<p>Hey everyone!</p>

<p>So, I self study US History and I'm doing my revision right now for the test this Saturday and I really need to know some specifics of what to memorize. </p>

<p>Besides the main themes and very outstanding people do I have to memorize:</p>

<p>(1) Names of Spanish, French, European and Netherlandish explorers, what and when they discovered?</p>

<p>(2) Exactly which areas the countries above controlled (eg. Spain: San Juan, Santiago, Havana, Veracruz, Santa Marta, and the list goes on)</p>

<p>(3) During Pre-Independence, the year certain states became royal colonies and then got their charters back again? Some states go back and forth, do I need to know each year? </p>

<p>(4) Personal information on the presidents (date of birth, death, wife's name)</p>

<p>(5) Names of every Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of War (first Cabinet)</p>

<p>I know we have to learn the themes of all the eras and outstanding people and their significant contributions. I just hope you guys and tell me to about what degree of detail must I go into while memorizing/ revising. </p>

<p>THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I hope you can answer all the questions cos I don't have a teacher or a friend who does so I really don't have anything to benchmark myself against.</p>

<p>I don’t know the answers to your questions, but here’s a link to an AP USH cram packet I found online a couple years ago when my son was taking it:</p>

<p>Don’t know how good it is - he never looked at it! Good luck on Saturday.</p>

<p>Just my opinion. I think the first three dont come up that prominently but it is worth a quick review. the last two just forget them and i think every US citizen knows the first cabinet members since birth lol XD
BTW im a mongolian in mongolia</p>
