APUSH... how do you guys remember the things you need to remember?

What is this American Pageant? Your book? I used one called America: A Narrative History by Tindall and Shi. I think it might have been a college textbook, I don’t know. Whatever it was, I got a 5 and a 780 on the SAT II.

APUSH goes one of two ways. Either you can remember the stuff fairly easily by nature, or you need to study your brains out. You’ll figure out which one you are pretty quickly, if you don’t know already. If you’re one who must study, then buy your own copy of the book if you can, and highlight key parts. Flip back through the chapter before any tests and scope the highlighted bits. Also, before unit tests, and especially before the AP test, make review sheets. Make them colorful and silly. Store-bought flashcards are okay, but the act of writing the review yourself sometimes helps more than the actual studying.

Good luck!
