Its definitely possible; I recommend starting your review (ie cram session) now rather than waiting till the night before.
@arteezy If you’ve been taking and doing well in the class the whole year, then yes. If you’ve been doing well in the class the whole year, you could probably not review at all and still get a 5 (or at least a 4).
Thanks (: I started a couple days ago and I’m almost done with the princeton review, planning on watching adam norris and taking practice tests over the next few days.
Are the practice tests on the 2016 Princeton review similar or harder in terms of difficulty?
I’ll be taking it on Friday too, but ultimately no review book will be perfectly accurate with the AP exam. Perhaps looking at the sample questions in the Exam Course Description on the Collegeboards website would give you an idea of the types of questions on the test and how they compare with those in the review book.
The Princeton Review keeps saying that you won’t need to know any specific battles of the Civil War and other wars. Is this true? I’m nervous because the review book completely skips the Battle of Antietam and other battles that I thought were important.
Can I read crash course and watch adam norris videos and practice essays and get a 5? I got an A in the class the whoel year
@RiceEater108 Yes, that’s what I’m doing. That’s probably what a lot, if not most, people do.
Does anybody find Jocz Production videos on APUSH pretty helpful as well?
Since the APUSH exam has been slightly revised again this year, does anyone know if we need to write a synthesis (parallel to another time period) in the long essay, the dbq, or both?? Teacher didn’t explain it at all
Yes you have to write a synthesis for both long essay and DBQ
Around what score do we need for a 5? AP Pass only has calculators based on the curves in 2001 and 2006.
You can try this http://www.apcalculator.com/calculator/ushistory.php
It says its a post 2014 curve.
@RiceEater108 yo… im in the same exact boat hopefully, we can get 5s
@tryptophanoverload It’s somewhat true and somewhat false. You need to know the battle of Gettysburg and its significance.
According to my friends who took the test last year, they said to read the APUSH course description that Adam Norris bases his videos off of
Is it necessary to know tiny,little details(like Eisenhower Doctrine, or Hay Pauncefote Treaty?) to get a five(or even a four)on the exam?
Im a bit worried since I am sort of unclear and foggy with several events/details from period to period
Obviously, we won’t know every single detail that there is about US history, but the more you know, the better your arguments will be! Try to know the overarching themes of each period/even president, if you feel the need, and a handful of details to support it. You won’t get knocked down from a pass to a fail over a lack of certain, minute details
