<p>I have the AMSCO book and wanted to finish the whole thing by this Friday (I have SAT2 this Saturday) and I've barely started...should I read the Spark Notes online SAT2 USH book which I think is more condensed or try and cram in all of AMSCO?</p>
<p>bump.......</p>
<p>both suck</p>
<p>get REA if you can</p>
<p>Try to read as much AMSCO as possible. Do practice tests on SparkNotes and REA. Just a reminder that REA has a lot of useless information.</p>
<p>chronic just mad</p>
<p>juventus read book all day</p>
<p>Does REA have accurate practice tests?</p>
<p>haha, I'm in the same position as you. I'm on chapter 11 of 30 in the AMSCO book, and it takes me about a half an hour per chapter. But I have tomorrow off, so that'll be like major study time. I'd say go with AMSCO if you can...</p>
<p>yeah, REA tests are MUCH harder than the real thing, either SAT II or AP. I took a practice AP and SAT exam and got a 76 on one and a 85 on the other, whereas I have yet to surpass a 62 on any REA test. </p>
<p>Last year, I did even worse with Euro and REA...I never left the 50s, yet on the day of the test I knew (with 100% certainty) the answer to 75+ questions.</p>
<p>AMSCO is good though. I'm using it for all of the post 1945 stuff since we haven't covered it yet.</p>
<p>Rant****
Everyone in my class (except for me) cheats on every exam...take last exam (1945 - 52) for example...many 80s to 100s...whereas I got a 68 (LOL!) and everyone knows I am one of the strongest students in the class (I mean, I studied this stuff the summer before)...but those Pageant tests ask little details I DOUBT would show up one the AP Exam/SAT II and since I dont have much time to study right now for them (I have other APs to worry about) I ended up with miserable grades on the last two (73 and 68)...I guess I'm gonna suffer for my excess pride, but oh well.
/end rant</p>
<p>has anyone tried the sparknotes notecards? </p>
<p>they seem to be really useful for me....</p>
