of course, this isn’t the case for every history class! if you’re younger, you probably will have to memorize dates

[@cubingwithchens]

Do you speedcube? I've seen a Gan in a couple of your videos so I was curious.

[@pekokkk]

im in 7th grade do you think thats young enough to still be memorizing dates? my 6th grade history teacher at a different school said not to

[@gnorthey]

@@pekokkk The best bet is to ask your teacher if you will have to memorize any dates. I had an 8th grade teacher who used to make us memorize some dates.

[@pekokkk]

@@gnorthey oh ok, thanks.

[@mahinchawla8705]

Im now in the 11th grade in the isc curriculum so I didn’t have to take history this year. Though, up until last year in the tenth grade, when the curriculum was still under icse I had to memorise dates for my board exams. ISC and icse are Indian board certificates.

[@rr.aionama]

My history teacher: i’m going to give you a list of 50 dates one of them is a date of a war, not gonna tell you which, and you must choose the exact date it started.

This kinda boils down to every class. Get the bigger picture, then you can keep branching out from there. One of your previous vids said that I think.

I find it best to listen to it like a story. This is the background, untill things mingled to create the event. History is fun because it's stories at the end of the day.

[@smolfishyboi7887]

I usually just memorize the formula

[@italus7404]

pay attention in class and do homework, if you cant finish an exercise look at the formula and go back to exercises you've already done

[@OfficiallyFreehugs]

Just pay attention and ask questions. Doing homework is the best way to improve your skills.

[@oh-no-not-me]

These were actually the exact same things my history teacher said. I love her so much, class is never borderline boring with her

I take AP History classes so I barely even have to try😂. You just have to have the general ideas/timeframes about stuff and your perfect. And as long as your semi-solid of one or 2 events you can get through the LEQ and DBQ smoothly.

[@kitycatrggaming5228]

How? :OOO

[@megabrainsdev]

This method is especially important in World History because sometimes the years, dates are useless during the ancient civilizations since they are different for every source due to how old it is.

[@Saxophonin]

Yes. Recently did an indigenous history unit (in Australia) and it was like. Barely matters if you remember dates. Just causes, significance and context.

[@gaffagan]

yesssss, the order in which events happen is so much more important than the exact date and/or year

[@symeremeyers4148]

The key thing when studying history is not emphasising what happened but why it happened

[@Ziffelzoovop]

Useful, exact all my teachers seemed to care about was the dates. Names and locations were important to them too, but the actual events, what caused them, and how they changed or didn't change things was almost never addressed.

[@VROOM879]

Can you do one like “How to not get distracted in class/ pay attention easily.” That would really help me

[@jkr648]

animated videos for history is much better than textbooks in schools i forget a lot from textbooks but those videos are mostly imbedded in my mind for years

[@amberrenee1412]

Mind maps work great! One of my favorite note taking styles

Unironically I'm in the top of my class in history but I was ass a few years ago. What really helped me is understanding that class is the driving force of history, once you know that, it's all pretty easy to understand.

Tbh, what made history easy for me is the fact that it's just so easy if you study

[@aayangupta7163]

ty for making this, really helps

[@sean8369]

I’d like to add, as someone who has gotten a 5 in human geo, AP world, and APUSH, a huge amount of doing well in history is being good at educated guests. You’re not going to remember every specific detail about every person and event, but if you know vaguely what was going on around a certain time, you can pretty accurately figure out the answer to a lot of questions

[@chiimei]

the funny thing is the night before my recent history exam i was having a panic attack because we needed to memorise the EXACT dates, names and cities certain events happened . not only did we have barely any lessons for history ( 1 period for 2 days a week ), but im a very forgetful person. believe my shock when i got a perfect score for that exam.

[@matiasscribe4000]

Well, that could apply if you live in America, but if you live in places like Spain, the UK, France, Italy or Greece, which are countries with a lot more history, then the dates are very important

[@user-rs6dn3rj1o]

small tip:history gets easier once you treat it as a novel and understand it event after event connecting events in history is really important and during class you should make a small timeline and write a brief description in those notes its really easy to study history if you study it event after event and remembering dates gets easier

[@haphuongle2920]

By putting dates in chronological order on a timeline and looking at the bigger picture, I find it easier to remember dates in general, including my own past life. My higschool math teacher told my class that forgetting pieces of info is normal. The important thing to know where to find where that piece of info from. A system to order info helps process info faster, like a library.

[@Thundermikeee]

My History classes always had some dates in the exam, although usually just accurate to the year and maybe month. I never memorized dates because memorizing is boring as heck, but I still always got good grades. That teacher knew how to give everyone a chance at passing, no matter if you like memorizing or linking events or even just interpreting evidence.

[@yuruyukii]

My history teacher: Puts in the exam questions that directly ask the precise dates of events.

[@x3nnex.mp4]

YO THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have a AP exam next week and this willl def help

[@raksrulesaks]

My approach to history has always been to see it as a story of the world. Coming from a culture of oral histories (Indian culture) it’s maybe why historical topics always stuck better. If I reminded myself of the story, the context, the clues… I got it. And bc I started this strategy in the 5th grade it got me pretty far ngl.

[@zebucket4379]

My history grade skyrocketed when I had a string of teachers who liked teaching history, and when I realized oversimplified exists

[@FoxerZ]

Oh thank God. I'm taking a high level history class(per my parents request) and I suck at history. Not enough to go to lower classes but still. You just saying we don't have to memorize dates is a game changer-

I just started 8th grade and my new History teacher is just like this. He's my new favorite is that subject.

[@lauravient4077]

[@Raayo.m]

another tip if you cant remember dates during an exam: if you cant remember a date, you can use words that kind of define the dates, eg. if the date is 1833 and you cant totally recall it, you can write 1830's or early 18th centure

[@YuniLoops-fd8bf]

Honestly your yt helps me with revision and stuff like that i will make sure to use these in highschool! Keep it up

Dude i almost failed history last year cause my study guides were like 7 or 8 pages of just specific dates, names, places, etc(and it was modern world history so half of it was remembering old english bullshit or things in other languages ;-;). And it was so overwhelming that i would never finish them and then be hurting on the test. I started school on wednesday and my Teacher said those exact words and i get the feeling he will be my favourite history teacher ^^
