Section One: Online resources
Although I have not spent extensive time on all of these sites, from at least a cursory scan, they look to provide helpful review. They are listed in no particular order.
This site bills itself as "Your total resource for Advanced Placement United States History Review." You can be the judge of that.
This site should be treated as a companion to your American Pageant readings. Do not treat it as a substitute for reading. It contains chapter review outlines, vocabulary help, topic outlines, practice tests, and more. Don't cut corners. Mind the IB learner profile!
This site applies to a previous addition of your American Pageant textbook. It contains chapter outlines and should be used only for review after you've done your reading homework.
This site belongs to another APUSH teacher, Ms. Pojer. You might recognize that I have linked to this site on my period content pages. Her class uses a different textbook, but she has helpful content and links.
This site has an online practice test. Use it to identify areas of weakness in your content knowledge, but do not think of it as a measure of how well you will do on the AP exam. It is not like the AP exam.
