<p>bump bump answer someone</p>
<p>Are you in an APUSH class? Do you have a tutor or mentor? Any other US Gov or World History background? When are you taking the subject test?</p>
<p>Unless you have godly memory, reading the material a few times won’t be enough for the subject test.</p>
<p>So if you’re self-studying, it could be really really hard. For me at least, rote memorization is something that only comes from repetition: from reading the material, taking notes, listening to teacher’s lectures, going over notes again, and again, and again. AMSCO is pretty long and comprehensive, so I would recommend outlining each chapter and jotting down hard facts and definitions. That way when it comes down to the week of the test, you won’t have to reread, just refresh your memory by going over your less than 30 pages of notes.</p>
<p>Of course this seems like obvious advice. But if you’re cramming for the test in just a few weeks, it’s best to think of material in historical themes. Think westward expansion, and make a list of events that pertain to that them. Think minority rights, and make a similar list. Presidents, conflicts, economic trends, and so on. It’s so much easier to keep everything straight in your head.</p>
<p>Take practice tests every week and all that good stuff too.</p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
