"As is clearly shown, you can achieve a 5 by correctly answering just 58 percent of the questions and a 4 by correctly answering just 47 percent of the questions!" (Larry Krieger, AP* U.S. History Crash Course)
Yeah right...like I'll even be able to do so well with the test tomorrow. In the Princeton Review practice test, I got 47 correct, 30 wrong, and whatever the rest was omitted. That worked out to be 39.5 raw points - multiply that by 90/80, and I'd get 44 pts. Which is enough for a 1.
I'll try to remember as much as I can. American history is all very interesting. Looking at how history repeats itself so much (ie, FDR and Churchill vs. Obama and Brown, on behalf of our current economy) is always amusing. Plus, there's always my favorite...American scientific achievements. You can't forget about the race to space program during the Cold War. Or the Wright Brothers inventing the first operable airplane. As always, I'm horrible at memorization, and I only remember stuff I want to remember.
I stopped studying at 23:30. I was looking at College Bored's (no that is not a typo) website and looked at the APUSH course description. I reviewed some multiple choice questions and called it a night.
In the mean time, for the rest of the night, I'll be relaxing by having a nice chat with one of my friends, Gabe, who is basically already in college at UC Merced. It's always nice to talk to good friends, and it's also good to relieve any other stresses I may have for the test. Heck, here's his post at his blog.
