揭秘!拿AP美史高分的他们,在备考策略上都有何共同点?
那些在AP美史考了高分的学霸们,到底都是怎么学习备考的?
一个外网曾做过一项关于AP美史高分同学的调查问卷。他们给出了以下建议(末尾附上了每位分享者的AP美史分数):
Read the textbook and fill out the college board framework outline. Do writing practice very often.
读教科书,把College board分的9个时间段都填进去。经常联系写作题(AP美史5分)
Focus more on why an event happened and what other events it caused than specific details. They focus a lot on the big picture.
关注为什么一件事情发生了,以及它的后果,而不是那些具体的细节。考试更注意考你对整体情况的认识(5分)
Study a bit every week and don't lose your notes. Practice writing essays if you can and know what each party stood for in each time period.
每周学习一点,不要丢失了你的笔记。多练习写作,而且要知道在不同时间段,每个政党都代表了什么人的利益和支持什么政策(5分)
Review everything. Don't think that something little won't be on the test because it will be.
复习所有的东西,不要以为一个知识点小,考试就不会考了——因为它会的!(5分)
Study everything. On my AP exam they mentioned WW II exactly once and had 10 questions on early spanish and french settlers.
学习所有东西。在我的AP考试里,二战只出现了一次,而上面有10道关于早期西班牙和法国殖民者的题(5分)
READ THE TEXTBOOK. Make sure you are taking notes and reviewing along the way as it is a nightmare to try to cram study. Be able to identify important people, places, and events for every decade.
读好你的教科书!确保你有做笔记,并且在学习过程中有不断复习。因为临时抱佛脚会很可怕。要能够认出每个时期重要的人、地点和事件(5分)
Take mock exams. Practice the essay formats. Review the year's content a few weeks before the exam.
进行模拟考,练习AP历史写作,在考试前几周就要复习整年的学习内容(5分)
Always go back and review each decade after you finish studying it.
每学习完一个时间段,就要回过头复习(4分)
Study little by little rather than saving it for all at the end.
平时就要一点一点地学习和积累,而不要临时抱佛脚(4分)
If you are not good with history, obviously going to need to put work into this class. Be prepared to write, and with hard work it's doable.
如果你对历史不感冒对话,显然你要很努力了。要做好心理准备要写论文,如果你努力的话,高分是没问题的(5分)
Study feminism, immigration, Civil Rights, Slavery, Progressivism, and American Independence in depth, you are guaranteed to have a FRQ and/or Short Answer on it.
深入学习女权运动、移民、平权运动、奴隶制、进步主义、美国独立战争。因为写作题肯定会考以上的题目(4分)
Most of the time, you won't need to read the provided exam passage before answering the question; read the questions before deciding whether or not you need the reading supplement.
Supply outside evidence for every category you make for your APUSH essays; you only need one, but you should want some "insurance" points!
大部分时候,其实你不用看题目给你的资料你就可以答题。所以,先看题目,再去看资料。
另外,在写DBQ论文的时候,记得提供“额外论据”。要拿分你只需要一个额外论据,但是你要多给几个做保险!(5分)
Be sure to practice writing the responses well itll help, also dont leave studying to the last minute you need to really go over all the information.
一定要练习写作,不要临时抱佛脚,一定要充分复习所有内容(4分)
Understand how to interpret FRQ questions and whether they're asking for CCOT, Causation, etc.
I would spend roughly 2-3 hours a night with my notes. I would read pretty indepth but every topic really stuck with me (it felt like I was learning and not memorizing).
要明白怎么解读长论文的题目,明确它们考的是Continuity and Change over time还是Causation等。
我每晚都会花2-3小时过我的笔记。我都是深入阅读,所以我都深入记住了每个主题(我觉得我真的是在“学习”,而不是在死记硬背)(5分)
Honestly, the multiple choice was just common sense. It is useful to have a general idea of events in each period, and the timelines, so that you can easily rule out most of the choices. Take a couple of practice multiple choice test, and if you're hardcore like me, give yourself less time so that by the time you take the AP exam, you'll be efficient. For the free response, be as concise and simple as possible. Do a couple of DBQs and LEQs, until you feel that you're capable of creating a coherent idea in a short amount of time.
