How I got a 5 on the AP US History exam (and you can too!)

<p>BONUS PART: Cramming like crazy
A likely scenario that you might be facing is that you kind of sort of procrastinated when it came to studying. Now you’re facing haaving to study the same week for the exam. Yikes. No worries, you came to the right place</p>

[li]Get REA AP US History crash course[/li]It’s short, straight to the point, and it tells you what to expect on the ACTUAL EXAM (the author takes the AP US History exam every year, he knows what he’s talking about)
[li]Get to reading[/li]To prevent the scenario of a sleepless night, read whenever you have free time: during lunch, before school, on the bus, at the DMV. Have a note book and pencil at hand because you’re in for quite a bit of note taking, though for the sake of time, focus on your weakest time periods. If you’re truly in a stretch for time, ignore the time period 1980-present, I only saw a couple of questions on the time period on this year’s test. Follow the note taking method in post 2
[li]Review the notes you made during your cram sessions[/li][li]Work by efficiency: more work is applied to the weakest subject[/li]Meaning that if you’re having to spare a full practice test sitting, go over questions concerning your time period of interest.

[li]Outline your essays then write them down[/li]The FRQ’s are usually what screw people over, don’t let that be you. Be a hero to procrastinators everywhere
