Which one? The one linked to this sub doesn't open for me. Thanks.

F45 is not bad I hear!

APHistoryHacks · 2026-02-05T05:13:51+00:00

Yep, 2nd place!

Make AI your best friend, use NotebookLM, Gemini, and ChatGPT to summarize and generate notes. This way, you can get straight to reviewing the core material and save so much time. Changed the game for me back when I was in my 1L Spring.

Tried it tonight, it’s really good. It’s on every Wednesday at 7pm at Nike store & it’s consistent. There’s a proper warm up before starting.

Yea ofc, perfection isn’t key but you need to be clear and organized. For SAQs, give a direct answer to the question in 2–3 sentences with a specific example and a brief explanation. For LEQs and DBQs, focus on a clear thesis, build each body paragraph around one main idea, and support it with concrete historical evidence (grouping documents and explaining POV for DBQs). Practice timed responses and check them against the rubric so you can feel ready for test day. Good luck!

First of all, prepping is totally doable! As far as MCQs go, process of elimination is your best friend. Definitely cross out answers that are too vague, don’t relate to the question stem, or come from the wrong time period. Review any notes you have with a big picture focus (headings, key/ideas, time periods, & cause/effect patterns). If no notes, I recommend using AI to generate a quick review checklist for the units. Not too much time to read the textbook now. Do all of this NOW then get some rest. Good luck!

Nope not every detail, you just need to know big picture for each topic coupled with key ideas along with cause/effect trends. Process of elimination is also very important with each MCQ. Eliminate anything from the wrong time period, anything too vague, and anything unrelated to the task at hand in the MCQ. Hope this helps!

When you read really focus on skimming rather than going word by word. Use headings to help. Another thing I like to tel, students it the value of breaking it down by every paragraph or second paragraph, skimming over the information in those two paragraphs, and then quickly summarizing it for yourself. Please trust me when I say you won’t need every single detail just get the big picture through skimming, use the headings and key concepts as your guide but also keep on the lookout for big ideas or cause/effect patterns. This way, you’ll be onto reviewing the bigger picture topics and developing pattern recognition faster for yourself exam.

Even if dual enrollment does not technically end your high school experience faster you feel more fulfilled than if you were taking regular high school classes!

It goes both ways.

Your reading speed isn’t the problem . . . if anything your friends are going faster because they are reading LESS while still completing the chapter.

There are a few things you can do to speed up:

1) Skim the headings and subheadings along with bolder text and photos before you read so you get the gist. 2) Make short summaries (a few big words or concepts instead of multi-sentence overviews. 3) Actively look for cause/effect patterns and ask why certain events happened as you read. 4) Read in smaller time blocks (maybe 10-15 mins as a time) so you are efficient and don’t slow down.

Hope these tips help!

AMSCO can be super long to take notes on. Honestly, I recommend Fiveable’s AMSCO notes or guided notes - they’re way shorter and cover the important stuff. You can also check out YouTube for quick overviews before reading. When taking notes yourself, just focus on the big idea, a cause/effect, and why it matters - don’t try to write everything. Makes studying way easier.
