You rock!!!
So do you. Thanks for watching.
no you rock Erika hahaha
Thank you for your guidance on the Key Concepts. I have been trying to follow Ted Dickson’s pacing guide for APUSH but, really….focusing on the Key Concepts in conjunction with Mr. Dickson’s Essential Questions has been helpful to guiding the students to the main idea style of the new curriculum. Thanks for your help and I am awaiting the FITB for Period 5 with heated anticipation! 🙂
Thanks for using the Key Concept videos, I appreciate it. I just uploaded the video guide for it. 5.2 will be up by Sunday. Good luck this year!
Thank you kindly. I’m a beginner APUSH teacher…trying to follow a Master teacher’s pacing guide that doesn’t provide as much as I need. So, I’m having fun with the process ;). Thanks again. My students really like the FITB guides.
Thanks for the message. I’m glad you and your students have found my website helpful. If you need anything, let me know. Good luck to you and your students.
Adam
Will you be posting review videos and key concepts for time periods 6-9 as well?
Yes, those will be up soon and continuing throughout the year. Thanks for watching.
Hey just wanted to know when 5.2 will be uploaded. Oh and thanks for all you have done so far!
I will upload it tomorrow night. Sorry it’s late!
When will key concept 5.3 be up?
I will record it tomorrow and upload it then. Thanks for watching.
Kids still appreciating your Key concept FITB and Videos much better than chapter reviews! Let me know how I can donate to you. I think I’ve donated a little so far but, will continue to say thanks as much as I can.
Thank you so much. I’m thrilled to hear that they are useful. If you would like to donate, I do have a button through PayPal located on the right side of this page: https://www.apushreview.com/about/. That is incredibly kind of you, thanks. Good luck to you and your students.
thank you so much for all you do! could you please add the Civil War guide? thanks again
Thanks for watching. I just added it. Good luck!
Hey there…the FITB for 5.3…it’s coming up as a word document that is not what you normally have…
Rebecca
I’ll fix it now, thanks.
Hi, this is a heartfelt thank you coming from Belgium. My APUSH class is a small group of 10th grade expats and this is exactly the kind of support we need to get through the material in an efficient yet thorough way. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for writing this. That’s amazing that my videos are being used in Belgium. Best of luck to you and your students. Please let me know if I can help at all.
Hi! I LOVE your videos! They help me so much because my APUSH teacher is so boringggg. I was wondering if you would have time period 6 up by December 19th? These help my study for my tests so much!
I can’t promise I’ll have the whole thing done by then, but at least some. Good luck!
You much be incredibly busy..anticipating your Unit 5! :). Thanks for all you do!
Unit 5? I have the key concept videos. Which video do you mean?
Hi, love your videos and I’d like to thank you for making APUSH easy. I was wondering when the videos for period 6 were being released?
6.1 will be out in just a few days. Thanks for your support.
I don’t know where I’d be without you. I can’t imagine where you find the time, energy and understanding to write produce and provide resources for all of these videos. You are a history guru. My scholars love your videos. I think they learn more from you than they ever have from me.
I look forward to seeing Period 6.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I’m thrilled to hear the videos are beneficial to you and your students. I will give you a shout out in the Key Concept 6.3 video. 6.1 will be out in the next few days. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your videos! I am a high school student with a (new to APUSH) teacher whose teaching skills, unfortunately, are insufficient. Your videos ARE saving me and WILL save me on the AP exam this May! Thank you again for being a great teacher!
I really appreciate the kind words, thank you. Best of luck this year, you’ll do great.
Hi! My teacher Mr. Flynn requires us to watch Mr. John Green’s US History Crash Course videos and although his videos are very helpful its super fast and sometimes gets me overwhelmed but your videos are better and are at a good pace. They’re even more informative. I just wanted to tell you that you’re doing a good job! My teacher Mr. Flynn referred me to your videos! Check out his website whatsupmrflynn.weebly.com <—- he's great!
Thank you to you and Mr. Flynn. I will give a shout out in the Key Concept 7.1 video when I make it in the next few weeks.
last minute study for midterm! ahhhhhh this website rocks
I hope it helped!
Pretty sure this is the only reason I’m doing well in APUSH.
You do well because you’re smart. Thanks for your support though.
Thank you for your awesome videos! We watch them in class all the time for review- they really help! Our teacher Mr. Carr loves you and your review videos! Thanks again!
That’s great to hear. Thanks for your support. Good luck!
Thank you so much for making these videos. For the past three months in APUSH, I did not understand the big picture at all, and I fail the essay tests ALL THE TIME. However, a week ago, when I watched these videos, I can feel my writing skills improve a lot just because how articulate and well-explained these videos are. Thank you so much for your dedication into this awesome website and saving the APUSH students. You are awesome.
