APUSH Practice MC

“Concerning the treatment of Native American workers:

When they were allowed to go home, they often found it deserted and had no other recourse than to go out into the woods to find food and to die. When they fell ill, which was very frequently because they are a delicate people unaccustomed to such work, the Spaniards did not believe them and pitilessly called them lazy dogs, and kicked and beat them; and when illness was apparent they sent them home as useless, giving them some cassava for the twenty- to eighty- league journey. They would go then, falling into the first stream and dying there in desperation; others would hold on longer, but very few ever made it home. I sometimes came upon dead bodies on my way, and upon others who were gasping and moaning in their death agony, repeating ‘Hungry, hungry.’”

AP United States History Practice Questions

“To oppose those hordes of northern tribes, singly and alone, would prove certain destruction. We can make no progress in that way. We unite ourselves into one common band of brothers. We must have but one voice. Many voices makes confusion. We must have one fire, one pipe and one war club. This will give us strength. If our warriors are united they can defeat the enemy and drive them from our land; If we do this, we are safe . . . .

“And you of the different nations of the south, and you of the west, may place yourselves under our protection, and we will protect you. We earnestly desire the alliance and friendship of you all....”

My AP Review for Classes I Already Took

I can say, as a junior, I’ve taken quite a few AP Classes. I’ve completed 4 and I am currently in 6 more. It is safe to say I can give recommendations and my perspective toward a few classes. In this post I will focus specifically on the four I have already took!

AP Human Geography

My freshman year of high school I was put into AP Human Geography. In all honesty, I didn’t sign up for it and was not excited. The class was not exceptionally difficult. However, many of the things you learn are concepts that must be applied in order to truly succeed at the course. Unlike math where you learn a formula and use in every time or a normal history class where you just memorize events and people, you must analyze events and phenomenon and understand what the significance of it is. The coursework, which depends heavily on your teacher, was A LOT! Like a crazy amount. 2 guided note packets - about 4 pages front and back each - a week at least.

The great thing about this course is that it helps you understand your future history classes, especially AP, to a higher level. The terms you learn and everything you learn can actually be applied in many aspects of life and has helped me in my reading, science, and history classes. I recommend this as a fist time AP class. It is a wonderful foundation to start with.

At the end of the year you take an AP test. I can not accurately explain the atmosphere and difficulty of this test, since I took it during COVID when the test was altered for at-home testing. I can tell you my score: 4. I believe most people who actually pay attention and put a little bit of work into outside of class have the ability to pass - 3- the test!

RATING: 9/10

AP Seminar

I took this class my sophomore year of high school. This class focuses on learning to write college level papers and make higher-level presentations. There are 5 aspects to the AP score you get at the end of the year: group presentation, group paper, individual presentation, individual paper, and the test. These are not the official names of these part of your score, but it gets the point across clearly and is easier to remember.

Most teachers start by going over important aspects of this course such as plagiarism, citing, what a literature review is, analyzing sources, and how to create presentations.

Usually the first thing you will do that is sent to the college board is a group project. You, along with a few other people, will find a problem in the world, nation, state, or local community and research it. The goal is to have multiple perspectives on the problem, multiple solutions, a final solution, and limitations. Each person in the group take son a different prospective. Together you create a presentation sharing all of this information followed by a few reflection question (oral defense). Another part of this is creating a paper to go with it. This paper focuses specifically on your perspective of the question/problem your team has and does not need to include a solution.

The next things is an individual project. Unlike the group project, there are “stimulus sources” that have to be involved in both your paper and presentation in some form. You find the theme of these sources and find a problem surrounding the theme in order to form a question such as “How does child abuse of young girls affect their romantic relationships in the future?”. You write a paper about the research you collect. It will include multiple perspectives, a solution, and the limitation of your solution. You will then create a presentation showing this again with oral defense.

The actual test you take at the end of the year focuses on analyzing sources and creating arguments by writing. It has multiple written response sections.

This class was one of my most influential AP classes. It helped be learn how to correctly research and determine credibility. This course showed me how to create a persuasive argument. Arguably, this class is one of the most important classes an individual could take and I would recommend it to anyone, especially sophomores.

