<p>I feel like I know everything up to 1850ish really well, and then after that I don't know the specifics on some topics. If anybody has any questions related to the APUSH test on Friday hopefully we can all help each other out!</p>
<p>First Question:</p>
<p>What explorers should we definately know? AMSCO included a lot, but Barrons just talked about Amerigo Vespucci.</p>
<p>I’m taking this on Friday too! Are you ready???</p>
<p>I’m going to assume that Columbus is really important for obvious reasons… Other than that I feel like Vespucci is the only other explorer that we should know.</p>
<p>Thank god you’re familiar with everything up to 1850ish… can you explain to me what happened between like 1815 and 1850 that was significant??? I know the end of 1812 in a stalemate, the Monroe Doctrine, and the Second Great Awakening.</p>
<p>One very important topic is the Mexican War and westward expansion. Also, do not forget Jacksonian democracy!</p>
<p>I remember studying for this last year. If you guys need some help, I have a really concise “50 most frequently asked topics on the multiple choice”. I’m pretty good at history, but I can truly give partial credit to that sheet for my 5. I’m
Super busy tonight but pm me if you are interested and I’ll get it to you tomorrow night.</p>
<p>women’s movement is important</p>
<p>Don’t completely disregard the old, old stuff.
Last year, our DBQ was about Puritans in New England or something… wonderful.
I still got a 5 but I know a lot of otherwise confident people who that screwed up.</p>
<p>methodic can you upload to google docs/a hosting site and post the link instead?</p>
<p>I don’t think explorers are an issue here. Sure, you may need to know Cortez, the Santa Fe trail, and maybe some others but they may not be terribly important. </p>
<p>You should know, if you consider them explorers, the Puritans, the Pilgrims, and the first European settlers in the colonies (i.e. Jamestown).</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, Manifest Destiny, and the westward expansion is important. The Turner thesis, the Homestead Act, the Oregon trail, Louisiana Purchase, and all that good stuff are important. </p>
<p>I am terrible at women’s history. I can’t even remember the date women suffrage was enacted! Labour history is also another thing that I can’t seem to grasp. For instance, the difference between AFL and the Knights of Labor, the IWW (wobblies), and the Populists I can’t seem to see.
Predictions for the DBQ and the FRQs?</p>
<p>+1 on the wobblies, we didnt even talk about them.</p>
<p>are the dates really important?</p>
<p>Dates will strengthen your essays a lot. You don’t have to memorize every date for everything, but for major occurrences it’s good to have them.</p>
<p>Are all the MC about Acts and weird people I’ve never heard of?</p>
<p>MC questions are more about key events and their significance/results.</p>
<p>Know the acts though, people appear but its hard to know the hundreds of important figures</p>
<p>Do I need to know the ins and outs of FDR’s new deal acts? There are so many and Its hard to distinguish between first and second new deals.</p>
<p>Here is the link to the google docs for the top things you need to know for the exam: </p>

<p>I hope it works and good luck to all. I expect nothing less than a 5 from all of you :)</p>
<p>request access? really?</p>
<p>I’m really confident on everything 1800 to 1900 save for the women’s movement. I just find it a little dull at times. Regardless of my insecurities about it, I know that the Seneca falls convention, declaration of sentiments, Grimke sisters, and It’s connection with other movements are imperative factions of the topic.</p>
<p>How important is material post cold war on the test ( ie George HW Bush on)</p>
<p>^this. We are still on cold war…im solid on everything pre 1960</p>
