[@pranavr9536]

I do not take AP World anymore, but last year when I did, we had no teacher, and we had to do everything online, so when we went online because of covid, nothing changed. The reason I got a 5 is because of this legendary man

At that point finish the essay not even worth erasing it 😭😭😭

[@drithehilarious9856]

Ngl it was easy I just ran out of time in didn’t do the LEQ at all cause I wasn’t paying attention when she said 45 minutes I just kept writing for DBQ 😂!

[@generalgrievous3731]

I like "Evaluate the extent to which..." questions. Last year, I got one for my AP Euro DBQ: "Evaluate the extent to which Enlightenment ideas produced gradual or radical change" if I remember correctly. I ended up getting a 5 :)

[@jacobg9656]

these are the opposite for me lol

[@Joellations]

so can you explain that prompt?

[@user-ry9pd3hg7u]

@@Joellations “how have the ideas formulated during the age of Enlightenment created small or big changes in society”

[@chiamakao._.8304]

@@Joellations how much change did the enlightenment bring onto Europe, was it gradual (meaning slow and steady) or radical (fast and aggressive)

[@chrisg.5798]

That was such a better prompt then the one we got this year 😭

[@isabelllee7057]

Note to self: it’s trying to get you to choose which is the most significant. Force you into a stand, a lot of something or a little of something. If neither then it’s a continuity. Evaluate to the extent to which- how much did (blank) affect/change (blank) -choose a lot or a little or continuity -weigh your options and argue contradicting documents so that they fit your essay

[@shhhyourtooloud257]

teachers might as well paste this comment in their lessons because you described it perfectly!

Thanks Mr. Heimler. Could you do a video on **how to group documents in FRQ?**

As a first year world history teacher, heimler is a hero without a cape! 🎉

[@kay.n8412]

I am sadly watching this video after I have taken the AP World History test and I found out I wrote my entire DBQ wrong because I misunderstood the prompt. I will cry later....

[@christopherfix8796]

By writing all of your unit review videos, I got the highest score on my final, which is a previous exam. I got a 52/55

[@samuelroberts8449]

I took APUSH last year. But I still watch these videos cuz I like the sound of your voice

[@cubed.public]

Ok so what should we do to make prompts clearer? How about we replace "Analyze" with "Evaluate" That's genius everyone would understand it now

[@yktvklk8022]

they don’t want everyone to pass so they probably won’t do it

[@khalidr0m10]

Hello Mr. Heimler, how are you on this fine day?

[@jonahroth5378]

I’m good! How are you doing, Mr. Abou-Khamis?

[@luvikoos]

we talk about you like every day in apush you’ve saved me so many times tysm😭

[@isabelllee7057]

Dear Mr heimler, when I was cramming for the exam I was binging ur vids and staying up until 2 am every night. Thank the lords that u make the vids(cause u defiantly helped me a ton) but now they are giving me ptsd to the time when I would rewatch ur vids 10x in a row and be stressed out Sincerely, A thankful but scarred student

[@BeetrixGaming]

BIG QUESTION: will there be unit reviews/overviews for all the other units in APUSH? Those help me so much, and if the rest of them show up I'll be watching those right before the AP. Otherwise I'll spend more time watching all the individual vids, which is okay, but I find the unit reviews super helpful to cement the main details in my mind. Got a 5 on a practice test, thanks so much and keep it up!

[@SimplyMiPrii]

Was the practice test on college board?

[@BeetrixGaming]

@@SimplyMiPrii I took a practice test in Barron's APUSH test prep book. I have found Barron's tests to be very helpful in studying for the College Board's tests. Using their materials, along with Khan Academy, I was able to get a 1530 on the SAT and a 770 on SAT Subject test for Biology. If anything, their tests are slightly harder than the actual thing, which I find helpful. Their material is also very clear and easy to follow.

[@SimplyMiPrii]

@@BeetrixGaming Thank you so much! Wish you the best on the exams!

[@rem-ym8no]

20 seconds into the video..... wow thanks for the encouragement heimler!

Hi heimler you are a great help in for my WHAP class.

[@norahbelcher7004]

thanks mr. heimler, these videos really help :) I appreciate u

[@applsanddogs]

Hi Mr. Heimler In general, are the DBQs or LEQs more harder (for APWH). I feel like DBQs would take much longer and more brain power to comprehend - but the LEQs just seem like you're writing from memory solely...

[@bobbyc4thewin505]

Love the Chris Farley reference!

[@animantis]

Question: do we have any idea of what topics the prompts would be on for the DBQs/SAQs?

[@ayeshanasir3598]

Could you please make a video on or explain how to understand the historical thinking skills ?

[@joshboevers7982]

Thanks! I'm gonna need this

[@larryberkovski439]

Mr. Heimler, on the essays, can we start our thesis statement with a counter argument and then put our argument/claim? Example: Even though some may claim that the North achieved their Reconstruction goals, I claim that the South best achieved its Reconstruction goals.

[@islandeisaac]

Watching this a second time was really helpful

[@heimlershistory]

Well that makes me glad...

[@fastbreakfilms1155]

Is the DBQ going to be graded with the 10 point or 7 point rubric for online exams this year?

[@SleeplessWrestling]

keep pumpin these videos out!

[@generallukeproductions]

Will every prompt be “evaluate the extent to which”

[@dumphiun]

seriously thank you so much for everything

[@lilyp4708]

My biggest issue with writing DBQs is the time limit, I just can’t write it all fast enough, any tips?

[@pinkpanther7442]

Take a caffeine pill and wash it down with two cans of redbull. You'll be writing so fast the paper will catch on fire

[@grandmadepot3573]

read the documents immediately after the prompt and group them. by grouping them right away, you will be able to base your essay on the groups, also following what he said in the video

[@mystica3671]

Pink panther lmao

[@isaacpollard3676]

So, for example, if i believe that there was great change could i use a continuity as a body paragraph or will that hurt my argument and essay overall?

1:42 That actually wouldn’t be historically accurate, since the Belgians didn’t control the Congo until the nineteenth century, NOT the eighteenth

[@twistiicuber1055]

1:43 Hey Heimler, maybe this isn’t really too important at all, but did u mean “Southeast Asia” instead of “East Asia” I’m not trying to nitpick you or anything like that haha, I think you’ve provided a lot of help for me in APWH man, so thank you very much for that

[@umiumi5508]

Wait I’m so confused. In the APUSH prompt, how is that asking “how much did the US economy change?” It sounds like it’s saying “how significantly did the Civil War effect US economy?” Are they the same? My brain is mush.
