APUSH people - READ THIS!

now that it is almost the end of the semester you really need to start thinking about preparing for the AP test.

First, you need to get the review book. I posted an option on the blog a couple of months ago. But any book would do from Kaplan, Cliff Notes, etc... Amazon.com has several options so start there. Be sure to search for 2010 though.

Second, start looking online for sample quizzes, DBQ's, free responses etc... a good place to start is the College Board site http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/history_us/samp.html?ushist. But, you can also just start searching.

If you really want to pass this test (which you are all capable of doing!) you might consider studying a least an hour a week now through like Feb. and then pick up the pace March and April to a couple of hours a week until the exam.

It is worth it - I promise :)
