<p>Ok, so we're learning about China in honors history. unfortunately, we need to know dozens of Chinese names for the quizzes/tests and what they did(for matching). Usually for quizzes you get one night to read a chapter the night before and then you're quizzed on it. We get our lowest quiz grade dropped, which is good because last week i got a 56 (and a 70). i got a 95 on my first test but i just bombed the last one because i messed up my chronology and essay question :(. Ah..anyone else had to memorize Chinese names for history class?</p>
<p>nope....we have 1 year of world history and its pretty much just about the Renaissance and French Revolution for fresh. year</p>
<p>then we have 2 years of cp/honors us history and 1 year of ap us history...</p>
<p>so no china town down.....all americans</p>
<p>well 20th century US has lots of ties with Chinese, Chinese exclusion Act, immigration, California, mad Chinese become slave miners for white bigots-- you know, the works.</p>
<p>im not big on chinese history, but i would want more equal time shares of europe and asia, europe ISN't the only important continent, and asia did much better than europe up until like 1800's.</p>
<p>haha its true, be thankful
and ya deffinitely make flashcards and go through them over and over and put the ones u know and dont know in different piles until you know everything.
It shouldnt take you too long.
Good luck!</p>

Are you retarded? It's called making flashcards. I wish all my tests and quizzes were matching. It's simple memorization

<p>Um no I am absolutely not retarded and that's uncalled for. And not all my tests and quizzes are matching. my tests are multiple choice, matching, chronology, short answer and 1-2 4 paragraph essays. and my quizzes also have essays. And also remember i have one night to do the reading/memorization on top of my other subjects. Also, he mixes it up sometimes so sometimes its matching/essay and sometimes it's a complete essay quiz (you can't bs it either). So G-U_NOT you're rudeness is really not necessary and I'd appreciate not being told that i'm dumb and i should be thankful when it's not as easy as you seem to think.</p>
<p>wow, wow hold on. i understand that it's probably very difficult and thats why we tried to help you out w/ the flashcards idea and how to use them. the only reason i said be thankful was because trust me it could be a lot worse than matching.
all the same, good luck!</p>
<p>Your school actually teaches Oriental History? My school has nothing but Euro, USH and US Gov. Even though we have a class called World History, it is actually euro in disguise.</p>
<p>it's a world history class. and relesweet my post was mostly aimed at G-U-NOT who called me a retard. that kind of made me mad. i'll try to take your advice though with the flashcards.</p>
<p>Flashcards are time consuming unless you can buy them pre-made, which is what I did for my APUSH class lol. </p>
<p>A fast way to study is to just go through the chapters, look at the key events/people, and run each one about three or four times through your head. It might not be the best way because it's stored in your short-term memory, but it's easy and quick. I always do that at the beginning of class right before the teacher gives out the test/quiz.</p>
<p>yeah... but buying pre-made flashcards takes out half (arbitrary # that i just made up :) ) of the benefit because you learn a lot from writing out the cards. to me at least (and to each brain his own) the actual flashing is secondary. </p>
<p>oh, and i think stacks of cards are annoying. so i fold a piece of paper in half "hot dog" (Ew, gross, unidentified mixed meat) and write the clue on one side, answer on the other side. much more managable than index cards.</p>
<p>^Well, I got 500 pre-made flashcards....I don't think I have the time to make 500+, but I see your point :D . Alot of people learn by writing down the info.</p>