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. I’m glad the videos are helpful. Good luck!
I wish I found these videos earlier- hopefully a life saver! I’ll see after tomorrow’s test! (:
Good luck. I hope you do great!
i got a 96 on my exam because of these videos thank u for saving my life
You got a 96 because you are brilliant. If the videos helped a little, I’m thrilled. Best of luck! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for all of your help, this has really made everything a lot better with the transition into the new exam. I am studying the 1844-1877 Unit right now, and I was wondering which chapters in America’s History (8th ed.) I should read through in order to best prepare for the test? The chapters overlap and don’t exactly hit the time frame I’m looking for so I’m slightly confused as to how to study with the textbook…
Your videos helped me clear up the main ideas in those textbooks :0 My APUSH Teacher also posted this site as a link to help us study for our midterms, how great!
That is great to hear. I appreciate your support as well as your teacher’s. Best of luck this year!
Thank you for all your videos. Do your review videos go with the midterm that the college board released on period 1-5?
Yes. I am giving that midterm next week and I have instructed my students to make sure they watch my periods 1 – 5 videos. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much for all of your videos! They helped me get a 100 on my APUSH midterm and I’m looking forward to viewing more of your videos!
That’s awesome, Congrats!
Hi there! I am an APUSH student and just wanted to thank you so much for your videos!! They are so very helpful and informative! We watch your videos in class all the time and we love them!! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos to help students retain principle information for not only period tests in class but also the AP exam in May! I know I’ll definitely be rewatching your videos come springtime!! 🙂 I was also just wondering if you would give our AP teacher a shoutout in one of your videos? His name is Mr. McCullough at West Shamokin and he’s the best teacher ever! Anyway, if you would do that it would be great! But thank you so much for everything you do for AP students everywhere!!! 🙂 ~Taylor
Hello, look for it in Key Concept 8.2 this week. Thanks for your support!
Thank you very much for helping out 8th Grade GREAT teacher, Mr. Gibson, teach the subject of Bleeding Kansas very nicely.
That’s awesome. Thanks for watching. Good luck to you and everyone in your class!
Thank you soo much for these amazing videos. You made my life easier but I had a question if I only study from the reviewed videos that match 2015 testing will I get a 4 or I need to look at the old videos too? Thanks
Hi Adam!
Thank you for always posting such wonderful videos! I was wondering if we should know “Other videos I’ve done that relate to this topic include:” in the comments below on YouTube videos for AP exam coming up in May.
Hi! I don’t think it’s necessary to watch every video. What I would do is watch the ones that you may not be as familiar with. If you are comfortable with Manifest Destiny, for example, by all means save some time and study something else. Hope that helps, good luck!
Bruh!! Your are the most awesomest preson on Earth <3 .. Lol Now i kinda feel good about my Mock exam tomorrow !!!
APUSHers at Paschal High School in Fort Worth TX are big fans of your videos!
these videos are SO SO helpful! Thank you so much!
Habari! Asante sana Bwana Norris kwa vidio yako! Imesaidia sana. Tunatoka Kenya y clasi ya Bwana Harrison. Mungu Barikiwa!
(Hello! Thank you very much Mr. Norris for your videos! They were very helpful. We are from Kenya and Mr. Harrison’s class. God bless you!)
Kenya! That is awesome. Thanks so much for the support!
Will you be putting the video guide for the PowerPoint on the Reconstruction Amendments (13 – 15)?
Thanks, this site helps both students and teachers.
Just fixed it, didn’t realize it wasn’t there. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi, I have been passing my APUSH tests till date because of your videos on the key concepts. I was just curious if you will be uploading the revised versions of period 5 videos or not. Please let me know.
Thanks for all your incomparable support!!
5.1 is up, the next two will be within a week or so.
Literally the greatest right now. My teacher, Mr. Johnson from Manhattan, NY gives us the hardest tests ever, and this helps me study weeks before the test and pass. So thank you so much for that!
Thank you so much! My classmates and I watch your videos so often, I feel as though none of us could pass without you. Thanks again from my classmates and my teacher, Mr. Ruch (pronounced Rook) from Center Valley, PA!
Mrs. Brangers apush class loves these videos. Thank you so much!!
There is a 100% chance I’m downloading all the powerpoints to study for my midterm… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You are beyond helpful, and my class is so grateful for your videos, they are our saving grace. YOU ROCK! Thank you so very much from my classmates and teach Ms. Keske from St. Paul, Minnesota
