Adam,
This is awesome. Thank you for all that you do for ALL OF OUR students!!!
Mrs. Maria Lantz
North High School
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it. Best of luck to you and your students!
YOU ARE THE BEST ADAM NORRIS
GOT SAT’s Saturday MAY 5 and APUSH AP test next Friday and AP CALC test on Tuesday 15th. GOD HELP ME
Refer to the Second Great Awakening for help 🙂
Just a suggestion but maybe you should go backwards on this series because most people have already studied periods 1-6 so it would be more beneficial to have 8 and 9 up now while students are still testing on them. Again just a suggestion.. Thanks!
Hello,
Thank you so much for all that you do. Will there be future 10 minute review videos for the Periods 4-7
Again thank you so much for this website! You really saved my grade!
Yes, I’m uploading 4 today and all the rest will be coming soon.
Day one asking for Mr Mayer to have a shoutout.
Hi!!
Could you please add the rest of the period reviews in 10 minutes videos? Those are a life saver when studying for tests!
Thanks !
Period 4 will be up today, more to come soon. Thanks for watching.
Would you recommend using the Key Concept reviews as well, or just the 10min videos? Do they cover the same things?
What I would do is use the 10 minute reviews AFTER watching the key concept videos. Those videos are much more detailed than the 10 minute ones. Good luck!
your 10 minute reviews are awesome!!!! Thanks so much!!! I noticed the link for the fill in the blank notes for period 4 are missing- can you help??? thanks
Just uploaded it. Thanks for your support.
Hey! Awesome Videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just want to know when will the rest of the 10 minute videos will be up.
Thanks for EVERYTHING, and EVERY WORD!!
They are all now up. Good luck!
Your videos are amazing and have helped me throughout the year! My AP exam is this coming friday so I’m doing my final review this week and was going through your 10 min period videos that are really helpful! Do you think you’ll have periods 8 and 9 up soon?? THANKS!
They will be up today!
Love your videos! Will you have period 8 and 9 uploaded soon?
I am battling laryngitis right now, but I hope to in the next day or so.
These videos are amazing!! Very easy to understand and well-paced. They always help me with the synthesis portion of the LEQ and DBQ. THANK YOU SO MUCH, you are an incredible human being. I feel so much less stress now that i’ve watched almost all of your videos. 🙂 have a wonderful day
Thanks very much for all of the excellent videos. My students love your videos and have been watching them to review for the APUSH exam! Thanks again!
Thank you very much for these video’s. They really came in handy for the AP review this week in anticipation of the May 8 exam.
All of Mr. Johanson’s APUSH class at Branham High loves your videos. Thank you so much for helping us pass and excel!!! Your videos always come in handy when we need them, and they are (surprisingly) interesting and easy to understand. 🙂
Hey Mr. Norris, I just want to thank you for all the efforts you put into this. I belong to a program where my APUSH class only meets twice a week, so most of our learning has to come from self-studying. I was feeling wary about this year’s test, especially since I had to focus on AP Calculus at the same time, but I now feel very confident about the test on Friday. 🙂
Thank you for this message. Best of luck on Friday, I’m sure you’ll do great.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!! That is a thank you for all 9 periods of APUSH! You’ve helped me so much this year. I was failing the first half of the year because my teacher couldn’t teach and wouldn’t help me (I’m a honor roll student who takes all level 1 classes and gets A’s, so I started freaking out when I was failing most of my tests in the class). So like any other smart person would do, I looked up APUSH review sites online and found yours. I watched all of your videos and ended up going from failing to getting a C in the class! I cannot thank you enough because this is my junior year and a F on my transcript would not look good. I’m feeling really good about the exam on Friday!! 🙂
Thank you so much for these videos: they’re extremely helpful and a great way to review all of this information! I really appreciate all of your tips and above all your positivity….this test is really daunting but your encouragement definitely makes me feel better!
Great videos, for cramming on the final night! Good luck to everyone taking the exam tomorrow!
Great Videos! These will save my test score!
Mr. McDonald a.k.a. MacDeezy is an awesome teacher!
Hey from cheektowaga NY! I just wanted to thank you for uploading these videos. They have been an immense help throughout the school year, and i have no clue where i would be without them! Thanks again!
These videos helped a ton, a feel quite a bit more confident about the exam tomorrow! 😛 Thanks!
These are so helpful. One of the teachers at school has been doing after school review sessions using all sorts of your videos, but I haven’t been able to make it to them. I’ve been watching the heck out of your videos though. They are really helpful. I feel more confident. Do you have any last minute tips for the exam tomorrow?
Hi Mr. Norris!
