I’m reading my notes on AMSCO (took them throughout the year) and another review book. Then I’m reading CC, maybe tomorrow or Thursday. </p>
By the way, where do you plan to stop? My notes end at the end of Reagan’s term. Sorry if this has already been addressed, but do we need to know about Bush Sr./Jr., Clinton, and Obama to a greater depth than necessary for just 1 or 2 multiple choice questions? CC briefly covers such presidents, but AMSCO goes on and on…</p>
My teacher went all the way up to Clinton/NAFTA/WTO just to be sure.</p>
You don’t need to know anything about Obama or Bush Jr. really. The American Pageant only goes up to 2001.</p>
Also which practice tests? I already have 1996, 2001, and 2006. Are there other available ones?</p>
Hey guys, here is something really important for studying for the essays. Keep it quiet, but I thought the CC community deserved to know. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/history-social-sciences/1337459-important-apush-frq-leak-if-you-want-5-pay-attention.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/history-social-sciences/1337459-important-apush-frq-leak-if-you-want-5-pay-attention.html</a></p>
For the Cuban Missle Crisis. . .</p>
UMMMMMMMMMM. I DON’T KNOW. Top of my head, it’s by JFK who launched the invasion of the Bay of Pigs. Cuba got ****ed, said F U. Became bumchums with the Russians, who sent over missles. U2 spy planes get shot down, not only over Cuba but Russia too.</p>
*<strong><em>'s about to hit the fan, JFK who was a pretty useless president apart from being sexy as fw</em>k, defuses it by threatening to blow up the whole world is **</strong> doesn’t go his way. Mr. Krushev calls him worser than Hitler (I think) and yeah ****'s defused. Made the USSR look weak. JFK rejoices. . wait NO. He gets shot.</p>
I hope to get a 5 for this exam. =[</p>
It’s doubtful the FRQ will be on something as specific as ONLY the Cuban missile crisis. Although it IS a loaded topic, it’s still only ONE incident. The question would most likely ask about US relations with Cuba stemming from the Spanish American War, and asks that you trace our history with Cuba. The Cuban missile crisis would fit under that.</p>
The FRQs are meant to be broad, with plenty of outside information you can talk about.</p>
Reconstruction is almost certain to be on this year’s essays. Considering the scope/controversy over it, I am willing to hedge a bet that it will be the DBQ.</p>
Also, feeling like a b0$$ right now - 71/80 on today’s practice AP/final exam, curved down to a 75. 95% awww yeah.</p>
Oh, and I scanned a consolidated list of presidents and the key issues during their presidencies, complete with hastily scrawled notes:</p>

enjoy.</p>
I have a scoring question. I just did the 2006 multiple choice and got 63/80. What range am I in for scoring right now? I literally have no clue. I usually can get between 6 and 8 on all my essays, but when I put 60/80 and all 6’s into ap pass, it said I was way above the 5 range. Is this correct? I don’t want to stop studying when I actually don’t know enough for a 5.</p>
Also, for topics I’ve heard Gilded age and Civil War are both possibilities.</p>
I feel like I have MC in the bag (high 70’s!!!) but essays scare the crap out of me T_T</p>
flaminasian, there’s very little chance of the War of 1812 ever appearing on a free response or DBQ question. If I recall, my review said that there’s never been a direct question about it.</p>
[AP</a> Pass - AP Us Calculator](<a href=“http://appass.com/calculators/us]AP”>AP U.S. History Test Score Calculator - AP Pass).
its super easy for a 5 guise. Im more worried about sat 2. </p>
If ur feeling like a boss im double boss. 79/80 on practice but got stupidest question wrog because of bubbling in. SMH i h8e brown vs board of ed/plessy v ferguson.</p>
Can someone link/tell which essays on AP Central wouod be especially helpful to look at, considering the prdictions for this year’s DBQ?</p>
Does anyone know what the paper for International students will be like?</p>
Is it really that easy to get a 5? If I get 75% of the questions and 6’s on my essays appass says I will easily get a 5. That seems too easy to me.</p>
Just did a practice test… Omg, the amount of early 1800 questions I got wrong was just ridiculous >.<</p>
Can somebody briefly give me an overview of the history of internal migration in the US? Like the Great Migration, Sun belt migration…etc.
