<p>I am going into my sophmore year, and I will be taking APUSH this year. I thought I would be a good student and get a head start on the class by reading a prep book over the summer so that I could get an 800 on the subject test! NOTTTTT!!!!!! I cannot read the stupid book. It's so boring!!!</p>
<p>WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!</p>
<p>School is about to start!!!</p>
<p>Run into a wall and kill yourself is certainly the one suggestion that comes to mind. Another suggestion is to post threads in proper subsections of the forum.</p>
<p>?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?
wrong section</p>
<p>First of all, post this in the Subject Test section. Here’s a tip though: CRASH COURSE. Short and concise. You probably want to read Amsco a couple times though just to be safe (that’s what I did).</p>
<p>Since you’re only a sophomore, you’re probably better off taking the exam in May or June of next year. By then, you should have a textbook and a review book to adequately prepare you for the subject test.</p>
<p>History isn’t really something you want to cram into a week… unless that week is the week before AP tests :)</p>
<p>sleep with it under your pillow
and maybe the stuff will sink in</p>
<p>Shouldn’t you sleep with it on top of you then? Otherwise it would sink into the bed :P</p>
<p>Try Sparknotes. They have a nice SAT Subject Test page with US History and it has a complete study guide with 8 practice tests and they are very professional although many of the questions begin to repeat themselves after 4 of those. However, the tests on Sparknotes are easier than the actual test itself. Many questions on the actual test are written solely to separate students from each other. </p>
<p>But, to be honest, studying for the AP exam deserves a higher priority over the subject test. College credit is at stake (hence saving hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars) and tests a greater range of skills. I spent my time studying for the AP test and class papers/tests/nightly readings over the subject test. Personally, I had a 5 on the AP and a 790 on the subject test.</p>
<p>So if I were to suggest anything, try the Sparknotes outline, but nothing can replace your school textbook. And since APUSH is the most popular AP course, there is a wealth of information here on the Internet so there are many resources at your disposal. Best of luck.</p>

<p>Hehe. We have the exact same scores for those two tests. The subject test doesn’t require much in terms of review. I took one in the month after my AP exam and found it to be relatively easy.</p>
<p>noo…because your head will press on it and then it’ll sink it lol</p>
