How should I study for an AP World History test??
It is a little late if it is tomorrow and you are in a panic. One needs to study as you go, take notes, ask the teacher what is most important to know. Meet people for study groups, and ask other in class what they think will be most important on the test. If it is multiple choice questions, always go with your first gut answer, don't second guess your self unless you look over the test and realize that you answered it wrong. If it is essay... either read over the whole chapter, and take notes or out line the chapter and highlight the things you think are most important to remember and memorize those...but you will need to stay up all night...or just drop it and start studying now the right way for the next test.
How to study for a history test?
Okay, if you took notes during classes in History, your on the write path. If you can read both chapters, that's good. But if you REALLY want to make it interesting . . . turn of the t.v...cell phone because those are basically the main distractions. Play some of your favourite music (on low). and relax in your favourite spot reading. I tried it once and I got at least a 98, and I didn't know a thing. Music for me doesn't make reading boring. Good luck ~Jenn
Studying for a history test?
Your best bet is to go in after school and talk with your teacher. Go over material and ask him what to study. You and your teacher can create an outline together. I'm sure your teacher will be happy to help and will be pleased with your initiative. Break it up into sections, Tuesday- go in after school and create a study guide, when you get home study the Middle Colonies, Wednesday, review the Middle, and study the Southern and New England, Thursday, Review all and maybe go in for an extra session with your teacher if your feeling overwhelmed. Best of luck! I'm sure you'll do just fine. Also make sure to re-read any materials you've been given, go over vocab, look over handouts and notes. Teachers tend to get their questions from here. Don't stress too much though, once your in high school you'll laugh over how much studying you did in middle school because it won't matter since middle-school grades don't go on your transcript. You should do fine, review, go in for help, and try not to stress. Best of luck!
What is the best way to study history for exams?
History is alleged to be the most boring subject. Rather an understandable reasoning considering the way we are taught. But, in my opinion, its fairly interesting if you spend some time on it.Before dwelling on how to study, it is important to know why we study.Why do we study history?Some of the answers of the above Quora link will give you a comprehensive understanding of that. Basically, experience is important, and History teaches us the mistakes and achievements of our ancestors.History can be studied interestingly, by thinking of it as a story. We can connect most of the incidents with the present. I have found that in higher classes dates are of less importance, but the period in which the event taken place is important. NAMES are the most important part of History. You can treat them as the characters of this elaborate story.Always keep a notepad or something similar to jot down important points as you seem fit.Remember not to memorize, or mug up. Try to form a connection with each incident. The connection is easy to form in the case of many events. One event will be the cause of another, and then that may lead to another. This is the best method.Above all don’t consider it as a burden.

What is the easiest way to study for a AP history test?
The best preparation for the APUSH test takes time and energy. If you want to achieve a 5, be prepared to work long and hard.Make sure to pay attention, take detailed and accurate notes, read the textbook, and review previous topics throughout your time in US History classes. If the test material is split between two years of history, make sure to begin to study with an AP focus beginning in your first year.Every time you have a test in history, study both the material specific to this test and previous material to keep it fresh in your mind. Make connections between chapters and historical periods as you study them, and look for patterns throughout history. Try to approach history wholly and holistically: maintain a working knowledge of all history studied so far as you study new time periods, and learn to examine cultural, economic, social, political, geographical, and religious aspects of history.AP-specific review books can be helpful. I used the “Fast Track to a 5” book to review—it is concise and easy to understand, yet all of the necessary material is contained within about 300 pages. I read and notated each chapter (it is split up by time period), then took the review test. I would highly recommend it.I would take a practice test (available through some AP review books) or look at sample questions on the College Board website before reviewing to learn your areas of difficulty. Don’t dedicate time to World War 2 if you already have a complete understanding of it, for example; dedicate the most time to the areas in which your understanding is weakest.Your AP history teacher is a huge resource. If you don’t understand something or you would like to know the review sources he/she favors, ask! I had some trouble understanding economic theories during my review, but my teacher was always able to point me to relevant and helpful sources, and I had no trouble understanding any of the test material.Stay up to date on current events. In an essay or DBQ, you can gain points for tying in a present-day connection. Additionally, understanding the events of the present can help you to understand the events of the past.Don’t think that you can learn over 200 years of history in less than a month. Start working now, and you will succeed!Best of luck!

How do I study for History of Mathematics test?
I started off with something manageable and fun. A popular math book called: Math in a 100 key breakthroughs. http://www.amazon.com/Math-100-B...This was a good way to peak my interest. The chapters are a manageable size (2-4 pages each), so it also built my confidence. After that, I went onto the YouTube videos. The first was a BBC documentary about the parallel origins of The Calculus: (I have a special interest in understanding calculus better, so I can take Cal02) BBC television has a sizeable number of videos on maths history:http://m.youtube.com/playlist?li... (I like to watch documentaries during my lunch break at work). Finally, after: peaking my interest, building my confidence, and treating maths history as part of my daily/weekly routine, I went the academic route. YouTube has a playlist belonging to a maths history college course:https://m.youtube.com/playlist?l...I purchased the textbook used in this class, but I've only seen the first 2 videos and read the first chapter, so far. http://www.amazon.com/Mathematic...Normally, I would try to find an electronic version. I went for a physical textbook this time. It's not terribly expensive. Also, since I will be watching videos that reference this book, I figured a hard copy would offer another way of encoding information. Ultimately, I try to engage as many senses as I can and get 3 repetition opportunitIes when learning. By the time I get to the textbook, I've probably already read a blurb and watched a documentary on the topic. If I get stuck on a topic, I do an internet search for definitions and examples. I also reference previous pages or videos (e.g., page 87 provides the reasoning for this equation or statement) Hope that helps!!
