If you need help studying for your AP Exams (AP World History or AP U.S. History) then here are the four tips you need to help you do well. Remember that the AP Exam is a skills based assessment, so if you know all your content, but haven't practiced the skills, you're in for trouble.

However, in this video Heimler gives you the four main tips you need to focus your study for your AP World History and APUSH exams. And the truth is, this strategy works for every AP exam, so if you're not in either of those classes, you can follow the same tips as well.

Was here last year for WHAP, and now I’m back for APUSH. Thank you Heimler for saving me last year, I bet you can save me this year 🙏

You got me a 4 on APWH last year and now I’m back for a 5 on APUSH. You do so much.

Notes from the video

1. Adopt the AP test mindset
youre tested on how well you can think historically and not just content so don't start studying content first
2. Know your grading rubrics (DBQ and LEQ)
read and know it well
3. Take practice exams
once a week from teachers (AP classroom) or in a review book
4. Know your content
ditch your textbook- will overwhelm you and have content you don't need
use CED (course exam room description)- can be found online where college board outlines everything that could be on exam; anything not on it will not be on the exam
- look at learning objectives& illustrative examples (know at least two of them)

The Princeton Review books are the best. I learned everything in a week and got a 5 for APUSH, and I knew nothing during the school year.

[josecardona]

I think I am gonna be brain dead after all the testing next month.

[amaliach]

The part about the CED was an absolute lifesaver, thank you!!

Heimler really is my saving grace in history classes. Last year I managed to squeeze out a 5 in AP World thanks to binge watching his videos during quarantine. And before every test I have in APUSH this year, I have to watch his review videos. Thank you so much, Heimler. You’re doing god’s work.

im seeing all comments saying "oh my test is next week and i just started studying"... my test is tomorrow and i just started studying TODAY

[ll-vfrm]

"don't start studying a week before the exam"
me reviewing everything the day before 😗

Edit: I got a 2 on my AP world ;;
I'm a sophomore now and I'm taking the AP Euro exam on friday, started studying last week. I feel like I can get a 5, but I still wish I've started studying earlier lololol

EDIT 2: I GOT A 4 AND I FELT AMAZINGLY CONFIDENT DURING THE EXAM!!!

[madelynwatson]

you’ve been my saving grace in ap world and apush idk how i’m gonna do ap econ without you next year :(

[davidk]

THE CED IS A LITERAL LIFE SAVER THANK YOU SM

[taya]

I usually don't comment on these but this channel has been such a LIFESAVER thank you so much for putting in the effort to post all of these and help us out 💕

[hashirahmed]

Bruhhh. The test is soon and I have only read 3 4ish chapters 🤦‍♂️ 😔

[chrisd.]

Got this in my recommended the day of my Ap exam after I already took it. What a big brain move YouTube, thank you for enlightening me that the true, and best time for studying for a test is 4 hours after it’s completion.

[khalidrm]
