yeah, timing yourself is VITAL! the lack of time always gets me on ap exams, especially for the mc. take at least one practice test.

honestly, you should really focus on the class. do really well on the tests, and read everything. that’s what i did, and i got a 5 with minimal studying. the week before, i took two practice tests, decided i remembered well enough, and that was it LOL



DBQ : 3 Groups that make sense formulated in a good Thesis , POV has to be great



i don’t think the 3 groups thing is necessary, but it’s true how the graders really want a clear thesis. just don’t leave anything open to interpretation. it should basically be almost as clear as “my thesis is blah blah blah.” but of course do NOT actually write that.

also, according to my euro teacher, passive voice is a big deal for ap graders. every now and then is fine, but if you aren’t writing in active voice for most of your essay, as in it’s glaringly obvious, then they’ll take points off (according to my teacher). my apush teacher said the same thing, so i imagine it is important.
