Hello Mr. Freeman, I just wanted to say thank you. The exam is tomorrow and I've been watching the 80 day review from the beginning, participated in your livestreams, and have been following along as best I can. I'm very grateful to you and the effort you take to help us so thanks a whole lot and let's hope we get good scores!
Love this video...but I'm a really slow-paced test-taker so I'd probably have to discard half the tips said here or I'd be completely screwed on timing 😭😭
Hi, really like the videos and content. But how do you write the historical context to fit in your essay for the complexity point? How do you write it?
Can you write an example dbq or analyze an example dbq and explain how it earns the points? I know you just gave a step by step guide but I'm still slightly confused on how I would go about analysis and proving why the evidence connects to a thesis.
Will a DBQ ever be a comparison. Such as; CCOT, Cause and Effect. Because if so, shouldn’t you have two thesis? Railroads were caused by this, they had this effect
IF YOU LOOK AT THE RECENT ONES (POST REDESIGN IN 2019). THEY HAVEN’T BEEN COMPARISON OR CCOT. ITS POSSIBLE? BUT YOU ONLY MEED ONE ACCEPTABLE THESIS. NO NEED FOR TWO. FEEL FREE TO ADD AS MANY POINTS OR SENTENCES OR IDEAS INTO YOUR THESIS. IT CAN BE SEVERAL SENTENCES.
i really wish the exams were online this year. as of now i think i might get a 3 because i’m a slow writer and my hand craps out easily, but if it was online this year, i think i could easily get a 5.
Hey yall, I have been using document evidence by the means of quotes from the actual documents & explaining how those support my thesis. And my teacher that was fine to do, but Freeman-pedia said something about not using quotes...? Idk a bit confused and worried....
Never quote! Always describe the document, but the grader already knows the documents. Don’t quote. It won’t give you arguing with evidence point. Describe, argue it, source it, and state why the the purpose or whatever you chose is significant.
NAH. ITS THE ONLY LOCATION RULES ON THE DBQ. IT HAS TO BE AT THE BEGINNING OR END. PUT IT IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH. ANNNNNND MAKE IT THE FINAL SENTENCE/MIC DROP MOMENT WALKING OUT THE DOOR.
Do you really not get docked points for doing more than required and getting some of the excess wrong? I know other test are strict on that, Im surprised this isnt
YEAH. IT DEPENDS. THIS IS THE LAST YEAR OF PAPER PENCIL OPTION. BUT MY VIDEO NEEDED TO BE EVERGREEN. SO. I JUST WENT AHEAD AND SAID DIGITAL SINCE THATS WHAT IT WILL BE IN THE FUTURE.

Rookie mistake Mr "Freeman" if I can even refer to you as that. At 18:36 you make a crucial typo in your "helpful" QBQ Video. I am here to learn about DBQ's not QBQ's what you call them. Look back on your mistakes nextime Ben. This is your last warning. Jk :)
I know I'm not FREEMAN, but I was always told to NEVER quote the documents. You always want to restate what it says in your own words rather than quoting
I know there’s some people watching this right now. Good luck!!!!

So terrified for the DBQ. Thank god there are videos like this!!!
ITS A PUZZLE. YOU JUST GOTTA PIECE IT TOGETHER. IN ONE HOUR.
Hardest Freemanpedia intro since the Heimler collab
When was that??
This was extremely helpful, thanks a lot!
Are you making one for LEQ?
This video is super high quality man keep it up
THANKS CRUZ
MR FREEMAN YOU SAID SHIPPING CONTAINERS WOULD BE IMPORTANT AND I REMEBERED THAT FOR MY LEQ 🥳
12 minutes before the test! Wish me luck!
good luck !

This was great! Please do it for the LEQ too!
The video was soooo helpful I suck at history can u please make a vid on LEQ pleaseee
I’m not even in AP World and I’m watching this for some reason.
lmaooo
Good to see the late stage DBQ looks!
This was very helpful, I've watched all of Heimler's videos but still struggles with DBQS....
Will you also be doing one for SAQs as well?
OOOOOOH. YES. BUT IT WILL BE AFTER THE EXAM. FOR NEXT YEAR. SORRY. TIME IS TIGHT.
WE'LL COOK 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi, really like the videos and content. But how do you write the historical context to fit in your essay for the complexity point? How do you write it?
FREEMAN THE GOAT
im cooked
IM COOKED
Can you post a video about the 10 most important topics or changes that we need to know to be successful
Can you write an example dbq or analyze an example dbq and explain how it earns the points? I know you just gave a step by step guide but I'm still slightly confused on how I would go about analysis and proving why the evidence connects to a thesis.
this!!!
I DO THIS IN THE ULTIMATE REVIEW PACKET.
WE GETTING A 6 WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥
For evidence beyond the documents, do you only have to do it once for the point?
Yep maybe through it in a couple times just in case if you want to be safe but if you pull it off once and it works thats all you need
@@aarishhi7306Thank you
Hello, should I be quoting the docs or not? I was seemingly deterred by what you had said about the “quoting documents” part. Much appreciated!

How does sourcing differ from describing the document in the essay, can’t they technically both be done at the same time
I'm only replying so I get notified if someone responds
Would have been nice earlier today when I had my dbq 💀🙏
It was on the computer??

wouldnt you wanan source your documents ebfore you connect to how it supports your thesis?
THANK U
im literally less then an hour away from taking my exam😬
Would you write your thesis at the end by itself or is anything else needed to be added?

we haven't done a single dbq in class. am i cooked?
you just might be😭
you are cooked.
I suggest you do a practice dbq. The Princeton review books have full mock exam and I suggest you do them to see how you are doing
@@leuel i’m doing fine with the mcqs. usually ~65%. but i have no one to grade my frqs😭
When we're taking the actual exam, do we know how much time we have left?
I don’t believe they tell you but maybe I’m wrong
Hold up, is our exam digital? My teacher said ours would be on paper but the guy in the video said it would be online.
i think it depends on your school

But we only need to use a minimum of 4 documents, right? Not all 7
Yes at least 4 documents, but if you use all 7 documents you can get the complexity point of course if you use all 7 with HIPP or HAPPY
@@squiddynugget2548wait what do those (HIPP & HAPPY) stand for again?
@@leuelH-Historical Context- What’s going on
I- Intended Audience- Who is this for?
P-Purpose - Why was this document written?
P- Point of View- Take into account the perspective of the author
@@leuel exactly what the other comment said and happy just means H: historical context, A: audience, P: purpose, P: POV, and Y: why?

is the total AP exam going to go to my overall grade for the year?
nope
Is it required to use a historical skill?
NOT IN THE DBQ. BUT IT IS IN THE LEQ. THE PROMPT WILL KINDA GUIDE YOU TO ONE ANYWAY… BUT ITS NOT IN THE RUBRIC.
