<p>Due to many unforeseen circumstances, I have been forced to limit my studying for the ap exam to the last night.</p>
<p>I have a few questions:
1) Is crash course all I need to get a 3, or 4?
2) Is it worth reviewing Amsco so late? If yes, where should I start?</p>
<p>Any other tips for cramming everything in, would also be highly appreciated</p>
<p>Thank You</p>
<p>Tip:</p>
<p>Get off of your computer.</p>
<p>Just read PR, that should help.</p>
<p>AMSCO is a bit thick for a one night reading…</p>
<p>Depends how much you know. I did minimal studying and earned a 5, but then again, I knew my stuff.</p>
<p>@NewAccount… It is necessary for me to make a plan of action, before I commit to mindless cramming</p>
<p>@ninmage621… Sadly all I have is crash course, and Amsco</p>
<p>@Lonestar23… I’ve had a terrible teacher who has taught us nothing. At the same time, in my school US History is divided into 2 years. At this point I can rmbr 60% of the info I’ve learned…</p>
<p>60% isn’t too shabby. I’d recommend just some light studying and getting to bed on time. You’ll do many times worse if you stay up late cramming, and besides, 60% of the test is about a 4-5.</p>
<p>@Lonestar23 yeah i was thinking the same thing. I guess I’ll finish reading crash course in the next 3 hours, skim the summaries in Amsco, and review strategies to answer the Essays/DBQ., and call it a night.</p>
<p>In any case, do you have any experience with Crash Course? Is it effective?</p>
<p>All nighter with amsco, baby.</p>
<p>If Crash Course it truly effective, there is no reason to pull an all nighter</p>
<p>Does anyone have experience with crash course?</p>
<p>review books aren’t enough to pass the exam. You need to know alot of well rounded information for the essays. its 50% of your score. If you bomb the essay section you are screwed. 50% of students don’t pass the APUSH exam…and only 10% get a 5.</p>
<p>I took the 2006 and 1996 released MCs and got 68/80 and 64/80, respectively, using Crash Course. I’m hoping that it’s going to be that effective for the real test (as I realize that Crash Course is based off released exams). I would definitely suggest reading through Crash Course, and paying attention to the bullet points/details (ex: that the original Constitution called for direct election of senators, but not for two-term limit, political parties, presidential cabinet, etc.) </p>
<p>Practice doing pre-writes/writing theses/coming up with outside information and facts for the essays with released questions from College Board.</p>
<p>@NeeKzg actually the original constitution did not call for the direct election of senators… That was a later Amendment.
The framers wanted to limit popular elections… i.e through the creation of the electoral college</p>
<p>Is it necessary to MEMORIZE ALL THE AMENDMENTS?</p>
<p>@Killer2021, hopefully I get lucky. Hopefully I will be able to produce well rounded essays…</p>
<p>Tip:</p>
<p>GET OFF THE COMPUTER. UNPLUG IT. WE WILL ALL STILL BE HERE TOMORROW WAITING TO HEAR HOW YOU DID.</p>
<p>Not really, I took it last year and I didn’t memorize them. Maybe know the big ones, like the one that ended slavery, gave women the vote, etc.</p>
<p>Which case was the one that decided, based on the 14th amendment which made african americans citizens, businesses were considered citizens and therefore couldn’t be regulated? Was it Munn V. Illinois? From Wikipedia it sounds like it used that amendment to do the opposite >.<</p>
<p>I’m not certain, but I think our government can regulate businesses nowadays. I think Wiki is probably right on this one.</p>
<p>I would say your best bet is to get through as much as you can in AMSCO.</p>
<p>@Lonestar23, it wasn’t a nowadays case. It was a case during the Gilded Age.</p>
<p>Woops, I meant to say electoral college to elect the president, not direct election of senators. Hopefully you’ve logged off by now and started studying. </p>
<p>What are your opinions on studying the day before? My teacher advised to not study too much the day before, and that we should take a break or do something non-APUSH related.</p>
<p>Study the day before, but don’t freak out.</p>
