<p>I heard there is virtually no material past 1970 on the APUSH test. If this is true I desperately want to avoid learning the material because I have other weak points to focus on. However, if this possibility exists I need to learn it. Is there a chance?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>1968 was a question last year (which my teacher luckily predicted). I really don’t think they ever go past 1968.</p>
<p>Vietnam War? Watergate Scandal? Hensinki Accords? D</p>
<p>Yes last year things concerned the Progressive era and Vietnam.</p>
<p>There were 2 questions on Bill Clinton in the MC last year, so yes, you should know up to Clinton in the very least.</p>
<p>This year in the teacher-preparation packet, the College Board did [bold]not ask[/bold] for teachers to cover the 1990s. Whereas in past years they have.</p>
<p>It seems like a cheap trick to get us with some questions =o</p>
<p>I got a 5 last year, and I was VERY iffy on quite a few bullet points.</p>
<p>I don’t remember the essays very well, but I believe the DBQ was on Vietnam and its aftermath; although I found this topic extremely easy, many of my classmates did not do well because they figured that Vietnam a bit too late in the historical timeline.</p>
<p>I do remember several multiple choice questions on Clinton and Reagan, though, so don’t overlook those topics. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if there was some FRQ on economic policies, including Reaganomics. The exam is heavily weighted toward history up to 1975ish, but you’ll miss quite a few questions if you don’t brush up on the latter eras.</p>
<p>The FRQ which completely and totally threw me off was one on the distribution of different Native American tribes during the time of the colonists in the 17th/18th century, and their interactions with the Spanish/French/English. Yeah. I think I did very poorly, but since I only had a vague idea of what they were talking about, I’m assuming everyone else struggled as well which brought my grade up.</p>
<p>Actually, the first question on last year’s test was on Clinton’s “Contract with America.”</p>
<p>Spend most of your time on the time period from 1820-1972, but definitely do not overlook the other eras as that could make the difference between a 3/4 or 4/5.</p>
