Do you think I should memorize the following words?

Question

I am taking AP US History next year, and I was given a summer assignment with a lot of vocabulary terms in it. I have completed the assignment and defined the terms, however, the teacher did not specify whether or not we are to memorize the vocabulary words and their definitions.

Do you think I should memorize the terms while there's still time, or just familiarize myself with them?

Answer 1

i would try to learn some of them but try to narrow it down to the most important ones and the ones you'll use most often but  some of them are quite obvious like african american

Answer 2

You will need to know them sooner or later when it becomes time to take the APUSH exam! So, I would certainly begin now. Hopefully you'll get a quick review in class, but the reason these are usually given as a summer assignment is that you will not have TIME in class to adequately cover it and also get to the rest you'll need! Unfortunately, they're on your exam!
