<p>I didn’t self study, but the test wasn’t isn’t hard at all in my opinion, as long as you know your information and chronology you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Lol, I guess but i am pretty duanted by the fact that the essays are taken so seriously
Where can i get some more practise on them? I am actually a great essay writer but I have never written one so I guess I am worried. </p>
<p>Any ideas where good essay examples may be found? Or Where I can get some practise?
By the way where can I find old practise tests?</p>
<p>Sorry I am so worried, I am just a little freaked out and would like to be overprepared.</p>
<p>Bump!! Lol any insights!</p>
<p>anyone? Any Help would be appreciated for a newbie</p>
<p>Personally, I would not recommend self-studying this. But if you must, make sure you buy Princeton Review, and consult the review sections, maybe a section every week or so. Be sure to supplement that material with a textbook; I would recommend The Enduring Vision. Then some time in April, read the review sections, and take the practice questions for each section. Then the week before the exam, take the practice exams. These are the steps for success.</p>

<p>USE historyteacher.net (or something like that). If you really enjoy history, you will do very well. If you don’t, it will be slightly difficult but not bad. I thought the AP USH was easy. I took the class but since it was only 1 semester long, I had to self study. It’s not that bad, you can do it! LEARN TO LOVE HISTORY</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. APUSH is easy to self-study, it is all facts!</p>
<p>First off, use the resources online to your advantage. While reading the AMSCO book make sure to do some extra reading on the important topics. For example, it might be a good idea to read the wikipedia entries for presidents or for major wars.</p>
<p>To practice MC just use the practice exams in the back of the book. There are released AP exams online, just use google to find them</p>
<p>To practice essays simply read previous prompts and do some research on how to write a good 5 paragraph academic essay. </p>
<p>You are pretty much on the right track. There is only that 80 question MC and the essays. Thats it. I think the hardest part is understanding how the United States has changed over the ages. You have to know how all the various facts relate to each other. For example the passage of xyz tariff eventually lead to the panic of 1873 and so on.</p>
<p>I am currently taking APUSH…is it any one who took the test this year that could give any new advice.</p>
<p>are you talking about the dbq essays or the free response?
the free responses are easy - just regular academic essays.
the dbq my teacher told me that you just need to mention the values, limitations, change in time, outside knowledge, and good matching of similarities between documents.</p>
<p>test is easy just read book and take notes. look online for textbook sources</p>
<p>I got a 5 on that test last year. It sound like you’re on the right track, especially if you can do good on the essays. Military history is my thing (hence the username) but unfortuneatly the APUSH focuses more on economic and cultural history. I read several test-prep books, just memorizing lots of factoids and basic chronology, which was enough to do well on the multiple choice. For the essays, it’s important to support your argument with plenty of historical facts: poorly written truth is better than excellent fiction.</p>
<p>worship the AP book</p>
<p>REA’s APUSH Crash Course book is highly recommended. Makes for a very good combination with Amsco.</p>
