[oeduardo67]

So my ap us history exam is coming. I'm so nervous but very confident. Tell me how that works. Has anyone taken it? Who else has taken it at one point in their highs school lives. And what you do to study or get prepared for the following few days leading up.to the exam.

History is the easiest subject to study for. It's already happened once.

Not when you have an almost 2000 pg textbook lol. And about 400 pages of notes.

There are lots of study tips.
Maybe google?

If in class, I quit taking notes and simply wrote down anything the teacher said more than once.
In times tests, I usually start at the last page so when time gets tight, I'm already finished with the last few pages.

also count time.
How much time per question do you have?
I've skipped along and answer what I KNOW first.
The only problem is IF you get out of synch and answer questions one out of sequence.

Is it a fill in the bubble with #2 pencil type test?

yeah, I'd google 'test taking tips'.

As an 'off to college present', I told my daughter to get a few books on test WRITING< pretending she's a teacher and now knows HOW tests are written.

It's a very competitive world out there.
For complicated stuff, even when my eyes were blurry from reading, I'd just read into a tape recorder and listen to that crap every chance I got, in the car, in traffic,
cooking dinner.
Lots of theorhetical chemistry and stuff I never wanted to remember so that made it worse.
Luckily, history is something we can all learn from and actually has some reality significance in the world.

I'm not sure of your age group and your study habits, but I found by shutting myself in to a quiet place with no distractions I could concentrate. No phones or computers in the room either, they are just timewasters. I was an adult learner at the time I really wanted to study for a career change and found it easy to study properly. Good luck!