If you pass the AP class with a 3 or higher - I got a 3 - and then pass the secondary course, AP Research (currently in) , with a 3 or higher you earn an AP Capstone Diploma. This is a wonderful thing to be able to put on a resume. It is also why I recommend taking Seminar in your sophomore year, since it allows you to take Research your junior year and know of you earned you Diploma before putting it on resumes for college admission

RATING: 10/10

AP World History

This class is not necessary, but if you enjoy history, want to earn history credits before entering college, or need a boost in your GPA, I recommend it. It is one of the easier AP history classes and many people are able to successfully pass it. In fact, I was able to pass with a 4. The class extends across a long period of time giving you good general knowledge about history. It also helps develop document analyzing skills.

The AP test consists of a multiple choice section, a DBQ (discussion based question - An essay), and a short response section.

RATING: 6/10

AP Computer Science Principles

I am in a computer science program in my school, so I was required to take this class. I believe my rating may be biased since we had a lot of difficulties securing a teacher for the class leading to many challenges in learning the course. It is a widely passed test and most are able to score at least a 3 on it. It requires you to code a small project with many elements along with a test that is all multiple choice. I, thankfully, was able to pass with a 3

RATING: 3/10

Lists of Ways I, a Teen Girl, Earn Extra Cash!

Earning cash as a teenager can be stressful. Some parents don’t give out allowances or can’t afford to. Some teens have far too busy of a schedule to get a job during school. Here are a few ways I make some extra cash doing very little.

Ibotta

Ibotta is definitely one of my favorite ways to earn extra cash. It is a rebate app that allows you to clips offers they have and earn cash back for scanning receipts containing the items from the offers. It has a lot of store options and is very easy to work with.

Once you earn $20, which I won’t lie - takes some time, you can withdraw the money. There is multiple ways to withdraw your earnings from the app. You are able to exchange your earnings for a number of gift cards, by PayPal or through your bank.

This is a great way to earn a passive income for doing what you already do - shop. If you decide to try out this wonderful app feel free to enter my invite code: rhflcaj

Shopkick

Another one of my favorite rebate apps is Shopkick. It is a little faster and some what easier than Ibotta. There are three main ways to earn there form of points: kicks. You can get kicks from walking into certain stores, by scanning items in store - YES without purchasing them, and by scanning receipts where you bought eligible items.

Shopkick allows you to exchange points for gift cards. They have many options such as Walmart, PlayStation, Starbucks, and AMC. It may not be cold hard cash you can spend anywhere, but it is totally worth it.

If you decide to get this app feel free to use my referral code: NICE819386

Fetch

Fetch is another receipt scanning rebates app. The great thing about Fetch: every receipt guarantees you at least 25 points. This isn’t a lot of points considering a $3 gift card is around 3,500 points. However, there are many offers that up the amount of points you earn on receipts. Certain brands work with Fetch and provide more points depending on how many of their items you buy. Furthermore, New offers come almost everyday. As of today you can earn 200 points for purchasing some shredded cheese and 350 points for Ragu sauce.

A good rule of thumb for Fetch is that 3,500 points is $3, 5,000 points is $5 dollars, 10,000 points is $10, and so on. I usually use this app to redeem Dunkin donuts gift cards. The app is a really good way to earn some extra spending money!

If you decide to get this app feel free to use my referral code: JDN3BB

Poshmark

Poshmark is a wonderful way to get rid of stuff while earning cash. The only downside is the amount of time it takes. It takes time and effort to create quality listings and promote your listings. On the other hand, you can completely make up your own “hours”.

Posh allows users to post listing and have other users buy them. The amount of money you make is not the exact amount you list it as though. Posh takes care of the shipping price completely, but takes out a fee from the earning you make from an item. The earnings you make is calculated for you when you make a post!

In order to withdraw your earning you can either direct deposit it into a bank account or have them send you a check. Sending a check takes significantly longer time than direct depositing though.

If you decide to get this app feel free to use my referral code: RAVENHUFSTETLER

College board surveys

This way is not a constant form of getting extra cash. Collegeboard periodically provides surveys for AP students. These surveys are usually during the summer after AP testing has concluded. They have them nearly every Thursday for a couple months. By completing the survey (usually around 25 minutes) you can earn a 5-10 dollar gift card!
