Lucky. And yes I play. Tenor Sax is my main instrument though 
I told myself I would study for APUSH + 4 other subjects + the ACT over break. hasn’t happened yet :rolleyes:</p>
So, how far along are you guys?
We’re right before the turn of the 20th century.</p>
After break, we’re starting on Chapter 28 of the American pageant which I think is about Teddy Roosevelt.</p>
… yeah we’re going to be starting chapter 20. maybe I should start reading ahead.</p>
We just finished Reconstruction.</p>
Any tips on remembering enough for writing DBQs and standard essays? I do pretty well on multiple choice questions, but never remember enough info to make decent arguments in essays despite taking (teacher-enforced) outline notes for each chapter. Documents are my primary resource of info for DBQs and I mostly just have very general concepts and some vague details for regular essays.</p>
So how much work do you think will be required to achieve a 5, self-studying using only AMSCO and Crash Course?</p>
^^ Cont. Of course including some knowledge from class but about half of what I need to know for the exam</p>
Any predictions on what the FRQ’s or DBQ’s could possibly be this year? I read somewhere else that for last years test, people brainstormed what the topics probably WOULDN’T be, by looking at what the recent DBQ/FRQ topics in the past years were and ruling out that they wouldn’t re-appear on the test so soon again. Seemed smart.</p>
Well, the DBQ isn’t going to be about the Puritans.</p>
Over break we have to read the chapter on Reconstruction. I was going to start really studying for the APUSH exam over the break, but with the amount of homework I have I doubt that will happen, especially because the course bores me to no end.</p>
My teacher said one DBQ is pre-Civil War/Reconstruction and the other is after that era. What were last year’s? </p>
My class is finishing up the 1920s this week. We’re pretty lucky for APUSH, since sophomore year we do an honors course that goes from colonial to Reconstruction, and junior year is AP where it’s the Gilded Age through present, with review. So hopefully I won’t have to study to catch up so much.</p>
^You mean FRQ? You are given two sets of two FRQs, for a total of 4. You choose one from the first pair (before Civil War) and one from the second pair (post Civil War).</p>
Pair 1 of last year’s FRQs was on 1) reasons why we won the American Revolution and 2) events leading up to the Civil war. Pair 2 was on 3) women in the Progressive Era and 4) suburbanization/Sun Belt/immigration (pick two) following WWII. Here are the actual FRQs:

Oh, FRQ, sorry. I didn’t realize there were 3 essays! I thought there was one DBQ and one FRQ… fantastic. Any speculations for the FRQs? For some reason I’m thinking a Jacksonian era question, maybe.</p>
I have an APUSH final soon and haven’t review yet though I already forgot most of the stuff. I hate history.</p>
Lol I hate history too.
My teacher completely skipped over Teddy Roosevelt, so (if it doesn’t snow Monday) we’ll be going over that.</p>
I am busy writing my DBQ on Robber Barons right now. And we are going to being reviewing for our semester final starting today.</p>
bump
10 char</p>
Last year’s DBQ was about how the Puritan society influenced the making of American ideals. One of the FRQs was about the Revolutionary War, another option was about sectionalism/Civil War. The other FRQ had 19th century women as one option, and the rise of suburbia/sunshine strip as the other. Those are kinda vague, but they were all the options (took the exam last year)</p>

Trying to read the AMSCO book before the AP test on chapter 6 this is going to be a long grueling experience.</p>
