Edit: Got a 5! :) Thank you so much for posting this! My exam is tomorrow and unfortunately, I haven’t been reviewing at all in the past school year. I’ve been cramming as much as I could in the last couple of days, and you’ve been a huge help! I’ll update with my score when I get it, haha.
@@haleylokus3380 honestly, I don’t think I’m the best person to ask for advice because the way I studied was not at all a good way. The week before the test, I started studying. I read my textbook for the first time and got through the entire thing in 3 days. I woke up early to read it and went to bed late to read it. I skimmed the sections I knew well and read more thoroughly in the sections that I was less familiar with. While I was reading, I also called a friend and we reviewed key concepts together. We’d note a handful of important people and events from each chapter. You don’t need to know everything, just the main core ideas and events to back it up for your LEQ. The night before the test, I was done with the textbook. I stayed up until about 1 am watching review videos on every unit on RU-vid. When I woke up the next morning, since classes were all on zoom, I didn’t pay attention to any of them. I spent the time skimming through the textbook instead. It is definitely doable to score a 5 doing what I did, but I have a good short-term memory so I could read it once and remember it without having to spend too much time going back over it again. If you can’t do that, then plan out when you’ll start accordingly. If you need to read it twice for it to stick, for example, allot some time for that. I would also say that while this works, you shouldn’t do it because it was incredibly stressful and I barely got any sleep. It also probably only worked because I’m a strong essay writer. I regularly scored 6s on my LEQs and classes and 6-7s on my DBQs. That’s why I figured if I couldn’t answer some of the MCQ or SAQ questions due to not knowing the content, my essay scores could carry me. My advice to you would be to start reviewing earlier than I did and to improve your writing if you’re bad at it. Even if you don’t know all the content, if you can get points in the areas that you can control (ie context/thesis/ the part where you talk about historical context, audience, purpose, etc.) then that can give you a buffer in the areas where you just don’t know.
Broo, the knock at 0:40 had me confused for so long. I thought somebody was knocking at my door ToT. Great videos though, they are amazing and are definitely helping me. Thank you very much for these videos!
Thanks to you I think I just got a 5. I just want to say that I really appreciate the series you did. A small video for you just made it easier for me to place out of college classes and eliminate thousands of $ of debt.
I’m writing this comment to say thank you. I started watching your Euro videos since the beginning of the school year and would watch them before every test. I always did pretty well on the in-class tests thanks to you, but preparing for the AP Exam was a whole different story. The exam was really hard in my opinion and my writing wasn’t the best but I still got a 5! Thank you so much Mr. Richey!
Literally thank you so much for making these videos simple and understandable... there is so much content in this course and the textbooks go into such detail which, don’t get me wrong, is really interesting, but it is easy to get lost in the details and your videos just really synthesize the information into a way that ties everything I’ve learned this year together quite nicely! Keep it up!
Furthermore, when I clicked on this video I was deciding between this review video and “what does a chop stick piano sound like”, and despite my enormous curiosity about the latter, my better judgement made me choose this, and honestly, I would say I made a good choice from a responsibility perspective, as well as a perspective of being entertained, this video is just terrific.
I was doing some last-minute studying before today's exam and the knocking noise made me think someone was in my room, then I realized I was on the second floor...
6:52 and the sad thing about the ethnic clensing in Bosnia was it didn't recognized as genocide both by United Nations and the International Court of Justice
After a week, I have an entire notes document, about 6 days till the exam, and have binged all of these videos lmao. I'm about to do more in depth reviews for sub units I'm having more trouble remembering things about, like 2.1, 2.2, and 3.7
my ap test is literally a week from today and my teacher still hasn't taught us anything of unit 9, or finished unit 8. What are the key things I should know and have as things for evidence?
After the WW2 came the Cold War, which was basically an arms race between the US and Russia, as well as Cuba. Europe was split by the iron curtain (through Germany), the West flourishing because of the Marshall Plan, where the US gave money to the Western States to stop the spread of communism from East to West. People in the East wanted to Escape, so the Berlin Wall was created. Basic ideas :). There is a bit after that about de-stalinaztion and re-stalinatoin but im a little foggy
