14 interesting Ways To Learn History

Focus on remembering big-picture events and concepts. When reading and studying history, it’s easy to get bogged down on little details. This makes it nearly impossible to retain the information you’ll need to pass a test or write an essay. Instead, focus on the big-picture topic (e.g., the course topic and sub-topics) and think of smaller events only as they relate to the major topic. This will hone your understanding of the material.
