About

We'll be going over the AP History writing format for the DBQ, SAQ, and LEQ, all three of which make up the FRQ portion for three of the AP History exams. If you’re taking AP World, APUSH, or AP Euro, or are planning on taking any of them, I’d highly recommend joining! The general skills for the writing section are the same across the three aforementioned exams.
﻿
All are welcome to join!

If you joined my previous series on this in the autumn, it's the same format :)

Hi! I'm an incoming university student with a passion for law, education, and psychology. When I'm not listening to music, you can find me reading poetry, baking, or crocheting. I’ve taken a wide variety of AP courses (listed below) and have been a part of various teams here at Schoolhouse—I'm currently a coach and a User Support co-lead. If you have any questions or want to review topics together, feel free to reach out (preferably via Slack, I respond a lot faster there)—I’d love to help! APs: Calculus, Comparative Government, English Language, English Literature, Environmental Science, European History, French, Precalculus, Psychology, Statistics, US Government, US History
