    Omg this is actually close to what I do 😁 Usually I skim the stimulus, underline/box key terms (based on importance), figure out as much as I can from the source (how it may affect the writing, who wrote it, what background, ect.), and then answer the question.

    Heimler!! I ADORE you and your videos. But one thing I want you to talk about is what to do if you like to yap when you write - and end up writing so much you run out of time. How do you keep your writing (specifically SAQs) focused?!

    • @softiepeachies_827
      @softiepeachies_827 20 дней назад +6

      Hai I may not be heimler, but I have gotten full scores on my saq’s! I technically “yap” a lot too in my saqs, but what I do to stay in the time limit is always try to keep what I am saying as relevant as possible to the prompt. Prompts usually ask for one example, like one change, one cause, effect, etc., so you should try to only explain that one example without having to repeat yourself with other ones. Another thing, read all the prompts before you answer, so you can remind yourself what you still need to write, so you don’t accidentally extend your response further than need be.

    • @lana-yt5si
      @lana-yt5si 15 дней назад +2

      write them exactly like this:
      assertion: this is where you just restate the question as a statement. if it’s saying what the change of blank rewrite that with your answer but keep it broad that way u can have more specific evidence fall under that.
      evidence: basically what key term backs up what you are claiming.
      commentary: “this shows” and relate that evidence to how that is able to back up ur assertion.
      using this everytime guarantees full marks and is able to make ur saq 3-4 sentences and very to the point.

    • @pandathegaminglegend5700
      @pandathegaminglegend5700 Месяц назад +1

      check which one makes more sense with the stimulus. remember the answer is a claim and that can be backed up by the stimulus as evidence. more often than not the two options are fully correct, however, one makes more sense with the stimulus than the other (generally that is also the option that isn't as much "common knowledge" than the other).

    • @sasha9465
      @sasha9465 Месяц назад +1

      usually what i do is if im unsure of a question i just skip it and come back to it after i finished the rest of the mcq. usually i have more of a sense of the formula of the questions and it helps me narrow it down to one answer. also it makes you feel better cuz ideally you’ll have a lot more time left over than if u were just stuck ruminating on that one question. since the ap exam involves all units this next part won’t be as useful but if youre taking a specific unit test its helpful to remember that all the questions have to relate SOMEHOW to the unit. like say ur taking a unit 8 apush test and the quote is talking about the invasion of afghanistan and the question asks you about what its more similar to and ur stuck between james k polk/manifest destiny and woodrow wilson/ww1.. ur gonna choose woodrow wilson 😭
