    At around 14:12 the question asks about nations but you say history? Can you comment on this please? Should the question have asked about "history" rather than "nations'? I have been really enjoying your lessons. Just wanted to bring this to your attention, unless I missed something! The question is "What does the word nations mean in the passage above"

      Wow, you're 100% correct. It should have been about history instead of nations. I can't believe I didn't catch that. Sorry for the confusion!

    ❤❤❤❤ I passed my social studies test today/ this morning with 148. Thanks a lot. It would have been higher, but working 16 hours and trying to study while at work and before was a struggle, but I passed that that is all that matters. All other tests as well. Your videos are the best. Last month, I passed my science with the help of your videos.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ one left that is Math

I'm so nervous because this is my last try for the year. You can only take the test 3 times in a year and if you fail you have to wait 60 days to retake the test.

    Hi, so at about 6:26 in the video you give an example of a sentence where researchers make a prediction. While I can understand that a prediction is an opinion, doesn't the way the sentence is worded make it a fact? It says, "Researchers believe that we will have a cure for cancer by 2030." While this is a prediction of researchers, it also states that this is the belief of the researchers. Therefore, doesn't it work similarly to the reporting of a belief/opinion that someone else had made, making it a fact? Similarly to how the opinion was introduced in an earlier example by saying, "Parker said?" Please explain.

    • @TestPrepChampions
      @TestPrepChampions  11 місяців тому +2

      Hi, thank you for watching. Sorry for the confusion. I understand what you're saying. I may even go back and cut this example out of the video. I probably should have made the sentence say "We will have a cure for cancer by 2030" or something like that. The point I wanted to make is that a prediction is generally considered an opinion on the test.

      I had the same issue with the stop sign in Delaware example before that. That is why I went into the comments before completing the video. Saying that a newspaper argues something sounds like a fact to me. Arguing it however seems like an opinion.
      I'm happy to be wrong, but not being sure is frustrating, since it adds more confusion.

Territories Lead by the Same Government, was not the corret answer in question two of video 9 of 16 besause if i understand correctly a nation wraped up in a nutshell is pretty much an exact match to answer choice B. How does a study of past events have a correlation to the definition of a nation. I am just alittle confused as to why a was the correct answer and not b.
