STEP ONE--START HERE:
Video Review of Time Periods--Big Overviews: The video reviews below are designed for you to watch, remind you of your content that you have learned, and to provide a quick overview of the important, big picture things emphasized in each of the APUSH time periods. Taking notes would be repeating things you've already done, but what you should note is anything that is completely unfamiliar to you or that you know was something you missed on your quizzes. Specific review videos for each Key Concept are provided below. |

Special for Spring 2022 Only:
Do not spend time on the following quizzes listed on the right:
STEP TWO--QUIZ YOURSELF: Without the benefits of your notes, use these online quizzes to see how well you know your content. Celebrate your correct answers! For those questions on which you score incorrectly, note the topic of the question and then, use the key concept videos (below) to review the content you don't know. Further down the page you will find an array of specific topic videos that can narrow your study to just those specific areas that you missed. Following this method makes it so that you can end up spending valuable time studying things you already know instead of focusing your time by efficiently reviewing the things about which you aren't as familiar. |

APUSH Key Concept Review Videos: These videos are meant to be used to review many of the key concepts that you've learned throughout the study of this unit and are arranged according to the APUSH Key Concepts Topic Outline. Not all of the content you see in the reviews was necessarily chosen for class lessons (teachers in different places may emphasize different concepts), but these are great ways to remind yourself of the things you've learned. BEST USE HINT #1: Take practice quizzes on the US Quiz MainPage (HeartLady) to see which topics may be confusing to you. BEST USE HINT #2: Make notes only of the concepts you missed in the above referenced quizzes or that you don't remember from your study.
