Study Tips for History

• Create timelines for each unit. Seeing events in chronological order helps you identify cause-and-effect relationships that essay questions test.

• Practice writing thesis statements. A strong thesis takes a clear position and previews your argument — it is the single most important sentence in a history essay.

• When reading primary sources, ask: Who wrote this? When? For whom? Why? These questions reveal bias and purpose, which is exactly what DBQ graders look for.

• Use active recall: close your notes and try to explain a historical event out loud from memory. If you cannot explain it clearly, you do not understand it well enough yet.
