How much for the short answer questions do we have to write this year?
since this is a new test, I just don’t know how it is going to work.
also great videos they are really helping me.
may God bless you for helping students like me that could sure use the help!
anorris21@yahoo.com says
From 2 different APUSH trainings I’ve been at, I was told 2-3 sentences for each section. For example, each question will have a part a,b, and c. For EACH letter, you should plan on writing 2-3 sentences. So for each question, you will have a total of 6-9 sentences. I tell my students to keep it short (again, 2-3 sentences) but to provide specific historical examples in their answers. Good luck!
Ricardo says
First of all I just want to thank you for these videos and the time you have put in them they are clear and to the point they have been a great help and guide for me to use but what happened to key concept video 6.3??
anorris21@yahoo.com says
I haven’t recorded 6.3 yet. It will be up this week. Thanks for your support. Good luck!
Gabriel Herrera says
Thanks for the great videos, helping me get by in my APUSH class
anorris21@yahoo.com says
Thanks for watching.
Derek M. says
Mr. Norris, sir, is there any chance that you could perhaps use some videos to discuss how to get a 5 on the long essay? My teacher tells me that I’m close to a 5, but that I need to beef up the intro. Some pointers would be really appreciated, Mr. Norris.
Faith says
I came across this while tirelessly looking for a review for my semester exam coming up. And just wanted to say, this is way way way better than my review as I was just reading from the Kaplan and not really understanding. I like how you broke up the sections and thoroughly explained it, along with with the big website. Thank you. I will be definitely use this as a review for the AP exam.
anorris21@yahoo.com says
I’m very glad you were able to find this site. Thanks for your support. Best of luck!

How soon can we expect period 7? No rush, just wondering how long it typically takes to finish a unit. Love your videos! They saved my life last semester!
anorris21@yahoo.com says
I’ll finish 6.3 sometime this week, then I’ll start on 7. So probably 2 weeks or so I’ll start posting. Thanks!

I was kind of worried about the redesign because even though I like the changes, there wouldn’t be as many tips and resources as there are for the old test. This is really great!
anorris21@yahoo.com says
Thanks. Best of luck!
Sydney says

W says
I know I’ve already written here, but again, THANK YOU SO MUCH. From being a person without any potential to learn history and hating history, now I really enjoy the process of learning APUSH, all thanks to your awesome and amazing videos. Thank you so much for your dedication, you cannot imagine how many people you saved from dying of despair and anxiety of APUSH. APUSH has already become my favorite subject now. Your videos are literally the gateway to open up my interest and comprehension to this subject. Enjoy your day Mr. Norris!
anorris21@yahoo.com says
I LOVE getting comments like this, so feel free to comment everyday. In all seriousness though, thank you. To hear you enjoy learning APUSH is awesome. It can be so incredibly hard, but I believe it can also be one of the most fulfilling things a student can do in high school. Thanks again!

David Jimenez says
Thanks a lot for the vids man, they are really helping a lot. Thanks to them I have been able to maintain an A in the class. I also thought maybe you should add a overall review for that period, in which you highlight the most important parts of the period. Kind of like a whole review. Thanks a lot and please continue what you are doing.
anorris21@yahoo.com says
Congrats on your A. I have a 10 minute video for period 4. I will continue to do those for other time periods, in addition to making a giant one for the end of the year.
Jacob says
I’ve said this many time but once again thank you so much!
A few things-
do you have any specific videos on the following?
-American Indians’ relationship with settlers, miners, and the US Government (specific examples.) Buffalo Soldiers, extermination of the buffalo, Dawes Act, reservation life, Century of Dishonor
-Open Door Policy, Big-Stick Policy, Roosevelt Corollary, dollar diplomacy
Thanks once again 🙂
anorris21@yahoo.com says
Thank you for writing this and for your support. I don’t have a video on every single topic you listed, but here are two that will hit most of them:

Your videos are amazing and are the reason I got a 100 on my APUSH midterm in January!
anorris21@yahoo.com says
You’re the reason you got a 100 because you’re clearly brilliant. However, if my videos helped a little, that’s great to hear. Good luck!

Thank you for watching. I’m sure you would still do great, but I’m happy to help a little. Good luck!
Mary Frances says
please can you try to upload the period 4 reviews in 10 minutes. btw, the person depicted on the poilitcal cartoon in 6.2 is Boss Tweed. Thomas Nast, the artist wanted to exposed his scams and how he bribes people(mostly immigrants) to vote for him. He was later caught and went to jail and he died in jail. We had to do a skit about him in class. It was funny.
anorris21@yahoo.com says
I’m uploading 4 right now.
Isaac Pedavada says
Just wanted to thank you for all your help. I would not be surviving APUSH right now if it weren’t for your videos!!!!!!!!!!

Elizabeth Safstrom says
My students love your reviews. As we prepare for exam, your videos have become our lifeline and hopefully will lead to success next week. My students talk about 3 things: food, fountain pens, and Adam Norris APUSH review videos. They love your humor and have been learning a lot from the videos. As a teacher, I appreciate these videos for the advice and guidance I can use for my students. Plus, it helps when they can hear it from someone else.
p.s. They like you more than John Green…they told me to tell you that
Adam says
This is incredible to hear. Thank you so much, I appreciate it. Best of luck to you and your students!

Is there a reason that some of the links aren’t working. Is it a problem on my end or are others having the same problem?
