<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>AP Exams are here, and I'm sure we're all cramming our brains out :D</p>
<p>I was wondering if I could solely use crash course for the U.S history material from 1960 onwards. My teacher said the essays don't usually go past that point [other than civil rights], so would it be a safe move? I have used AMSCO upto this point.</p>
<p>Thanks and good luck to you all!</p>

<p>I only read PR last year…didn’t even take an AP class, only the regular class.</p>
<p>Read PR last year until 1900 the night before the test, and did fine. (5). There really isn’t really much after the 1900s. Skim the PR or Crash course after that, and use your common sense.</p>
<p>We were really lucky last year with the FRQ, as you can tell if you look at them.</p>
<p>Since I am clueless on the 1960s, I’ve been using “A Narrative History” (but it also happens to be my textbook) and going over the decades and events that I didn’t understand.
You could also buy a Princeton Review or Barron’s study book.
If you’re looking for what the test will focus on. During that time period, I’d say Civil Rights (Blacks and Women), Bay of Pigs, Vietnam. Mostly Vietnam, though.</p>
