Preparing for the APUSH exam with less than a month left?

<p>Yeah, so I kind of skipped out on reviewing, and now, there's less than a month until the real thing.</p>

<p>Any idea on what I can do to review within this limited time frame? </p>

<p>I have AMSCO and Crash Course.</p>

<p>First focus on these three topics:

  1. Key Terms - Chapter 2 in Crash Course
  2. African American History - Use Crash Course and Amsco chapters
  3. Women’s History - Use Crash Course and Amsco chapters
    Then go to AP Central and take a look at the following Free-Response answers and DBQ’s on these topics: 2001 Exam Question 2; 2000 Exam Question 3 (the level 9 essay is a model of how to do a free-response essay); 2002 Exam Question 5; 2002 Exam Form B Question 5; 2003 Exam Question 5; 2006 Exam Question 1 DBQ on Cult of Domesticity.</p>

<p>After you have reviewed/studied these 3 topics use Crash Course and Amsco to focus on these three eras:

  1. The Jacksonian Period
  2. The Progressive Era (ie rise of the Progressives, muckrakers, TR, reforms)
  3. FDR and the New Deal</p>

<p>And finally, use Crash Course supplemented by Amsco to study these key topics:

  1. Native American History
  2. Key Supreme Course Cases - study the ones in Crash Course Chapter 26. This should be more than enough. If you want a few additional cases use Chapter 17 in AP US Government and Politics Crash Course.
  3. Key Works of Literature, Art, and Music - this is important. Six of these works of Literature were on the 09 exam.
  4. Key Facts About Labor Unions - generated a free-response question on the 09 exam
  5. Key Acts of Congress - Use Crash Course Chapter 19
  6. Immigration - be sure to study the Nativists, New Immigrants, and current trends
  7. Milestones in US Foreign Policy: Latin American - short but always generates some questions ie Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt Corollary, Good Neighbor, Alliance for Progress, Cuban Missile Crisis
  8. Vietnam War - now generates 3 multiple-choice questions per test. See the 2008 exam question 1 for a very good DBQ on the Vietnam War.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you, dark knight. But do you mind mentioning the specific Amsco chapters in which this info (such as African American History, Women’s History, etc.) can be found?</p>

<p>Anyone else with ideas?</p>

<p>I don’t think you should be that worried. Buy the Newman/Schmalbach review book, outline and memorize a chapter a day. Do 2 chapters a day once a weekend, and then review the material in the days left. I’m doing that, I’m right on track and not really concerned at all. You got time. Just use it, three hours a night.</p>

<p>To prevent any confusion for the OP, it’s AMSCO. If you have other APs to study for, just read the book.</p>
