"We are only weeks away from the AP exam"
yes and im only hours away from my DBQ test
Same here I got one too in Ap world history
same
A month ago? I have my APUSH test this Friday
Now is the time for panic
@@awesomemantroll1088 same
It’s too late for me to learn this because my APUSH test is in two days but it will definitely be helpful for college classes next year
Same
Im taking notes from Heimler review and putting them into my own words. Also try building a timeline in your head with key points of time (arrival in America, Enlightenment, American revolution, and so on)
Mine is tomorrow😭😭
@@victori_1227 same like ima def fail but lets hope i get atleast a 3 lmao
@@bradonmeeks9576 bouta wake up tmrw at 4 and cram in 9 APUSH modules lmao
Yesss!! You’re so right!! A week before my AP World exam I took 1 piece of paper and wrote like 1-3 sentences on each key concept (ex: The Silk Road, WW2, etc) making sure some were political, cultural, etc and I truly think that (and of course your videos) is what got me the 5
Thats all you did??
congrats on a 5! that's a really cool achievement
@@kritigoomer oh sorry no I wish that was all I did!!! I also used the Barron’s Flashcards but, I honestly highly recommend just writing your own. And I rewatched Heimler’s videos a TON, taking notes on them, and making sure to study the essay RUBRICS/ how the test was structured. 2 of my friends also bought Heimlers review packet and both got 5’s so that too though I didn’t try it!! Don’t stress if you’re taking the exam though, if you’ve started studying even a little you are BOUND to get a passing score by May!!!!
@@megwilcox5946 thank you omg!!! I wish you luck if you’re taking any AP’s in May!!!!!
@@jaclynolivia9398 man thats helpful! Ive been putting about one hour consistently since 2 weeks now.. sometimes 2 or 3 but i feel i havent made much progress since taking notes on the princeton review book i have takes about an hour to do 4-5 pages.. so thats that and have alos been doing some practices but not muchhhh
This was such an eye opener bc like I’ll spend hours trying to “study” when all I was doing was watching videos reading articles and simply recognizing but never understanding when I write down notes
I definitely felt this way for parts of apush during classroom time. Now that I am studying with my practice book I am taking notes in my own words and really learning. It’s great.
If you've taken AP Psych, this is basically deep vs shallow processing! Research has shown that we recall information better when it is processed on a deeper level - when we think about the meaning, how it links to other concepts, how it relates to ourselves - so go ahead and put in the work!!
Yesss exactly. This year, Psych revolutionized the way I think about studying now. Elaborative rehearsal- studying where you make all these meaningful connections- vs maintenance rehearsal, where you just study a little each night to maintain that stuff you learned during elaborative.
I'm in AP Psych, little nervous but shooting for a 4 or 5 bc I'm majoring in it lol this is only 1 of my 6 ap classes I'm taking (yes I'm taking all 6 ap tests too) ahhh
@@matthewjacob5174 AHHHHHHHH in there with you taking psych apush ap lang calc bc and physics c,,,,,,, sanity crashing harder than the stock market on black tuesday📉📉📉
@@matthewjacob5174 Hey, same! I'm aiming for a 4 or 5, and I'm most likely going to major in psych. 6 APs, that's a lot! I'm only taking 3. Good luck to you.
@@mariakorman2665 you I'm majoring in Psych too niice! I mean I'm aiming for a 4 or 5 for psych, 3 in ap spanish, 5 ap stats, 3 ap English, 5 in ap macroeconomics and 4 or 5 for ap gov but yea good luck to you too bro
THIS IS SO HELPFUL ACTUALLY TY ,, studying is SO difficult for me and now i finally get why
That’s the same feeling I had when I learned this…
The best AP exam tip I ever learned for test day was learning to reframe your thinking. Instead of focusing on the points you may be losing on an exam, like the question you had to guess on or the complexity point, focus on the points that you have the opportunity to earn. This helped me so much in terms of not freaking out. Thank you AP chem teacher!
Am I really procrastinating by watching this instead of starting the units the day before my exam I gotta lock in
If you're watching this video later in April without time to do this do not be alarmed. I've taken 23 AP tests, some of which were self-studied the night before-yes I passed with 4 or better. Practice, review, Practice. On time constraints practice with enough tests (at least 2-3, but hopefully more) so you've thoroughly covered the majority of topics and now understand how to take this specific test. Note that during revision it can be brief, but if you're taking 5+ tests, do more than brief. Good luck!!
i’m curious, how did u take 23 ap tests?! that sounds insane
@@neepybeep most likely practice tests along with actual ones
Where do you find practice tests?
12 hours until the APUSH exam. I feel very good about it in no small part to you. Thank you for carrying all of our grades on your back.
