#apush prep

After (somehow) surviving apush I would just like to voice my thoughts, and hopefully, this might help some other people out.

First off: this is a tough class, there’s a reason why passing the exam gives you so many college credit hours. From my knowledge, this is one of the most content-filled AP classes there is: you have a lot you need to memorize for the test and it comes up on you quick. 

If your teacher doesn’t have you write practice long essays/free responses, short answers, and DBQ’s, make sure you are testing yourself at home and really making sure you know the content. My teacher actually hosted two Saturday study sessions the weeks before the test and a majority of the students went in to review both of those days. 

MAKE SURE YOU ARE CONSTANTLY REVIEWING OLD MATERIAL: I cannot stress this enough. The 1800′s are going to take up most the year since a LOT of stuff happened in that era, try to memorize as much as you can and don’t lose focus because it takes a lot to catch back up.

If you take a test on each chapter search, “Chapter __ APUSH test” on Quizlet, and all of the flashcards will be pretty much if not exactly the same as on the actual test, but make sure that you are studying your chapter and not one from the other commonly used textbook. 

My friend and I made a HUGE study guide for everything we learned in AP on Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/a/croslex.org/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQZ5U9GY8_dcbWqzmbcepwwenAWWmn9yw7Dro4s3lt9Ao7fUB2kDeeUdNOv7yQ2oj5a-UzTL-BBa_lR/pub

That’s right. That is RIGHT. Here’s another study guide. I know how much y’all like study guides. Hope you like them even more……………………. NOW THAT THEY COME IN COLOR. WHAAAAAAAAAAT IS UP.

It’s been four hecking days since I last updated those study guides. Mind you, I’ve had quite a lot happen in those four days, including preparation for elections in a club of mine (I got elected as one of the officers. Cue the fanfare!), homework, preparation for Earth Week for Environmental Club, two essays, and I have a lot of studying to do. 

I finished up a quick study guide about other countries settling America. Here it is! Yes, it is short, but its brevity is justified by the lack of relevance this information has to the entire APUSH exam as a whole. 

Hello, all! Third study guide has been published and added to this page, which can always be found under the ‘explore!’ menu on my home screen.

As always, I’m still truckin through and making more study guides for you to use. These resources, which can be found under ‘tags’ on my 'explore!’ menu, are readily available, too. Basically here is where I get outside sources, along with the notes I already have. Have some topic outlines, as well. Practice tests, key vocabulary terms,timelines, and essays are also in abundance. 

Hello! Quite a lot of you have reblogged the first APUSH study guide I’ve posted. So here’s number two. Happy studying!
