Participants will be able to follow along with me and ask questions as I work through questions written in the same format as the questions they will encounter on their exams.

Multiple Choice Strategy Guide

Although the APUSH multiple choice section may look like a reading comprehension exam, it isn't. Few of the questions that you will encounter are directly connected with the stimulus item that precedes them and the ones that do often simply require you to be familiar with the topic. For example, if the stimulus is a passage from William Lloyd Garrison's, The Liberator, you don't have to read it. You just make note that you're about to answer 3-4 questions related to antebellum reform and abolitionism. The key to passing this exam is realizing that it is a regular multiple choice test, just packaged to look more challenging than it is.
