<p>400 years of AP U.S. History in two days…think I can do it?</p>
<p>probably not</p>
<p>I crammed the entire of world history last night, and I aced the test.</p>
<p>Yes you can, I have a story concerning us history that motivates a lot of people . . I’ll tell you a minute though, phone’s ringing</p>
<p>thanks for your undying support, logistics…at least the others are nice!
I got a 53% on a mini diagnostic…but retook it after studying that section and got 100%!</p>
<p>jackson, remember: all you need to do is get half right to pass.</p>
<p>could be because you remembered the answers?</p>
<p>… just a question why are you waiting until now to do this? But sure you can do it, if you avoid sleeping and you cram until the exam (which by the way might not be the way to do it!)… good luck!</p>
<p>Well, according to (my friend) Jake you can read an APUSH chapter in 30 minutes and get about 70% on the test. 33 chapters (in reality, chapter 33 is not needed…) total x .5 hours = 16.5 hours of reading. Have fun.</p>
<p>I’ve been studying for about a month, but for the entire last week, I couldn’t for medical reasons and I lost some valuable time…I think I’ll pass, but I want a 4 at least.</p>
<p>Sorry about that. It seems like things always happen at the worst times… My advice: look at timelines, in your textbook or elsewhere. Don’t worry about memorizing them; just get a basic familiarity with eras and names–it’s surprising how much you can pick up from a few skims. These websites have good ones : <a href=“http://www.animatedatlas.com/timeline.html[/url]”>http://www.animatedatlas.com/timeline.html</a> for basic info, and <a href=“http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/amlit/timefram.html[/url]”>http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/amlit/timefram.html</a> for more in-depth research. A lot of the test is common sense, also, so don’t get too stressed. Good luck!</p>
<p>Heya jackson, last year I was in the same predicament as you.</p>
<p>I generally hate history, I’m much more biology/chemistry oriented, so I didn’t pay much attention in class. By the time AP tests rolled around, i was majorly screwed. In fact, I coudln’t read my ap history book without being incredibly bored, so I never did.</p>
<p>I picked up an REA book literally 2 days before and just crammed as much as I could, using a highlighter. Didn’t do any practice tests or anything. Just looked over possible FRQ topics a little more thoroughly, that’s all.</p>
<p>This was my first AP test, so, ignorance got the better of me, and on test day, I left 21/80 questions blank. I thought you were supposed to only answer about 60, i was quite mistaken though.</p>
<p>The FRQs were very messy with a lot of scratchouts, written in black inky pen, and later I came home and remembered a whole lot of stuff I could have included but didnt.</p>
<p>Yeah, came home and had a big long cry, thought i failed.
turns out, i got a 4.</p>
<p>SO IT IS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN DO IT JACKSON :)</p>
<p>maybe you’ll get lucky and all the questions will be about jackson</p>
<p>^ Haha. Funny.</p>
<p>I’m gonna be cramming history tomorrow as well. 9:15 AM to whenever I go to sleep. 12 hours at least, straight through.</p>
<p>Also, look at [url=<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=172788&highlight=pushing+apush]this[/url”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=172788&highlight=pushing+apush]this[/url</a>], it has a lot of last minute cramming sites, including a 71 page word document on the entire history of the United States, everything you need to know.</p>
<p>Good luck to you ap us history takers :)</p>
<p>ooohhhh…thanks sarorah!</p>
<p>
Oooh…I found that last year when I was cramming those last 1.5 weeks. Saved my life, that thing. I read that, I read REA, I got a five. And that was all the studying I did. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s a helpful site, though it makes me wonder why the teachers haven’t found it yet…</p>
<p>My friend didn’t pay attention in APUS all year. She read an entire review book the night before the exam and got a 5.
Personally, cramming is my favorite study method.</p>
<p>dont sweat it…besides, you’ll MAYBE find 2 question before 1650, and 2 after 1980…that narrows it down 330 years</p>
