How Much Studying per day?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I am planning to take the subject tests in history and literature this coming June. Fortunately I am in an Am history part 1 AP course and also an English Lit AP course, but they will end in late May. So I decided to buy some prep books just to recap, and practice for the test. I am wondering how much studying per day do you think I should do? Right now I do about 30 mins per subject, plus plan to take 1 practice test per weekend.</p>

<p>about 4hrs a day would do the trick
anything less is a gamble</p>

<p>Ha ha! Funny…</p>

<p>Haven’t taken them yet, but I’m pretty much studying how you are. About half an hour a day per subject. It seems like a pretty good plan to me. I’m going to kick it up a notch as it gets closer to the test date though and take more practice tests.</p>

<p>Good idea… Studying for SAT II tests seems different from the SAT Reasoning test though because there is actual material to cover.</p>

<p>Studying for the SAT Reasoning was weird, because there was nothing you could really memorize or know. It was just practice with the format and such. I think studying for SATII is easier, just because there is actual information that you for sure need to know.</p>

<p>Exactly… Studying for the reasoning test for me included basically just taking practice tests and finding out what I did wrong.</p>

<p>I do think it seems hard to practice for the Lit test though, only because it seems to resemble the CR section, and therefore involves CR skills which aren’t exactly easy to study for and pin-point what you need to work on.</p>

<p>This sounds perfectly reasonable to me. When you study for the APUSH test you are clearly increasing your chances of doing well on the US History SAT II test; I think that your time outside of studying for the AP’s would be best spent taking the practice Lit tests. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>I agree with academician11.</p>
