How to study effectively for history exams Scholar 09/02/15 (Wed) 10:20:57 No.431

Hey /edu/, what's the best way to study for a history exam? I have university finals in 5 weeks and need to remember tons of content on:

>World war I

>Germany from the birth of the Weimar republic to the Third Reich

>World war II in Europe

>Leni Riefenstahl

>I also need quotes from historians and enough information about the historiography of these events to incorporate this into my essays

Also, general european history discussion thread.

I never had to study history at university level, but when I have to memorize facts I use Anki. I guess you could use it for dates and stuff?

Do you need the quotes from memory or can you use "external help" or something?

Incredilby detailed but incomplete youtube series that is ongoing about WW1.

The best way to study is to do the last year's exam, or failing that write lots of exam style essays.
