Comments from former APUSH students to help keep you motivated! ? ? ??????????You may think that you understand the material when you are reading but when you get to school and you begin discussing it in class you will change your mind about that. Make sure to take notes like crazy and to ask as many possible questions you can until you understand it as if you were there. You will have so much fun in this class. P.S. you will not sleep again until after the test ??????????DON""T FEAR THE TEST, MAKE THE TEST FEAR YOU!" ?????????It will all be worth it once you walk out of the test after acing it. ?????????Don't slack on the reading!! And do your note cards well! You'll need them later! ?????????"Read! It really helps in the long run?