I take a lot of notes, A LOT OF NOTES, APUSH is the class that has made me take the most notes. At the beginning of the year we didn't have books so I opened up a notebook and started writing. I've gone through 3 notebooks and a bunch of reading packets that I read through and highlighted. Only now am I picking up on the fact that the stuff covered in said packets is the stuff I've had the most problems with. I've done amazing in the class and soared above all the standards people told me to expect and I credit it all to me writing notes.
Umm I think I got to this too late...
I love how you can maintain both a very helpful tip for viewers, but you also include tons of hilarious moments! Makes viewing and understanding what you have to say so much more easier! Thanks Heimler!
You are literally a legend. Thank you for this!!
thank you soooo much! I used this strategy before doing a LEQ and a DBQ and I feel like I learned all the material!
I would be so for the video on different note-taking strategies and how to utilize AP prep textbooks!
Thank you so much, Mr. Heimler! This is very helpful for me. My APUSH Exam is tomorrow, but I plan on utilizing this method for my other AP Exams and for college classes.
This is mindblowing to me, i just finished unit 1 of the ap world ultimate review packet and used your fill in notes as a way for me to write things in my own words, I took direct notes of the unit review video, and recalled everything onto those notes. Now I feel like an expert on unit 1.
I always make mindmaps for the different periods, dividing it into core topics such as women or native Americans and that helps!!
love this thank you so much!
This is great, thank you!
This is genuinely one of the most useful videos I think I've seen from you!! This is not to say the others aren't helpful - because they are - but this fundamental strategy makes your other videos and all other study materials 10x more effective.
Thank you :3
I LOVE U HEIMLER. I have been struggling with APUSH all year long and I’ve been changing my studying ways so many times that I didn’t even know what to do anymore. I used the way u said study for my test yesterday, and I got an A on my test. Thank you
That's sort of what I tend to do for my notes/studying. I go down by each vocab term/heading and try and remember key points or facts about it. This causes me to really dig deep in those brain grooves and bring out information that I know is in there.
I'll even go on a wider scale and just think "Great Depression". Then I'll say out-loud or write down the events around it, what caused it, and what resulted from it. It's a great well-rounded way of studying and Heimler says just that. I hate having to study but the feeling of being prepared and knowing what you're talking about makes it so much easier. DON'T BE LAZY AND NOT STUDY!! Make the year long course worthwhile and study for your exam! Get those potential college credits and make it be worth it 💪💪
heimler slaying as always
This is really helpful! Thank you so much!
Glad to hear it! You’re welcome…
This is very Helpful
Ughhhhh my Spring Break starts April 8th - and I'm starting to feel the pressure of AP exams as I get killed by tests and projects in my classes - absolutely horrible.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thanks hemler I have this exam on Friday :333
Exactly what I was wondering.
That’s why whenever I watch your videos I pause after every major point to write it in my words
I’m in 8th grade and somehow this helped me throughout the year so much. I was able to exempt my final and pass with a 101% thanks so much man, you know your stuff.
WOOO heimler out here not just teaching folks but teaching them how to learn!!
Heck yes 🙌🏻
As a really old AP World History teacher all I can say is Mr. Heimler is exactly right! Put in the work!
i really couldve used this last night, had an apush test today
my test is in 7 1/2 hours so i think i might be a bit late here but i'll keep this in mind if i ever do another ap test so thanks
I don’t know if any research backs up memorization through the use of a memory palace, but this has been a really useful too for me whenever I need to cram facts and information and seems to help me out on multiple choice sections. While this is just wrought memorization I have found that it helps me understand the information better because I try to associate images and thoughts with the information and through that I begin to understand it much better. Again I’m not saying this works for everyone but it certainly seems to help me out and I would recommend anyone who is looking to memorize something effectively try this method just in case.
can you elaborate on how to do it?
@@oliviaclaire5281 For sure, there are definitely some videos out there that could probably say it better than me but I’ll give the basic run down. Essentially the whole idea is to pick a place that you know well like room in your house or if you want you could simply use your whole house, as of now I only have one room set up and that can usually help me divide a textbook chapter up and memorize it pretty well with less than fifty items (which I will explain about now). Okay so now that you have a location picked you’re going to want to imagine yourself going throughout that room and interacting with different objects and for each object you will assign a piece of information. For example my memory palace starts in my basement and starts off with me looking at a note on the front door, then I take of a trench coat and a hat and take a look at my calendar. So for each different action and object you can assign how ever much information you feel associating with that item. I would suggest you make a list of your items you have in your memory palace so that it sticks with you is much easier to recall. Once you have a comprehensive idea of all the items you want to use in your memory palace you will mentally walk around to each object and interact with it in some way to stimulate the pice of information that you have associated with it. So maybe for example you want to remember something like Wilson’s 14 points, you could have 14 different items but personally I would just use one that could be broken into 14 smaller parts so it can take of less of the rooms so maybe in my imagination I would drop a hand full of colored gem stones, each one with a point inscribed on the back. One of the main ideas of a memory palace is to associate your info with extremely weird objects or actions because those are much more likely to stick with you than anything else. My memory palace has the frozen head of Walt Disney and a Godzilla a puppet in a safe so don’t be a afraid to really go wild with how you associate, it’s your mind palace after all. So yeah I hope that gives you a basic run down sorry it’s kinda long and drawn out and I’m sure other videos will probably say it better but yeah, that’s how I would go about explaining it. Even if it seems a bit weird there’s no real hurt in trying it who knows maybe it will work for you and end up being one of your favorite memorization tools, I know I slept on this technique for around 2 ish years before I actually started implementing it and darn I wish I started sooner.
