Books for World History

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm going to take the SAT World History test on December. I have a good deal of general knowledge about the topic and I really like History but I'm no expert. I have taken some courses in high school so I do have some background on the subject. I would like to prepare thoroughly for the exam and I've heard that the Barron's book is good but it doesn't covers everything that comes in the exam. What other book should I use to ensure that I cover everything?</p>

<p>Also, I'm confused regarding the Barron's book. When people say that Barron's is a good book for the World History SAT, are they referring to the AP World History book or the SAT World History book? I have the impression that the AP book is considered best for the SAT than the actual SAT targeted book but I might be confused.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m taking the World History SAT II, as well. The Princeton Review’s AP World History book is great…intersting, and without much superfluous material. I read it cover to cover the week before my AP and got a 5, and from what I’ve heard the SAT II is MUCH easier.</p>
