'''Tip Number Five''':  Try different approaches to a difficult question until you figure out the right answer.  There are many ways to find the correct answer for a question.  For example, think of the event in the question in the context of other events.  Use all the information that is given you.  There will always be a few questions that you can answer without knowing anything about U.S. History, if you are clever and use common sense.

'''Tip Number Six''':  On College Board exams, expect bias.  The bias is greatest in the selection and presentation of the questions.  For example, there will likely be more questions about [[liberal]] artists and writers than about [[George Washington]] or [[Christopher Columbus]].  Rarely does bias affect the answer choice itself, but having a sensitivity for the political views of the test-writer can be helpful in considering answer choices.  For example, a College Board question will never have as a correct answer that men have some skills that are better than women's, but will often have as a correct answer that men have been prejudiced against women.
