This Friday, October 14, marks the end of Quarter 1 of APUSH. On that day, you will take a cumulative quarter final exam over everything we have studied so far. The questions on this exam will be modeled on the AP exam you will take in May. The questions will be tied less to our specific textbook and broader in scope.

My advice to you is to begin a review using the Princeton Review books you have checked out. For each time period we have studied so far there are a few pages of summary you should read and study from. You should:

1. Understand in general what defined the time period. What is the historical context for everything that happened during that period? (The beginning of each chapter of your textbook tries to give you that sort of overview. Look at the first page of each chapter to orient yourself.) 2. Memorize a few "anchor dates" for each period that will help you chronologically frame what you need to know. 3. Commit to memory the people, terms and events in **bold** in the Princeton Review book. Be able to give a 1-2 sentence description of "what" happened and a 1-2 sentence analysis of why it's important ("so what"). Test yourself. It's not necessary to write it down, but can you intelligently say what happened and why it's important? 4. Think about how the people, terms or events fit into the general context of the period. AP questions want you to look at the broader implications of the events rather than a simple recitation of what they are. In other words, they emphasize analysis over description.

I also recommend that you begin to develop "study buddies" outside of class. These would be people you know from class with whom you could meet to study. Studying together and quizzing each other on the material is a great idea.
