<p>When in you're history class, what's your attitude(please share your ideas if you are successful at it). Like, do you try to make a story out of it(I'm doing ap euro), and like play it in your head? How do you memorize dates, etc. What enables you to do well in that class? Thanks.</p>
<p>Lies. :)
"THIS IS SO FREAKING FUN!!! YAYY!! I LOVE MONTESQUIEU! HE'S HOTT!!"
It eventually becomes reality. Well, at least for me.</p>
<p>Oh, and worship the book. Obsess over it.</p>
<p>Yes. A controlled, manic, denial. :)</p>
<p>Yeah you're going to have to live with it for awhile, so might as well train yourself to have a passion for it.
I keep my notes in perfect condition and create fancy book covers for my books purely for that purpose. I find that if I meticulously work then I develop a passion for it. Meticulous work creates passion and obsession. Thus I'm enthusiastic about learning.</p>
<p>What!? I'm not living a lie! (honestly I don't care, as long as it's a freaking A and I succeed!)</p>
<p>Kiss your book in the middle of class if you must. I say, screw those who think you're insane. :)</p>
<p>Yes Paroxsym, we think as one.</p>
<p>Because we're long lost siblings. :)
I'm not afraid of appearing strange, because the truth is I am.</p>
<p>Now, if I may ask, as my memory does not permit - Are you my older, or younger sibling?</p>
<p>If you're born in 1992 I am your older sibling.</p>
<p>Alas, enlighten me, for I wish to wallow in your wisdom my sister! Yes, I am a freak.</p>
<p>Teachers ask (trivia) questions, I happily answer them.</p>
<p>Am I the only one left in this world that loves history without this obsessive neatness and schizophrenia?</p>
<p>Make outlines.</p>
<p>My history teacher was amazing but she tested on the most miniscule things in the textbook. Reread your notes every night. For dates, you just need to memorise, memorise. </p>
<p>Granted, I slept a lot in that class since it was 9th period but I still took meticulous notes.</p>
<p>Yes, outlines are great!! This is how we pass classes at my school! Usually, I'd take notes then make outlines (or study sheets as we call them at my school) for quizes & tests. I did this for every reading assignment we had also (history & other subjects. they're great for last minute reading review) Good organization on those can be key, so put the stuff in an order that makes sense to you. Take super good notes & clue in on the stuff the teacher's stressing (if they say a name or place a ton of times in one minute, I'd say that name or place will be a test question!). Look out for the teacher phrases of '... this WILL be a test question...' (very obvious version) & '...gee, ya know this could make a pretty good test question...' (not as obvious version). Also what's helped me is 1) for me it's interesting & I just have this weird knack for remembering most of it and 2) I've always had awesome & funny history teachers</p>
<p>I am the biggest loser in my history class, seriously my nickname for awhile was textbook because i knew everything. If there was ever a question my hand was up, when ever we played trivia I was so excited plus I loved my history teacher. Basically I outlined chapters in the textbook by hand and then typed them up and I would have my mom quiz me on every single miniscule detail before a test which served me well considering I was number 1 in my class for history. For me it really depends on the teacher plus I love politics and I wanted to get into APUSH.</p>
<p>I've always loved history, so i guess my passion for it always helps me deal with tests and memorization stuff. most of it is pretty interesting to me, although some of the stuff dealing with all the different religions can get pretty aggravating.</p>
<p>having an interest in it would definitely help.</p>
<p>Oh.</p>
<p>I make outlines of the TEXTBOOK.</p>
<p>LOL.</p>
<p>^ I was going to do that for mine but then I found chapter outlines online...</p>
