Brainiest to best answer for those who took ap us history! for ap us history notes in preparation for the ap exam, i'm taking notes from a book. in american pageant, the "makers of america" section, how important is it to take notes on this? i focus my notes to be detailed on everything but this part because i feel like it is a historical connection or interesting fact-thing and i'm not sure if leaving that out to focus on everything else would majorly damage my studies or not effect it at all.
