter.</p>

<p>Somehow I have an A in APUSH, but the class is pure evil. Also I feel like we are underprepared, how far into history are you guys/how many DBQs have you done?</p>

<p>Just about to start the Age of Jackson. Only one DBQ so far…</p>

<p>We’ve done a DBQ and a FRQ. My teacher is very far behind compared to the other APUSH teacher at our school. We just finished the War of 1812, while the other teacher is about five chapters ahead…</p>

<p>Hope all the new APUSHers are enjoying the class :stuck_out_tongue:
Revolution sucked didn’t it?</p>

<p>I took APUSH last year and while it was hard I am super happy I took it.
A word of advice: Just calm down! It can be a hard class but it will be entirely worth it and you will do better in the future.</p>

<p>We’re in the 1860s. Moving fast but very unprepared. We’ve only done 1 DBQ and 2 FRQs and my teacher hasn’t graded any of them.</p>

<p>We got through the election of 1840 and social reforms during that time period. We’ve done three FRQs so far and zero DBQs.</p>

<p>We’re up to the start of the civil war; the last thing we talked about was the secession of South Carolina, the formation of the Confederacy, and Fort Sumter. We’re starting the civil war after Thanksgiving.</p>

<p>We just started civil war. we have an awesome teacher! I LOVE the class! After Thanksgiving we will have a quiz on chapter 15.</p>

<p>How are you guys making study guides for your finals for this class? I’m worried because there is a lot of stuff to remember and apply.</p>

<p>My APUSH class is so easy it scares me. I don’t know if that is a good thing or bad thing considering we are not using American Pageant</p>

<p>Well, i just ordered The essential content for apush - $18 and cliffnotes for AP lang- 18$ . I really based my choices of reviews on this website, please dont let me down guys… did i make the right decision or would u guys recommend any other book?=) i really dont want a reapeat of 3’s on euro and psych like last year.</p>

<p>I heard the Crash Course for APUSH is really good. One of my friends used it and got a 5 easily. He said it really condensed the material into understandable chunks.</p>

<p>My question: is it good to take AP Gov/Pol along with APUSH or is there little overlap and can be taken after doing APUSH?</p>

<p>I have that book. I should start using it. :p</p>

<p>I took AP gov last year. This year I’m taking APUSH. there is quite a bit of overlap. so this year I feel good in APUSH and I answer a lot of questions in the class because of what I learned last year. :)</p>

<p>bump this thread… </p>

<p>Which chapter are you doing? We just finished chapter 11. We might be a little behind.</p>
