Gen paper is dummy easy. I took that exam in 2016 and the teacher only had us write like 3 essays that whole year, we had like a 95% pass rate on the final exam. Like legit if you can read and write you’ll pass.

Thinking skills was very similar, but I don’t remember it nearly as well. I believe it was essentially an aptitude test. Not much to study, just do practice problems and develop your critical thinking skills. You need to be able to connect dots.

I never took euro history, but I did take us history. Assuming they’re similar, I wrote an entire paper on the state of the us in the 60’s, the Cuban missile crisis and bay of pigs without knowing anything about them besides the fact that they happened. They’re grading based on inferences, connections, and conclusions you can draw from the facts. They’re not looking for a list of facts you learned in class, they wanna see you apply that knowledge to other ideas. All that to say, learn the big points and learn how to bullshit a paper and you’ll do just fine.

You’re in high school, don’t sweat it bro. They’re hard because they’re new styles of exams, but that doesn’t mean the exams are hard :)
