Question: How can I learn the whole history in 4 months!?
Ok!. I have a very important history exam in june where will be questions from all the history from ancient times to nowadays!. I know something, but not enough!. I have to learn a lot, but I don't know where to start!.
Do you know any tips, or any good sites that have the history resumed!? I mean not like in Wikipedia, because it's too much information there!.I want to know only the most important dates and events!. I have to learn universal history and romanian history!.
Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Get a copy of H!.G!. Wells, "A Short History of the World"!.
It's about 320 pages, but it is divided so that you can look at only what you need!.
The book is from 1922, so it doesn't cover events after that time!.
This can generally be found in any library!.
Google Books has a copy online, but I can't guarantee that you'll get access to all pages!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Start at the beginning and work your way to now!. Build time lines for you to study!. Using notes from the discussions and the book!. Don't study for long periods of time just a couple hours at a time!. If you study for a long time your mind doesn't retain much because like you it gets tired!. Go over the highlights, picture captions, the inserts, and the first couple of sentences of the paragraphs!. Just take your time, answer the questions at the end of the chapters!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Search for timelines in specific eras!. Such as WW1 timeline!. It will give you the highlights of each one!. Begin at the beginning of wherever it is you started the year and go forward!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Go to the library, buy historical books!.
Research on things like, WW1 & 2, Slavery, Nazi Germany
all those things!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Break everything down into centuries and study the most significant events in that era!. Build a timeline for each century and then an outline!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
