I ain't even taking AP history this year but I popped in here to tell yall this man is an absolute G! His videos are the reason I got a 5 last year on AP World

Thank you Heimler and good luck everyone 🥰🥰🥰

[hannahong]

Already know this video alone is gonna increase my chances of getting that 5. MCQs might be my biggest weakness

This video and the one you just made on DBQs are making me feel more confident for the AP World exam (I’m still freaking out lol). Thank you for making these strategy videos! I feel okay on the content, just nervous for the timing, but I’m starting to feel better.

I’m so glad I got an accommodation for the test. I tried to take the practice exam at the normal time given and I did awfully. I was only halfway through the MC questions when the teacher said we only had 10 minutes left so I guessed the rest of my questions. I only got one short answer question out of the three done, and by the time I was done analyzing the documents for the DBQ time was already up. I thought it wasn’t fair that I got extra time but then I realized I can’t function like most other students and I can’t do the exam without an accommodation

i see most of us are cramming, goodluck! mines on the 12th and tysm heimler youve been a godsend all year

[parkerbava]

I've been pretty worried about the AP World History exam, as this will be the first of 7 major tests I have to take in May and June (my past 2 years of regents were cancelled bc of covid). Me being a slow reading, I was terrified of the multiple choice section. However, I took a multiple choice practice test this week just like the real thing, and got a 70 (88 with the curve)! What really helped was reading the question first, it helps SO MUCH.

I like how Heimler is very honest about how most students feel about the AP exams! I’m sure it’s very common (and quite frankly, extremely bland and banal) for teachers to say something like, “The test isn’t that hard!”, or “You’ll enjoy it!”

Heimler, though, admits very well that these exams can seem quite stressful and difficult at first! However, he helps us prepare for them VERY well. His tips are amazing!
😊🙏🧡 Thanks!

I know all this and I still get a low score around 23 out of 55 on practice ones

[Sydneylovesyou]

Thank you so much Heimler, I am here this early on this vid to learn how I can get a great score!:)

[courtalton]

Needed this for my unit test 5 hrs ago 😭

[ajred]

I wish I saw this before my AP World unit 8 test maybe I would have been able to get a 100% on it.

[patrickkwon]

Listen to ur gut and know vocabulary to time period got it

[leannagrace]

Cramming this week. My exam is on Friday😭. Haven’t studied yet. I’m stressing.

[nkgrowth]

Can you also please make a video for AP Gov multiple choice questions?

[nathanmcdonell]

Heimler, can you come live at my house and help me study until the exam is over?

[anoobius]

Can you please add a timeline of events in the review packet? I bought it but it didn't help somehow. Most people watch review videos and get at least 80% on their MCQ but I guess that doesn't work for me because I usually score 40-60%. I think it's because I'm not that much of a historian. I have tried the attribute method alone but that's not enough.

[thatxboxguy]

I may be the exception but i find McQs extremely easy, and dare i say fun. While dbqs and leqs are extremely hard and tedious. (I could take or leave saqs)
