<p>Is Barron's SAT II World History book enough prep to get an 800, or should I supplement it with my extremely detailed world history text? Should I try other prep books?</p>
<p>barrons itself is very detailed as far as i know.</p>
<p>yeah, barrons is perfect. Its way more then you need to know</p>
<p>btw i used barrons to get a 5 on ap and 800 on sat ii so I know it worked for me. I took them both indep. and never used a "Real" textbook</p>
<p>Today, I took a practice WH exam and got a 670! Boo!</p>
<p>I haven't used Barrons, but I know that it is notorious for too much information. Instead, use Kaplan. I used it and got 5 & 800.</p>
<p>Barron's SAT II WH book has too much material; more bother than it's worth. The practice test it has asks you annoying little things that you'll never need to know on the test day.</p>
<p>would you suggest kaplan?</p>
<p>I took a world history class two years ago at my local U that wasn't very in depth, not the AP. Would you still suggest Kaplan? I read through all of the sample questions at the College Board's website. They're really, really easy. Reasonably well-informed people wouldn't even have to take a world history class to get them correct. Are the questions on the WH SAT II really like that?</p>
<p>Barrons is good, read it over twice and you'll do fine. However, their practice tests are not accurate- I took it and got a 720, and got an 800 on the real exam.</p>
<p>Would I have to memorize all the words in bold? (to get 750+) btw what's the scale? 800 = 83 correct, 12 wrong?</p>
<p>No, its more like 800 = 7 or 8 wrong- That books grade translation is flawed</p>
<p>Though the curve may be generous, one must still consider that the test is out of 95 questions. Also, this SAT II has the lowest average of all the SAT IIs.</p>
<p>how does the curve go down after that?</p>
<p>The crowd who takes the world history SAT II is a self-selected crowd, I'm assuming.</p>
