<p>Ok, I haven't started studying yet, but I am on Chpt. 38 of The American Pageant. I don't think I'll be able to finish both books so should I just finish the American Pageant and then review what ever is left, or should I just skip those and try to read my review book as fast as possible?</p>
<p>I have the Kaplan's book and an old PR review book.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I forgot how many chapters are in the american pageant book seeing as how I haven't opened it in weeks ... but it has about 40-something right? You don't have that much to go, and present stuff will only appear very few times on the MC, so I would go ahead and just read the review books. good luck =)</p>
<p>I'm thinking about just reading up the 80's and then reading the review books. Right now I'm at the beginning of the 70's. </p>
<p>I guess I'm just afraid that they put the DBQ on Clinton or something, or Bush Senior.</p>
<p>To anyone who's taking AP Exam for US History, I strongly recommend REA.
So start memorizing REA. Forget about the Pageant; you don't have enough time on your hands.</p>
<p>Is this the right REA book?

thats the one I have.</p>
<p>Too late for me to get that book. The only reason why I'm even considering finishing Pageant is because I have gotten so far. I talked to my teacher and he said that I should just read up to Regan and then go right on to the review book.</p>
<p>There are outlines availabel for the Pageant online. Just google 'AP US History notes'. I got a 5 with them.</p>
<p>Also, there have been very few questions past 1970 on most exams.</p>
<p>Although I consider myself to be 'kickass' in History, I do not feel confident in studying the online outlines solely. I am no super genius. </p>
<p>Whar, what if they decide to change it or something, I don't know, I guess I'm just being paranoid. I want to be able to handle any FRQ/DBQ they throw at me.</p>
<p>isnt it true that no dbq will deal solely with the period after 1970? can anyone confirm this?</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure andrea's right about the dbq's and the '70s. it will help you to know about the '70s, but i was able to get a 5 last year and didn't know much about the last 3 or so decades. but i'm positive my score was based largely on luck.. so try to know at least the basics if you have time.</p>