Thanks! I'm a grown man and was always bad at school. I'm gonna give this a go. Wish me luck!
Good luck!
How would you recommend us to write notes, should we separate from topics and units and focus on the causation and change? And also what websites do you recommend to take notes off of?
Hello. Hope you’re doing well! How can I prepare myself to quickly remember topics for evidence towards my APUSH LEQ?
when ur apwh exam is tmr and you don't know a single thing you've learned this year.
o7
did ya atleast get a 3?
maybe some educated guessing and bullshittery?
Oooh my god !! 🤯 !!… Thank you sure. 🙏 With this information I will become one of the greatest GMs.
can you maybe do an example video? sometimes i find it hard to be concise
Thomas frank had a great video highlighting a study method where you pretend you are teaching the material in front of a camera and reviewing what you can teach to a camera to test how much you can effectively recall
I’m totally on board with that
Thank
you are a lifesaver
Wonderful, thank you. I am sharing this with my AP Euro students tomorrow
Awesome! And tell them I have some unit reviews for Euro coming next week
So is there a way you recommend doing this in like a specific example. Like, for example, going into the CED, looking at one of your videos or a study guide and then trying to find the answer in there and use that answer to answer it into your own words. Or do you just recommend seeing how much you know about what the objective is asking and then just putting that down on the paper (without looking at a study guide or video)
literally watching this an hour before my ap euro exam 🗿
are you going to do livestreams like you did last year?
Do you think that going over flashcards help with this type of study, or may actually hinder it? Also, if you think that they wouldn't help do you think that if the study cards had the exact questions that are on the studied for exam, that they would actually help?
Why come on just why did I just get introduced to this principle of learning?! I wish more people knew this
me watching this hours beforehand
Pro tip:
DO NOT study late at night. You won’t remember a thing. Study days before and early.
That’s not true at all, we often remember things best when we absorb them right before sleep.
@@blarbkanopcious4243 yeah so studying at 12 am will help you remember? Okay bud
unless if *you forcefully cram* and you *don't* look at the notes you took when you've made them at that time, then yes. I had 3 tests and I studied between 10pm-12am and I passed all three tests and I wasn't cramming too much.
@@blarbkanopcious4243 while that is true I specifically stated late at night. This is because since you’re so tired, your brain can’t process it.
@@afrac3302 I’m talking about late at night, like 12-2. I never said anything about 10-12.
exactly 8 hours and 45 minutes until ap gov test lmao
me watching this LITERALLY a month later
I wrote all my notes in a two column format of a concept on one side and a description on the other side. I wrote them all in my own words to make them concise and take up less space but I don't remember a lot of the concepts. I typed these. Would it have been better to have hand-written them?
me watching this the night before the exam 🤡
how’d it go?
I have a question. I have an leq to do. And im studying for it. But i have trouble remembering things for evidence. My mind goes blsnk is there a way to not have tjsr happen? Also another question for complexity, if i dont do that can I just add a third claim or something else?
Question, you think typing notes/topics in my own words on a doc would work? I don't think I have enough paper or pencils to write everything down lol.
Yeah that should be good. The research says that hand writing helps you remember better, but the most important thing is to translate it into your own words, whether you write or type.
when is the ap euro ultimate review packet coming out?
I’m working hard to get it out on Monday… soon and very soon!
I just started studying for the test so I have a lot to cover
Is it fine if I go over my notes then just write the main points of each time period/society(I’m in AP world)
Bro just narrated exactly how I'm feeling
we finished covering the materials :D
test is less than two weeks away ;-;
Ive done like 85% of my ap world notes by writing them and the rest I have typed on google docs. Would you say that there is an advantage of writing notes than typing them?
i do both, writing is definitely more time intensive, but you get to really think about what you're writing down. typing on the other hand lets you get alot more information down in a faster time period. it really depends on what your needs are, but i personally think a bit of each is the sweet spot. type down general info, write down your main ideas
I'm a freshman in need of help. I need help on historical context and contextualization that's my weak point.