说真的,选择题都是常识。你要知道大概每个时期发生了什么,发生的时间线,这样你就可以轻易地把大部分选项都派出了。多做几次选择题的模拟考,如果你和我一样硬核的话,不用在考前留太多时间复习——这样你就会被逼得很高效。在写作题里,尽量得言简意赅。多练习几次DBQ和LEQ,直到你可以在短时间内条理分明地论证一个观点(5分)
Do a lot of practice questions/tests those are helpful.
多模拟考几次,很有用(5分)
Don't procrastinate learning the material; know how time periods connect with each other.
不要拖延症。要知道每个时期都是怎么互相连结的(5分)
Like the other history APs, success on the APUSH exam is 50% memorization and mastery of the content and 50% understanding the rubrics and scoring criteria. As far as practice goes, I did several SAQs, DBQs, and LEQs in class and used AMSCO and secure exams for the multiple choice. Overall, it's not too bad if you start early.
和其他的AP历史课一样,AP美国史要考高分,50%你要熟记史实,50%是要明确论文的改分标准。我练习了几次SAQ, DBQ, LEQ,并用了AMSCO和过去真题来练习选择题。总的来说,如果你开始学习得早,并不会很难(5分)
Do practice short answers/DBQs/LEQs, one of the practice questions I did was literally in the same style as one of the short answers.
一定要练习很多SAQ/DBQ/LEQ,我练习的一道题后和后来出现的真题几乎差不多。(5分)
Study, pay attention to the course material, focus a lot on economic and social changes, less on the military periods. Try to enjoy yourself, and find interesting points in US history.
认真学习,注意历史上的经济和社会变化,找点有意思的点让学习变得更好玩(5分)
Again, your class may require you to take detailed notes. The exam itself won't be too detailed however, so remember the key details. Learn how to write SAQs and Essays.
你老师可能会要求你记很详细的笔记,但是考试本身不会考很具体的东西。但是一定要记住关键的细节。学会怎么写回答写作题(5分)
Start practicing writing thesis statements and short answers VERY early on. Also, for the test, focusing on the DBQ and spending more time on that while only starting an introductory paragraph and counterargument for the LEQ can help you get a stronger score. The DBQ weighs more in score than the LEQ and often, it's just a matter of cramming in as many documents as possible.
要尽早开始练习写中心论点句和SAQ,放更多时间在DBQ上,DBQ分值比LEQ高,尽量包括进所有的documents(5分)
Concentrate on general themes of each of the 9 eras, in terms of mainly political timelines. Don't forget to focus in each era on how the U.S's role in the world changed and how it's economy transformed to suit the world market. Focus on era themes and connect specific ideas to certain people or groups.
专注9个时间段各自的大特点和主题(主要是政治变化)。不要忘记每个时间段里,美国在世界上的角色的变化,以及经济是怎么变化以适应世界市场的。专注于每个时间段的主题和要能把事件和具体的人联系起来(5分)
Memorize the general trends and events of each time period (and apply that knowledge to stuff you don't know) and you are guaranteed a 4+
记住每个时间段大的历史潮流和特点,并用它们来帮你做那些你不确定的题目。这样你就肯定可以拿4分以上(5分)
上面都是AP美史高分过来人的宝贵学习经验总结与学习建议,都是非常实用客观的意见。
那这么多位AP美史高分的过来人,他们在学习上都有什么共同点呢?跟着学姐一起来看看。
经验分享中很多人都提到了以下5个共同点:
1.不要临时抱佛脚!尽早有个学习计划。因为学习的内容多,平时就要慢慢积累,并且不断回头复习。
2.边学习要边做笔记,这样可以加深记忆。自己做笔记的这个过程是无法替代的。
3.要“学习”(有主动思考的过程),而不是被动地死记硬背。
4.相比SAT2,AP考得更多是big picture——也就是你对整个历史的宏观掌握,而比较少考你具体的细节(比如具体的年月日)。所以更重要的是掌握每个时间段的大的主题、变化、能把不同的ideas给串联起来,但同时也要确保能记住关键事情,以及能把它们和具体的人联系起来。
5.要知道阅卷老师是怎么批改你的作文的(官方给分纲领),并且要多练习写作题。
