This year, I decided to take APUSH. Other than the monthly unit test we do, I do well: homework, project, and other stuff. However on the tests, I only get C’s. The unit tests we take are all document based multiple choice questions. For example today, we had a unit test on unit 2 and there were 50 questions that we had to answer in less than 50 minutes. All of the questions were based on little excerpts of documents and few pictures. They were really confusing because all of the documents are in old English. It’s really hard for me to read old English in such little time. And I feel like the tests we get monthly don’t really pertain to the details we learn from our textbooks. They just ask questions about general, broad questions… Anyone who have taken and conquered APUSH have any suggestions, tips for me? PLEASE, thanks.
I am taking APUSH this year too, and I feel the same as you! Hopefully someone has some good advice!