I just wanted to tell you how immensely grateful I am for all of your 10 minute review videos and key concept videos. Short background I basically failed every one of my APUSH tests this semester and as this week grew closer my heart was filled with dread because I knew I would do poorly on the exam. Your videos aren’t a new tool for me, my teacher often paired your videos with her teaching so I knew this should be one of the first places I went to study (along with my review books) Now, thanks to your work, I’m actually pretty confident in my abilities to pass the APUSH exam and I can’t believe how much I’ve been able to learn and retain this past week. If it hadn’t been for these videos I don’t know where I would be right now and I feel forever in your debt for all that you do for not just your class, but for classes like mine around the country! Again, thank you so so so much 🙂
The time has come and within the next 12 hours, students nationwide will be commencing the APUSH exam with loads of confidence and inner peace because of your site, Mr. Norris. I just want to take the time to thank you greatly for everything you have done to make this happen. Nowadays, students grow up in an education system surrounded by teachers who are only there to do a job and to get advances in pay depending on how well their students do. However, stumbling upon your site contradicts that and I can tell how passionate you are about this subject and teaching students who otherwise would have had to teach themselves. You’re genuine care and effort to help students is moving and I want you to know you are not going unappreciated. Thanks again for all you do. Without you, I don’t know where I’d be.
Hi Mr. Norris,
I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for me this school year of APUSH. Your videos have literally served as a second class that have helped me so much throughout my tests and quizzes. Thank you for preparing me for the AP test tomorrow! I am so grateful for everything!
I just took the APUSH exam and your videos were a huge help!! Thanks so much for putting so much time and effort into them.
Mr.Norris I wish I could thank you personally, I really do appreciate your work so much. You helped me out so much on my quizzes, and class in general. Keep on being rad
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
you made a great contribution to high school students. well, i’m a chinese, and i was looking for a website like this! A small suggestion, you speak too fast to non-english international students. And where can i get more new APUSH practices, sepecially the multiple-choice questions?
I love you. You are the reason I got a 5 on my exam last year. <3
Thanks for the kind words, but YOU are the reason you got a 5. Congrats!
The video for period 4 says that Missouri was added to the Union as a free state and Maine was added as slave state, which is not true, it was the other way around. (See minute 12:40)
Thank you so much for all that you do, this will help me tremendously for my practice exam tomorrow! You truly are a great teacher.
Thank you, I hope you did will!
You are the only thing holding up my APUSH grade right now on every test that I took, all of the knowledge in these PowerPoints were on it. Thank You!!
Thanks for all that you do man! Honestly, you help keep our whole class in check, and our teacher uses your stuff on a regular basis! Love your dedication to helping students like myself do well in APUSH!
These videos have helped me feel so much more prepared! Thank you very much for posting them!
Just wanted to say: thank you so much for these amazing videos! They are short yet specific at the same time, indeed very helpful!
Mr. Adam Norris, I watched all of your videos in the month prior to my APUSH exam, and I got a 5 on it!!! Thank you for all the help this year!!! I’ll be sticking around for AP Gov for sure!
My APUSH teacher pointed us to this and gave us fill-in-the-blank guides and said to annotate as well. It’s getting stuck in my head easier now that I’ve heard it aloud. It’s easier to learn with the videos. Shout out to Evergreen High’s Mr. Doyle! (from WA)

Thank you so much!!
Just pointing out a typo you missed in the Period 7 video; at 11:09 you says “quick review for period 8” instead of period 7.
🙂
(Great videos btw)
thanks very much this has been very helpful
Please shout out Mr. Rhodes
He is the best. he would be so happy
thanks that helped a lot
Mr Rhodes told us to check this out
he is the best thanks rhodes
May the Fourth be with you
thank you so much for doing these videos I was freaking out about the test but after watching these again I feel much more relaxed about the the final test on Friday.
Thank you so much. You truly saved me and did an amazing job of summarizing all of the information I need to know for this test. I felt like a massive weight was lifted off of my shoulders after watching these videos and I feel like I have a much better grasp of the content. The world needs more educators like you, thank you.
you are magic
I love these videos so much! Thank you for all you do you make APUSH less overwhelming and your reviews are comprehensive and great. Keep doing what you do!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Hi Adam, thank you for all your videos! They helped me get an A in APUSH and get a 5 on the AP U.S. History Exam. I’m now using them to help me study for the U.S. History SAT subject test!
Congrats on your 5 and best of luck on the subject test. Thanks for the support.
Loved your videos, thank you so much!
Thanks for the videos man but I’m really gonna fail the AP test. I have an A, but I barely do any of the work, and when there’s work to turn in I usually do it quickly and poorly or copy someone else’s work to get that easy completion grade. When test corrections roll around after a test I always use Google to look up the correct answer so I get a good grade. We’ve done very little essay work and the essays I’ve written I’ve always had to look stuff up beforehand. I hardly remember anything from previous periods we’ve learned in the past. Looking for life advice, thanks.
Adam Norris,
I would like to thank you. Your videos are the perfect concisity for my last-minute binge watch study before the test (May 10th 2019 is test day for me). I greatly appreciate the work.
please shou to Mr.Swanson class
These were so helpful! My APUSH exam is tomorrow and I’m feeling pretty good about it now! Thanks for all you do!
All set now. Thanks for letting me know.
This is awesome! Do you have the period 7 fill in the blank notes as well? I do not see the link for the PowerPoint or the fill in the blanks
The link for ppt 7 is missing
Can you post the Period 7 Ten Minute Video Guide? I do not see the link.
Thank you – your resources are great!
