<p>I know these have been "officially" released to the public, so I was wondering what do you think about it? Is it as hard as the AP exam that is going to be administered this Friday? I actually found the two tests to be moderately straight-forward and to a certain extent, quite easy. Also, why do these tests have 100 questions, instead of 80? Did they change the # recently?</p>

<p>Sidenote: Do you think Crash Course makes a big difference in aceing the MC, and the ESSAYS?</p>

<p>Crash course will make you own the MC section.</p>

3

<p>well, the test on friday is going to cover more material than those tests, for obvious reason</p>

<p>but they were manageable in my oppinion</p>

4

<p>do you know where and how i can have access to the answers to this test?</p>

<p>^Crash Course will definitely dominate the multiple-choice. It also dominated last year’s essay questions. For example, the Crash Course chapter on Labor Unions aced the essay question on this topic.</p>

<p>What test on Friday are you referring to? The AP exam is on May 8th.</p>

<p>He was referring to the APUSH test from last year. This is an old thread.</p>

<p>Does anyone know where I could buy the crash course book for APUSH? I wasn’t going to get it, but the more I read about it the more it sounds like I should have it.</p>

8

<p>^You can buy it for just $8.60 on Amazon. I think it is a bit more expensive at Barnes or Borders.</p>

<p>Are there any major differences between the first and second edition of Crash Course? I have the second edition; it is apparently the same number of pages as the first.</p>

<p>How do you use the Crash Course to its fullest? Do you just read it once or twice through? I realize it might be crazy to try to take notes on it since it’s already in such a simplified form.</p>

<p>The second edition contains expanded coverage of literary works and some extra information here and there. I would begin with The Great Triumvirate - Key Terms, African American History, and Women’s history. Then take a look at the chronological chapters on Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt and the Progressives and the New Deal. The study the thematic chapters focusing on compact units such as US policy toward Latin America and the Vietnam War.</p>
