History Tutor: AP European History

History is a demanding subject, particularly when it comes to AP European History. History in itself is basic memorization and correlations, but the key to succeeding in this class is good organizational skills. With the right study habits, any student can be guaranteed a passing AP score. Study Hut Tutoring has the ability to provide students with the necessary regimen that will lead to a three or above!
The first step is to read the entire chapter and outline it. The act of writing and reiterating the main points allows for better memorization. It is important for an outline to highlight key events and contain the important W’s (who, what, where, when, and why?).  The outline should be followed up by a constructed time-line and flow chart that presents the main ideas of the chapter. This will provide the student with a big picture and will aid immensely in future studying for any class tests and the AP test itself.

Once a student has treated every chapter in this manner, other study skills can be incorporated in order to obtain a basic understanding of the content and key points. These skills include end of the chapter tests, online self-check quizzes, outside content reading, and puzzles offered by many online and text book resources.
It is also important for a student of AP Euro to obtain a copy of an AP Euro study guide at least five months before the test. This gives the student an ample amount of time to read the book’s content and look
through the practice exams. It is absolutely imperative that a student does at least one practice test and two practice essays under timed conditions, and of course, the more the better.  All of these skills and tools will benefit the student in their quest for a passing score on the AP, but it is also important to know that it is up
to the student to utilize them!
