Hey former APUSHers...I need your help. If you were to explain thesis statements to current APUSH students, what would you say?

@NinaStaben Yes, this is the highest percentage of passing grades we have ever had for APUSH 😊

No way

@shuyixu5 Let's not focus on that. If you attempted and wrote down relevant factual information, I'm sure you did fine 😊

Way to go guys! twitter.com/AP_Trevor/stat…

@gizelle78 The latest is that College Board created an email backup for the exam- if you have issues again there is a way to email the file to them.

@gizelle78 I'm sorry, but we have no idea. Hopefully things will go well for the retest

Ms. Phairr and I want to send out one final good luck message to all of you out there for today's exam! You've worked really hard for this!!! We believe in you!!!

@katieann2204 It's ok to be scared, just remember to brainstorm and think about what the question is asking

Good luck everyone! You got this!

@JohnnyDasuper Yes, you do... think positive

@virtualapush Do I tho? 😂

@NicolaiLazarev If you think like that, then you don't. Your negative thoughts can have a negative impact... think positive

@Lena08164489 It's your choice, but readers don't focus on grammar as much as the information.

@virtualapush ok great thanks so much! One more question, I do have grammarly in my computer but it didn’t seem to interfere with submission on the demo. Is there still a chance it wouldn’t work for the actual test or is it ok to keep it on in that case?

@FilippoPelleg18 Think big picture... what's happening concurrently with the time period

@virtualapush Yes, quick question what are some tricks to a really good contextualization, I always struggled with this.

Hope you all are studying hard for Friday's exam! You got this!!

@ellianak2 Do as much as you can to do all the pieces of a strong essay- I don;t know how the score will breakdown this year because it is so different than years past.

@Matt09627214 Nope

@virtualapush Will I be deducted points for using the words “historical context” in my essay?

@ellianak2 If you can try to do it throughout, but you could also do a separate paragraph- not everyone supported this or something like that

@Lena08164489 No need for a separate paragraph- especially with shortened time. For example, if the document was on the Kansas Nebraska Act, include your outside info on the formation of the republican party right there

@virtualapush hi! When it comes to using outside evidence for the DBQ, is it best to have two separate outside evidence paragraphs, or can we use outside evidence to support a point along with the documents?

@rache0517 Check on the CB website. The checklist will also be on the question as it always is :)

@FanCalc Remember he wanted to impose tariffs to pay off war debt. SC thought the tariffs were too high and therefore threatened to secede from the union

@virtualapush could you talk about the significance of jackson’s nullification crisis? i’m still a little confused about that

@Annalanningw Nope. Totally correct. Spanish intermarried with natives, English did not
