I will continue to add to this so keep checking back
1)Pace yourself. Also remember that in Essay portion of the test. It is good idea to make a quick outline
2)ANSWER THE QUESTION: You have to answer the question. If you don’t answer the question there’s no way you are going to get a five on the AP Exam
3)Don’t guess unless you can eliminate one choice. If you get a question wrong you lose 1/4 of a point while if you get one right you get a point
4)If you don’t know a question, skip and move on. If you have time at the end, go back to them
5) Be skeptical of extreme answers such as always and never. Very few things in history Always occur or Never occur.
6)Eliminate as many options as you can before answering the questions.
7)Constantly take practice tests prior to the exam to get the feel for how much time you should spend working on each section
8)As you progress through history there are more questions. Don’t spend as much time studying the pre-revolutionary era, as there will only be a few questions on this section. However areas such as the Civil war and progressive Era will have a ton of questions
