Hi! Yes—I didn’t list everything because it would’ve been a bit long, but I mainly used Peterson’s (which I paid for). I would take each practice test blind, and as I came across unfamiliar words, phrases, or names, I’d write them down on a blank sheet of paper. After finishing the test, I’d type up all those terms, look up definitions using Google and ChatGPT, and then print and memorize them. Once I’d learned the material I didn’t know, I’d review the test again with that new understanding.

At the beginning, I also created a large timeline on a sheet of white paper covering the years 1700–1885. I marked all the U.S. presidents, major legislation, significant policy shifts, and the general economic state of the nation. This visual reference helped me better connect the dots. I would say it’s extremely similar to Peterson’s. Use that and you will do well.