Also, does anybody have dbq/frq predictions for the international exam (Form B)?</p>
Great Migration- was Blacks moving North because many whites left their urban jobs for WWII (or is it WWI, correct me if I’m wrong). This led to many blacks moving into what were middle-class white homes, allowed them to achieve some sort of economic independency. Also, great migration later caused race riots when many service men return.</p>
Sunbelt, is the movement of many military-industrial jobs to the south. You can be super-smart and make a connection that it was a sort of subsidy by Washington to move the industries there, and that it is ironic that many Southerners complain about government funding, because a large part of their economy is based on these sorts of industries. You can also say that this federal funding was a move that intergrated the American economy and allowed the South to specialize in industry too, with some even saying that industry was being moved from the North TO the South. Also mention that a lot of these companies still exist today with the main factories of Boeing, DARPA, and Lockheed Martin, among other various military contractors having their industries below the GAD DAMN MASON DIXON LINE.</p>
BTWS. MY FAVOR.</p>
WHERE CAN I FIND THE MULTIPLE CHOICE THAT ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE SUBJECT, HAVEN’T DONE A FULL MULTIPLE CHOICE YET. HELP A FELLOW EUROPEAN OUT PLZ.</p>
does anyone have any suggestions on what to study like supreme court cases? I have been going through my review books trying to get all the important supreme court cases and writing a description of each one. I can’t think of other things that would help with, any suggestions?</p>
Can you not buy a practice book? I’d recommend doing questions from a prep book, although it might be too late to get one now. I don’t know how much AP’s are stressed in Europe.</p>
As for online, Sparknotes has forty multiple choice questions if you sign up for a free account. Whether or not they are as difficult as the actual exam, I’m not too sure. If that fails, they also have practice SAT II’s to do. (Warning: some of the questions have serious typos in them). The SAT II’s questions should give you a good idea of where you are.</p>
Other things to study/cram:
People. All of them. From woman’s rights people to making sure you know the difference between WEB Du Bois and Booker T. Washington.</p>
Books. There’s a pretty good chance there’ll be a question involving books. Make sure you memorize the books, what they pertain to, and what general time frame they belong to. (Transcendentalists, Lost Generation, etc.)</p>
The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head are major battles in wars.</p>
One more thing: study trends. Memorize everything in a few general trends. Maybe something as specific as woman’s rights (from Seneca Falls to NOW) or labor unions (Knights or AFoL) or perhaps something as general as immigration (Chinese exclusion act, nativist movement, etc.).
These will be very helpful when writing essays.</p>
There were two “Great Migrations.” The first was during and immediately after WWI, the second, during and after WWII. As whites became more involved in the war effort, blacks moved in to take up jobs formerly held by whites. Both migrations generally involved blacks migrating from the South to the North (notably, New York–the rise of Harlem as an African-American cultural community can be traced to the First Great Migration.)</p>
Here is a basic overview of internal migration, though.</p>
Late 1700s–Americans begin to colonize “Old Northwest” (Northwest Territory, this includes states like Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, etc.)</p>
1800s–Americans move westward. This migration is often cited as one of the primary reasons for internal conflicts leading to the Civil War. Territorial disputes (nearly always over the status of slavery in territories) led to many compromises that were only temporarily effective. Important compromises: Missouri Compromise (1820, Missouri admitted as slave state, Maine admitted as free state, slavery banned in the Louisiana territory north of the 36 30 line), Compromise of 1850 (1850, California admitted as free state, slave trade abolished in District of Columbia, Fugitive Slave Law enacted), Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854, allowed the Kansas and Nebraska territories to decided for themselves on the slavery issue. This was the last straw of compromise over slavery before the Civil War. This act essentially repealed the Missouri Compromise.)</p>
(First) Great Migration–explained above.</p>
Dust Bowl Migration–during the 1930s, dust storms swept the lower Midwest and forced thousands of farmers to move westward to find work. Many of these farmers were from Oklahoma and Arkansas (“Okies” and “Arkies”).</p>
(Second) Great Migration–explained above.</p>
Sunbelt Migration–migration during the latter part of the 1900s during which many Americans moved to the South and Southwest (basically, all of the lowest states on a US map). This was facilitated by technological advances including air conditioning and mild winters and migration of baby boomers. Recently, the Sunbelt has been the site of much immigration (legal and illegal) from Latin America.</p>
This is all I can think of off the top of my head. Helping me as much as it’s helping you, I hope!</p>
