You can ask your US hist teacher for older copies for the exams.. I heard that the teachers auto get the copies or something.

I have the 1988 one! Man 100 questions.. I'm glad they changed it.

Airu> I took the 1988 one. From 80 onward it gets nuts. I only got 76 out of the 100 on that one.

Is REA enough for a 5 just by itself? Or should I go and read through my textbook?

Boomer> Yea I saw them as well. They are good with the unit notes where you may wish to find out some quick info from though. I am personally just using princeton review to get review some history and using that cram packet link posted before.

Made in China> No scanner sadly. Maybe someone else has one.

Okay everyone... I strongly advise AGAINST using this site- http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Pantheon/9910/

I was looking through it this morning, and it's terribly lacking. Among the numerous spelling errors (which are annoying, if nothing else), the author completely omits important areas of history (Johnson's impeachment, anyone?) and has several factual errors (pairing Gompers with the AFofL.)

The historian insights are great, and are extremely valuable to incorporate in DBQs. Otherwise, DON'T RELY ON THIS SITE.

^Yes spelling errors can be an annoyance sometimes, but who really cares, the spelling errors aren't numerous and you probably won't be bothered by it. Yes some very important dates are omitted, that might be because this packet is for a review, and most important dates should already be known. Also besides Johnson's impeachment, what else is missing. About it having factuals errors, it might have some, can you tell me where. Ohh also pairing Gompers with AFL is not an error. Gompers was Pres for 30+ years. If thats the only mistake you found, which your wrong about, than I must highly doubt any truth you speak of the website.

Until someone can prove otherwise, I'll continue looking over the website.

Hey guys my teacher is a lazy guy.. He just gave us the 1988 exam and wont give us any other ones... I have gotten through the first twenty with only missing one. My question though is what do you guys think the FR questions will be this time? I hope one is on reconstruction (after the Civil War) and something about comparing the North and South governments. I am not too hot on the Populist/Progressive era. Any tips? I need help on that and everything else is pretty easy.
