LMAO Aero, that’s the list from AP exam review.com which gave me a headache… I guess I’ll just bunker down in the library and skim some from the periods giving me the most trouble.</p>
^ Haha that’s hilarious…good luck, anyway.</p>
As for the DBQ, my teacher thinks the Great Depression. I’d like that.</p>
I have a feeling one of the first two FRQ questions will be about the Great Awakening. I was looking at past FRQs on Collegeboard and I couldn’t seem to find any recent on it.</p>
has anybody taken the test at apexamreview.com? I have been prepping with sparknotes and got a 740 on the USH test at sparknotes, but I only got 60/80 on the site posted below. Is it significantly harder than the real AP exam questions or do I need some serious work in order to get a 5?</p>

Isn’t a 60/80 enough to get a 5? That’s 75%.</p>
yes but im a bit worried about the essay section. and on sparknotes, which is considered to be harder than the exam, i got 83% correct.</p>
^You need only 67% of the raw points for a 5. You’ll be fine.</p>
I got 61/80 on a released exam (highest in my class), and average 7 on my essays (one 5, two 6s, a lot of 7s, two 8s) in class. I get 4s and 5s on the unit MC exams in class, too. DO you think I can get a 5 on May 6th? My teacher expects me to get a 5. The thing is, though, that I don’t have much energy or will to study, and I forget things wayyyyy too easily. I don’t remember much from the course. I have AMSCO, and have been reading, but not the earlier stuff. I have a little less than two weeks, so I will be reading AMSCO chapters each day (maybe).</p>
amsco is way too dense for me… i regret buying it to be honest.</p>
Gave up on AMSCO, going for a couple rereadings of DH.</p>
if your an average writer what essay grade can you expect? Do they hand out 5 and above rather easily? </p>
And i agree about amsco, its so boring to read and has so much information. I’m seriously not going to bother remembering any of the painters, writers, or architecture people i just read over. That’s not going to show up on the exam. On page 400 now!!!</p>
I loved AMSCO throughout the school year, but… ugh, superfluous information.
DH is the way to go.</p>
Needshelp: GAHHH. Barely on page 250 or something. After this book, which I PRAY TO GOD I FINISH SOON, I’m going to head over to Rea’s Crash Course and… x___x</p>
Our school alternated outlining from amsco and brinkley. Amsco in my opinion is useless as a holistic review text. I will use it to spot-check a few parts I’m unclear on… I got 670 on my first sparknotes test, 700 on my second. I think I can get 750+ no problem. I think I actually do very well with paper tests rather than online because I can actually eliminate answers by hand… I finished the DH free 90 questions yesterday also with a 74/90… That would be close to if not a 5 for AP and with a raw score of 70, around a 760 for the SAT II. My goal is 780+… Should not be impossible. Thankfully, I have APUSH review sessions with my teacher every day after school for the next two weeks and plenty of time for my hardcore studying.</p>
Can DH be bought in stores or is it online exclusive?</p>
Dumb question.</p>
does anyone have any practice tests? I have a few I could trade for…
I have 1988, 1996, 2001, and 2008.</p>
^ Tenors -the DH books are not in bookstores but if you go into a Barnes and Noble store they will order a copy for you and have it sent to your home. Otherwise you can order it from Amazon.</p>
You can order the Direct Hits book from the publisher at direct hits education . com.</p>
Prob better to order it with Amazon Prime… it’s only $15 and it’ll be at my house on Thursday. It was only $3.99 more to get it delivered tomorrow, which is also a really good deal (for one-day delivery).</p>
So, anyone have any good DBQ/FRQ predictions for this year? :)</p>
Anyone got any tests they can hook me up with?</p>
