<p>?
I don't want to waste time memorizing dates/numbers if its not tested on the AP or the US SAT II</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>We're not even tested on dates and numbers in my AP US History class. Now, order is important, and I mean order of events. You might not want to screw that up.</p>

<p>AP - no, but it wouldn't hurt. I'm pretty sure I missed two dates on the FR by about 10 years each and our teacher always told us that as long as you get the event right, the AP graders could care less about numbers.</p>

<p>My teacher always told us chronology is important; dates aren't.
He also told us if there is a date given in the body part of a multiple choice question, we should assume it's right.</p>

<p>At least know when the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWI and WWII is.</p>

<p>Haha, well that depends. Don't just say "The Treaty of Paris", since there were about 6 or 7 of them. Which one?
1763, end of Seven Years War?
1783, end of American Revolutionary War?
1898, end of Spanish-American War?
Paris Peace Conference after WWI?
1973, end of Vietnam War?</p>

<p>Plus about 100 more of them in European History.</p>
