<p>So yeah, the APUSH exam in friday. </p>
<p>Who's taking it, and how are you planning on preparing over the next two nights, if at all?</p>
<p>Reading review book, thats all seeing as ive taken a bunch of practice tests already</p>
<p>hey Birdman, look at that, you're a member. There's no "junior" tacked on to the beginning. Imagine that.</p>
<p>i seriously want to kill myself when i think about the APUSH exam.. more so for the essays and dbq.</p>
<p>I'm taking it. We've been doing heavy review outlines in my APUSH class for the past two weeks, and I'm going to pick up another review book (little late for that, eh..). Other than that, I'm just going to review my notes. I find the MC a lot more frightening than the essays.. anyone with me on that?</p>
<p>I can't believe I am a junior member! I've been on these boards since my freshmen year and I am now a junior! But I did switch my username.</p>
<p>ANYWAYS> back to APUSH. I am not exactly sure how I am going to go about studying for the exam the next 2 nights. This is a good point and I am excited to see how everyone else is planning to spend their last 48 hours!! </p>
<p>I THINK i will go over my Barrons flashcards. There are 500 of them and they are actually really useful. I need to someone prepare for the essays. Any suggestions? I will probably review major things like vietnam, civil war etc etc.</p>
<p>IM ME for study company/buddy xonicole143ox</p>
<p>Haha we played a "guess that decade!" game in class today.</p>
<p>I'm just going to... reread PR's history summary.. esp the early colonial era and the period after Eisenhower.</p>
<p>Some friends and I are coming up with supporting facts for a bunch of theses.</p>
<p>Yeah I acutally started that last night. I picke dout the major era's such as reconstruction, gilded age, progressive, civil rights and got a BUNCH of supporting details. </p>
<p>THis seems like a real good way of studying! If you prepare this for all the era's one of them has to be on the exam. Highly recommended way of studying btw.</p>
<p>lol I'm rereading PR's history summary for the third time...and then probably read about 5 chapters-worth from my text (I have some key areas I'd like to reread, including Revolution, progressive era, WWI, a pg on Vietnam). That's about all...not gonna worry too much about it. I'm pretty confident that i'll do well.</p>
<p>What do you need to get on MC to get a 4. Assuming you get 5-7 on the essays?</p>
<p>you'll be in very good shape with 5-7 on the essays...probably half MCs will do...probably less.</p>
<p>I'm reading the review book and the textbook too. I guess the best preparation is just reviewing the material.</p>
<p>I just finished the progressive era in my review book and will hopefully finish it completely tonight. I'll take a few practice tests from the AP Power Pack and go over some flashcards tomorrow and I should be set. I'm taking the day off school tomorrow and might do a little reviewing in the morning, but I'll relax in the afternoon and I'll be working tomorrow night which will hopefully take my mind off the exam. I've got a 4 on every practice test I've taken and have been close to a 5 a number of times so I'm in good shape.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, PR's APUSH practice tests are stupid.
They are much easier than the real exams.. so don't rely on those.</p>
<p>(imo anyways)</p>
<p>lol I'm not taking the day off, but in all my classes all but maybe 3 people (precalc has a field trip) will be there, so I'll have study halls for all but 2 periods in which I will study :).</p>
<p>~~I'm scared~~ </p>
<p>I hope I get a 4!!</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Airu: I've always found PR to be more difficult than the real exam...they only seem easy b/c they generally cover things specifically mentioned and emphazied in the PR review, IMO.</p>
<p>maybe it's just me....</p>
<p>what about rea's practice exams in relation to the real test</p>
<p>Ziggytheman> Really? Hmmm.. That could be true actually!</p>
<p>I heard if you get 64+ on the MC and write decent (7ish?) essays, you have a chance for a 5. Not completely sure about this though..</p>
<p>The test deducts 0.25 per wrong answer, but then your remaining correct answers are multiplied by 1.125 or something. At least thats what my teacher told us...</p>
<p>What about for a 4?</p>
