[For APUSH] When she gives in-class prompts, actually do your best on the assignment. You won't be given too many chances outside of that to practice your APUSH writing skills and they can be very difficult to learn. Cornell notes are good for taking notes in class! It can be hard to remember events just by reading them over again and again. I know this is sort of unrealistic, but try your best to review old material throughout the year. It's really easy to forget events from the first couple of units. I encourage you to use other sources for your Key term IDs! It will take so much less time than reading the textbook, which has tons of extraneous information and explains things in convoluted ways. For multiple choice questions, none of the answers may seems right at first. Do your best to eliminate them one by one and choose the best answer. Remember not to dwell on each question too long. Every test will have MCQs so try your best to get good at them! One other thing I'll say is that Ms. Yee honestly has much higher standards than the AP test graders. It will be very difficult to do well on writing questions, at least at first, but that will help you when the AP test comes around. Her extra credit opportunities are often fun and not too hard, so try to take them when you can in case you don't do well on a test or two!
