<p>It's on friday and all I have to say is that I'm basically screwed for it. I'm not done reading AMSCO and all this info is just an overload. But from what I've heard it's a pretty easy exam.</p>
<p>How are you guys feeling? How are you studying? Right now I'm using AMSCO and old notes taken in class through out the year and the PR to practice on some practice tests...should I bother picking up flashcards ? Is it too late or useless at this point?</p>
<p>I’m worried more about the DBQ and FRQs; I’m afraid I might freeze and forget everything lol. MC should be easy enough though.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve been going to Barnes & Nobles to study, cause they have copies of Crash Course, which I’m using to supplement Amsco.</p>
<p>We finished the AMSCO book today, and Im not going to do well at all.</p>
<p>started studying AMSCO yesterday, got to chapter 9… hope I can pull this one off!</p>
<p>I’m using AMSCO too. Wayyy too much information, which causes me to highlight a lot.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How many hours are you devoting to a chapter?</p>
<p>I spent like an hour per chapter when I outlined it for review (I only did beginning to Monroe then Truman to present, however)</p>
<p>finished amsco. well i didn’t read the stuff on george w bush but whatever
i’m gonna take the practice today and finish my barrons notecards
and then i’m going to read a lot of crash course tomorrow and do the test online.
we did a practice test at school (2006) and i did surprisingly well. but we’re doing the 2001 one right now and i’ve been doing terribly. so idk. i’m so nervous though</p>

<p>lolz…have fun with that</p>
<p>I’m banking on my multiple choice section.
We only did 2 essays did year, both of which I did bad on.
Hopefully I can write regular essays and my MC subscore will be enough.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me things about the Manifest Destiny?</p>
<p>i’m totally screwd for the essays.</p>
<p>READ Princeton Review… thats what i did and i got a 4 (:</p>
<p>I read AMSCO but I don’t remember anything!!! Aaaaarrrrgggg</p>
<p>Manifest Destiny is basically the idea that it is America’s God-given right to expand to the Pacific. I think the term was first used by O’Sullivan.</p>
<p>AMSCO + memory + common sense + luck = hopefully a satisfactory score</p>

<p>Thanks! 10char</p>
<p>@scholarapactsat also remember that imperialism was theodore roosevelt’s expansion of this idea. with the roosevelt corollary, he was able to further expand democracy across the seas with the hope of acomplishing hemispheric hegemony. important secretaries of state at the time were james g blaine whom had helped with the annexation of hawai’i and william h seward, known for seward’s folly, who helped with the acquisition of alaska. GOOD LUCK TO US ALL THIS FRIDAY!!!</p>
<p>^ also follow up on Taft’s “Dollar diplomacy” and Wilson’s “moral diplomacy”. </p>
<p>I’m not really liking the cute little terms like new deal, fair deal, square deal, new frontier, new federalism, dynamic conservatism</p>
<p>Wilson and Taft had little or nothing to do with MANIFEST DESTINY…</p>
<p>Don’t confuse the questioner.</p>
<p>I can constantly get into 60-67 range for mcs, so i calculated that all i need to get a 5 is to get or “keep” 5s for all three essays (so even a 4 for one frq will do).</p>
<p>So I want to know is it hard to get 4s and 5s? (I practiced no more than 3 essays…)</p>
