<p>i started reading the rea apush a couple days ago and i am currently on pg 154 / 3 hundred something. i ordered the amsco apush yesterday and by the time i get it i should be done with rea. i am guessing at that time i will have around 1-2 weeks to study and will cram the amsco(this will also help me study for sat history).on weekends i will do a total of 4 hrs of study for ap english w/ cliffs until exam time.. sound good? anyone have other suggestions or recommendations?</p>
<p>Sounds great. You just gotta make sure you stick to your plan now =]</p>
<p>no problem... if everything fails i will cram 4 nights before the test with some ritalin.</p>
<p>I wouldn't recommend your backup plan, but good luck nonetheless.</p>
<p>Just a suggestion..I took apush last year (with a really bad teacher who did nothing but give us handouts and tell us to read). I didn't have a good overview of history b/f the exam so I bought the Kaplan book a week before, read the entire thing, and passed with a 5. It gave me a really good general overview of history if you need it... I also memorized the Spark notes flash cards (from the 5 to a 5 pack) and found them really helpful. I'm sure rea and amsco are great...I didn't use them...but I really like Kaplan if you don't like them. It's definitely possible to pass apush with a 5 if you study history enough. Just keep reviewing and memorize facts. Also, it helped me to memorize events by era and also by president (forget the ones after Lincoln and before Teddy Roosevelt though...just know the important ones...the early ones and then the modern ones...)
Good luck!</p>
