@kassh4 I had to read 10 days that unexpectedly changed america and write chapter summaries, write definitions for vocab for the first four chapters, and fill in a map.
Not really looking forward to APUSH this year- I’m stressed with the summer homework as well.
I didn’t even want to take the class. I only took it because I like the teacher.
Does anybody have any strategies for reading assignments? We have to read a super long article and are having a reading quiz on it… I don’t want all information going in one ear and out the other, traditional note-taking doesn’t prove that effective.
@shanemg.11 I usually try and read it out loud and if you can highlight the important facts as you read.
what is the best prep book for the apush exam in ur opinions?
Amscoe or the Princeton Review
@wildguy57 I’m using Amsco. It is rather lengthy, but concise and it has chapter reviews and a practice exam in it too. Four days in and so much homework… especially note-taking!
Any tips for studying, besides Adam Norris’s videos? I have my first test on period 1 this week… yikes!
Can someone please tell me where I can find the answers to the AMSCO Ch. 1 multiple choice questions? I’ve tried googling it but am not sure whether it’s for the 2016 edition. My test is tomorrow so I need it ASAP.
@shanemg.11 I think only teachers can order the multiple choice answer key.
@shanemg.11 I found it online. Just keep searching for AMSCO 2016 pdf. I found it awhile back, but I can’t post the link on here.
@Hamlon Thanks, my teacher ended up having it. Apparently they only sell the answer keys to teachers, unfortunately.
If anyone is looking for some videos to study off of, Tom Richey has some great ones (in addition to Adam Norris). I highly recommend.
I am an APUSH teacher. Two things I really love for students to review… (that sound like they are related but aren’t)
- The Crash Course Review book (published by REA College Prep) it does a really nice job of condensing the fact that you MUST know. It will NOT replace reading your textbook (By kids read “Give Me Liberty” by Eric Foner- which I love. But it helps give you a list of points you can pull out.
- John Green’s CrashCourse US History videos on Youtube. He’s funny, irreverent, and does a really nice job looking at the BIG picture (hello, Context) and explaining how topic intersect.
I also like Tom Richey’s stuff… though honestly I think the Euro is stronger than the APUSH. (I teach both)
@toowonderful Alright, thank you. I will definitely check those out. 
What period is everyone on so far?
In DE but just finished 3.
Just finish 2, starting 3 tomorrow (Hurricane Matthew set up back a lot)
Just finished 3, starting 4 this week.
