Strategies for U.S. History Test Preparation

This book provides material with capsuled information on about one hundred major events in U.S. history, divided into seven units. The events are presented fairly chronologically. Sample multiple choice questions measure student understanding of the information in each unit. The answers to the questions are at the end of each unit.

You may choose to pull some of those questions together to use as a pretest to determine students' understanding of U.S. history. You can also use the questions to develop a posttest for use after working through these materials or as a preview of the ITBS or NAEP tests.
