Flashcards?

Several students from last year found electronic flashcards from Study Blue helpful in studying for the test.  The advantages of Study Blue: it is a free app with pre-made flashcards.  Find the app on your phone's app store.......or check it out online at http://www.studyblue.com/online-flashcards/

Key Supreme Court Cases

This is the best chart of Supreme Court Cases I have found: the main cases clearly explained.  This is the work of Mr. Mitch White of the Weber School, private school in New York.

Helpful Website

This is a site that you might find helpful.   This guy is a legendary APUSH teacher. Lots of sample questions and review.  I strongly recommend review sheet #1 and  #3. http://faculty.polytechnic.org/gfeldmeth/USHistory.html
