Study Tips Fundamental ideas about learning: Fundamental Idea What does this mean in your own words? 1 Some kind of difficulties during learning help to make the learning stronger and better remembered. 2 When learning is easy, it is often superficial and soon forgotten. 3 Not all of our intellectual abilities are hardwired. When learning is effortful, it changes the brain, making new connections and increasing intellectual ability. 4 You learn better when you wrestle with new problems being shown the solution, rather than the other way around. 5 To achieve excellence in any sphere, you must strive to surpass your current level of ability. 6

APUSH Writing the Document-Based Question (DBQ) The APUSH exam format includes one document-based question. Students will have 55 minutes to answer it. Guidelines Long-essay writing skills. The initial mystery of answering a DBQ largely disappears if you remember that it builds on the skills for writing the long-essay question, including the skills of developing a background statement (B), thesis that ?takes a position (TAP)? and has a ?roadmap (R)?; argumentation supported with relevant historical evidence; use of targeted historical thinking skills; contextualization, and synthesis. The basic difference between the long-essay question and a DBQ is that in the DBQ students must analyze and use documents in your supporting arguments.