Will typing it on a computer do the same?
POV ur test is in 2 days and you watch this now
LOL
How do you think we should start reviewing for AP History tests (APUSH in my case)? I feel like I know I should start studying but am struggling to figure out where or how to start.
First thing: find out what you remember and what you don’t. A practice test (just the multiple choice) can help with that. Then you’ll know what you need to focus on and what you can spend less time on. Then get the content you need either with my videos or a review book or my Ultimate Review Packet. Write out the major concepts in your own words. That should get you pretty far down the road. Good luck!
i already do this because i enjoy making connections and writing them down and i still dont remember anything, sometimes it only takes a day and i have to relearn everything i studied yesterday because i genuinely dont even know what the topic is anymore and it makes my study sessions literally double in volume because now what was supposed to be a short review of what i did yesterday is 4+ hours of relearning everything and it just makes me not want to study at all i feel like im wasting so much time only to get Fs in class
this exact scenario happened today:
me: can you help me remember things in history
mom: okay, what chapter are you studying right now
me: unit 3
mom: what is it about?
me: ...
mom: whats it about?
me: i dont know
mom: WHAT IS IT ABOUT????
me: i dont know
mom: you have been studying right??
me: yes i just watched a video, took notes on that video, and wrote an essay on the topic yesterday but i dont remember what it was
mom: i cant help you just accept that you'll fail
Does typing matter
I wrote ALL THE TIME for my AP Psych class, whether that was by completing the reading guides, turning the textbook headings into questions and answering them, or making flashcards. And I had to finish my homework, so I shortened or paraphrased definitions often. I also used memory tricks, images, and stuff that I already knew to help me.
Did a ton of work and got a 5.
It’s trickier with APUSH because my teacher just gave us lectures with slideshows. It wasn’t too easy to isolate the main ideas of a lesson, and I definitely didn’t have time to write. What really helped me was the physical copies of the notes that he’d make.
AHHHHH!!
Ok dumb question but where do i find/ how do I know the key concepts of the course?
You can look up RUclips vids and stuff on how to do the individual assignments and tests
Count you link or list in the description the sources that prove one cannot think without writing? It seems like an extreme claim when taken at face value so I’d like to see the specifics.
I got those ideas from How to Take Smart Notes by Sonke Ahrens. It’s packed with research so you can follow his footnotes to see the actual studies.
Let’s get Heimler the Best Teacher of the Year Award because of the amazing quote said at 2:10! :)
Is 8 days enough to study? I am incredibly stressed and at this point I just want a 3. I have an A in AP world but I suck at dbqs + saqs and I have only typed some notes for period 1. I would really appreciate if anyone could give some advice on what I could do to use my time efficiently!!!
ayo bro im in the same boots as you, we got this and we will pass
id say definitely write things down, im going through each century 13th - 20th and writing down important factors then going a little deeper in those factors
Could someone send me a link to something in this “mountain of research”
Is typing ok? Or only write on paper....
casual heimler W
Im screwed
just try your best, that’s what i’m gonna do
Hello, what should I do if my teacher doesn't finish all topics? We are taking a test next week Monday for chapter 6 and we have nine chapters in total
I’ve got a video on that. I think it’s called What If We Don’t Finish the Curriculum? Check that out…
@@heimlershistory Okay thank you!
I might be needing that, we'll be finished learning the curriculum literally a week before the exam 😰
in the video you show an ap euro ultimate review packet but there's no link to it in the description, is there any way for me to access it?
It’ll be out Monday… good eye!
@@heimlershistory awesome!!! i love your review practice!
I think my ADHD brain could come in clutch here, I connect things back to back all the time 😅
2:15 Which is why part of my studying process is rambling to my parents until they regret signing me up for AP World in the first place 😁
same 💀💀
does typing work? Im Dyslexic and dysgraphic. If I write by hand I can't read it back later.
Yep. The research indicates that handwriting improves recall, but it sounds like in your case typing is the way to go. The most important part is to make sure the ideas are in your own words…
im cooked my ap is in 2 days
I'm glad you didn't say anything different from what I've been doing for the past few months xD
Would it work if I use quizlet, to see the concepts, but write out the contents of that concept? Or does it all have to be from memory?
Yeah that would be good for review. Just make sure you’re writing the explanations yourself. That’s the hard part 😉
Are u ever planning on doing Ap Euro? I’m already taking it and Apush and I haven’t found anyone super helpful for consolidating what I learn in class for Ap Euro. I’m mainly asking for people in the future since it would be very helpful for them
He announced yesterday that they're dropping next week 🤘
