One SURE Way to Earn COMPLEXITY on a DBQ/LEQ

More Resources from Heimler's History:

HEIMLER REVIEW GUIDES (formerly known as Ultimate Review Packet):

How to earn the complexity point on the DBQ and LEQ? It's been an absolute mystery... until now.

I can't believe CB was never able to explain their own rubric so clearly and simply. Tbh if 2-4% of the students don't get the point, that's College Board failing to design their curriculum well.

im not a huge history fan, but you got to appreciate this man's dedication and passion when it comes to this stuff, thanks for all you do

personally my teacher told us to go for the "relevant and insightful connections within and across periods" and i find it very easy to do this

[riverelk]

can we all appreciate how heimler has never clickbaited anything. like, his videos are always exactly as advertised and that is SO nice. thank you heimler for all that you do!

Hey i just want to let you know that I haven't had a teacher throughout my whole AP government and ap united states history year, -- just a long term substitute who, is very nice, but doesnt have the knowledge to teach us history.
so i tried to self study, except it wasn't really self studying thanks to your guidance. your videos are so packed with information, jokes, positive energy, and youve given me a direction on what to study, how to study, et cetera. I watched your videos last year for world history as well, just thank you so much for doing what you do. these videos and study materials are so helpful to students like me, god bless!

you are single handedly saving my life preparing for the ap world exam right now 😭would absolutely not be able to do this review without your videos

[stuiipid]

Great video! This was the last thing I was struggling on for my studying so thank you so much for this!

For DBQ my strat is just to throw several outside evidence, measure the credibility of documents, and develop a counterargument and disprove it. For LEQ my strat is just make a lot of relevant connections around the world and also the counterargument.

[rocklobster]

Taking AP Lang honestly is a huge help in the sense of being able to creatively use documents rather than regurgitating stuff onto a page.

[weiene]

Thank god this came out the day before my mock, hope I get that 7th point 🙏

[notheno]

Omg I really wish I saw this video before my APUSH exam yesterday 😭

[e-records]

I’m confused. let’s say the prompt is like “evaluate the extent to which the age of exploration was motivated by mercantilist ideas” so what would be the formula for earning complexity on that? Describe continuity and change, cause and effect?? Thanks so much heimler you are saving me!

[Hello-wypx]

So can you still get a complexity point for doing a “synthesis” at the end of your essay?

Also what’s the best way to study when you have 3 weeks left?

[catpiqno]

perfect time for our test on the 11th 🙏

[megabrainsdev]

Heimler, I am still confused how SAQs relate to complexity. How are you supposed to answer SAQ prompts within the leq/dbq ?

[eduth]

This man has a cs attitude towards history

[varsharam]

thank you so much for just like. existing.
