I am taking AP US history, and taking notes on Brinkley's AP textbook. How should I structure my notes?

Cornell notes really helped me to review vocab at the end of the year. Depending on how your teacher structures it, try that or try making headings into questions and answering them with info from the textbook.

I took APUSH last year, and I would recommend making a single-page notes sheet with boxes for important dates, vocabulary, documents/laws passed during the time period, and a general summary of the time period. Important people are also super helpful for the exam!

Hey! I'm a senior taking AP Bio, and my teacher showed me a helpful video on 3 different types of note takings. I'll attach it below, its very helpful and easy to understand!
