<p>Hi. I'm currently enrolled in AP US History, and I'm curious whether the SAT II US History test asks for military knowledge (such as major battles, names of generals, dates, weapon names such as the MIRV Rocket, etc.). Our AP US History teacher said the CollegeBoard does not test military history in the AP exams, and did not pay any attention to the major battles. However, I'm concerned that the SAT II US History test might test my knowledge of military history of the United States, which I'm not really confident in.
Also, I have a question whether the SAT II US History test really goes beyond the Reagan Era. My AP US History teacher stopped at Reaganomics, and we are currently reviewing the notes until President Reagan. He says he is 99.9% sure that the AP test will not have any questions after Reagan. Nevertheless, I'm not sure whether the SAT II US History test is the same. I wonder if the test requires knowledge of later presidents such as Clinton, Bush, and Obama.
Thanks, and good luck to everybody who's taking either AP or SAT II US History tests (and those of you who are taking both tests as well!)</p>
<p>None of the practice tests I’ve taken (about 8 now)… none had any questions on military. There were quite a few questions about conventions (Albany, Hartford, etc), and at least one per test about the whole religious crap in the 1700s - The Great - something. And then there seems to be at least one question on transcendentalism, too (Just think; man in the woods, Thoreau and spirituality/moral/crap, etc).</p>
<p>women and farmers too?
i have a feeling there will be at least 2 questions on female trends and at least one on farmer trends</p>
<p>You don’t need to know stuff like generals or weapons, but you need an understanding of the wars and their backgrounds (e.g. there was a question on American action taken during Vietnam).</p>
<p>You really could have typed all that in 2 sentences. No, you don’t need to know about Obama.</p>
<p>i think there might be questions on george senior</p>
