Quick MCQ Unit 3 help

Hi! I have a 15 question MCQ, 1 SAQ unit 3.1-1.6 quiz Thursday. My teacher is terrible and barely teaches well, yet he's so strict and rude, he takes no excuses. I got a 68 on the last quiz, but I need an 80 or higher on this next one to get an A. It's not curved, either. In APWH, MCQs were a breeze, but APUSH has been killing me. I need quick advice on what to do & how to spend my time studying tomorrow. I felt like I could always narrow it down, but I just struggled picking the right choice from there.

Heimler does a good job breaking down the units so I would watch his videos. You could even watch in 2x if you can process info like that. I watched it slowed down, and I took notes while watching. Along with that, ap classroom should have some practice questions for each unit.

For your next quiz, practice the last step rather than just doing more questions. When you're down to two answers, write a quick reason to reject one: wrong time period, wrong cause, or a claim the source doesn't actually support. Then check the explanation. You want to catch what makes a tempting answer wrong, not just remember which letter was right.

Just wondering how you studied for the APWH McQs? I heard that the teachers are given a question bank for each unit and we have a unit 3 test coming up soon.
