Just because you don’t have her doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of the practice tests/other resources there.

APUSH

Invader’s Realm APUSH Notes
Useful, but not a subsitute for reading (same with Meridian Notes). Follows Bailey’s The American Pageant.
APUSH on Course Notes
Same as Invader’s Realm, but more comprehensive resources. Includes vocabulary, unit notes, quizzes, timelines, and more.
Official American Pageant Website
HIGHLY recommended. Features thorough quizzes straight from the text writers themselves.

Economics AP

Official Principles of Economics Website
Excellent resource, and free powerpoint lectuers and quizzes too. Macroeconomic materials are in the latter chapters. Some may recall this as the book used in Principles of Business.

Yahoo! Finance
Probably THE best finance site out there.
Historical Prices for Dow Jones Industrial Average Index
Looking for old index values? Search no further. On Yahoo! Finance.

Past Nasdaq index prices. Also on Yahoo! Finance.
Historical Prices for S&P 500 Index
Past S&P 500 prices. Yet again on Yahoo! Finance.

Past 10 year bond prices. Yahoo! Finance is our hero.
