<p>Sigh. . . I procrastinated again. AP Test is Friday, and I've studied minimally. To my credit, APUSH at my HS is RIDICULOUS and I am one of the only A's in the class. This helps quell some of my fears (especially when it comes to DBQ and FRQ), but I'm still nervous about MC. My local bookstore doesn't have the acclaimed Crash Course book, so I'm kinda out of luck when it comes to that. Do you think making notecards of all the important terms while reading a prep book would suffice? And by making notecards, I mean making like 600+. Crazy, I know, but that's my favorite way to study. Any tips? Does that sound OK?</p>
<p>600+ notecards will take quite some time, I suggest reading a review book, and try to memorize the information.</p>
<p>I got a 4 last year, though I’m certain that was the higher end of the range because I was pretty confident I’d get a 5, and aside from practice tests from my teacher my only study tool was Kaplan’s U.S. History in a Box flashcards. They cover all the material by era. I’d suggest picking some up from the bookstore or ordering them online and carrying them around with you for the next few days.</p>
<p>I suggest going to a review book. Especially AMSCO. Read all of the important stuff. Focus on recent things (60s- present).
Also, there are rumors of the DBQ being on Jackson.
For max prep, I recommend annotating a review book. Also, look for Baron’s Flash Cards. They’re not the best, but they cover a lot of usefull things and should jog your memory.
Annotate the cards and the book. Form study groups! Again, focus heavily on key things: Wash’s Farewell Address, Jeffersonian, Jacksonian, Red Scares, FDR, New Deal, the Great Society, and stuff along those lines.
The New Deal is very imp.</p>
<p>Good Luck.
Unlike you, I’m confident with the mult choice and fearful of the DBQ and FRQ.</p>
