<p>The freud and kritezhe question was A) different thougts in humans.</p>
<p>Freud is a psychoanalysts but he was not the first to use the scientific method in his work, which is what u have on u're board, and Kriteznhe was an exestentialist, not a psychologist.</p>
<p>I would know: I took AP psychology.</p>
<p>haha i put utopia or some crap like that for that one lol</p>
<p>crap now i have 14 wrong....
i should soo retake</p>
<p>no...your fine chickenboi, I have around there, don't worry, u can still miss about 8 more and get a 700.
We're still fine (I hope).</p>
<p>I knew he was an existentialist, but i couldn't find the answer to match both of them. I don't know if I picked the right answer... def. a retake on this.</p>
<p>but theres the 35 left!!!!
and i doubt i missed less than 8 on those
man i was hoping for 750+</p>
<p>and I walked out feeling so good...</p>
<p>it was irrational thought, because freud believed in decomposing dreams, and he was a psychologist.
Exesentialists believe that life isn't worth living, or something like that, which is irrational thought, and it couldn't be C) because neither created the scientific method.</p>

As far as best book to study from, in my opinion, they are:
Princeton Review: AP World History
Barron's: SAT II World History
Princeton Review: SAT II World History
Barron's: AP World History
Kaplans: SAT II World History</p>
<p>Note that the AP World History texts are thicker, meaning more detailed, and have more practice tests of harder questions. Ever since the SAT 2 integrated society into their test, AP World texts have been compatible.</p>
<p>Barron's is by far the text with the hardest tests. They provide minimal information in a nice organizational structure. Good for people who've taken AP World History and just want to damn SAT 2 done and over with.</p>
<p>Princeton is for those who forgot everything or have never taken any World History test. It has decently hard tests, but that is not the PR's greatest asset. The greatest asset is the presence of comphrensive answer explanations that show you how the question was tackled and why each answer was wrong. Also, the text is the longest of the three, meaning more detail. The information is also provided in laymen's terms which might annoy smarter people but can be very helpful to errr... morons.

<p>Are you recommending the PR AP World History book or the SATII one?
PR has USH and World History combined for the SATII book and its pretty thin so not sure if your talking about this one or the AP?</p>
<p>the AP PR book would MOST CERTAINLY give more information, and therefore a better prep for the SAT SUBJ test for World History. However, if you took a practice test last Friday for the first time and realized you were in major crap, the PR SAT World/US book would be for you. The 50 or so pages on World History give much essential information and trends with connections of time in History which will help you throughout the test. But get the other book and start earlier.</p>

<p>The African Migration questions i think from 500-1000 c.e.?
Bantu or Berber?</p>
<p>The similarity between Peter the Great and Gorbachev?
Can someone remember the answer choices in this question?</p>
<p>Napoleon's greatest civil achievement?
something like a unified law (Civil Code) right?</p>
<p>this was also posted in the compilation thread</p>
<p>Definitely Bantu.</p>
<p>I think it was the reforms/westernization one...</p>
<p>Napoleonic Code.</p>
<p>Is it just me or were the questions on the test quite a bit harder than those on the Kaplan practice tests? </p>
<p>I whizzed through the Kaplan tests in about half an hour, and only made about 5 mistakes...but the questions on this test seemed more complicated than those on the Kaplan...</p>
<p>Oh, well, I have a small book of PR WH only. Didn't know they came in hybrids.</p>
<p>Then again, this one's pretty old.</p>
<p>The AP books have same material but more detail, use them over the SAT books; I only get the SAT Model Test books for some practice.</p>
<p>Usually you want to finish reviewing history the week before you actually take the test. Practice by taking one model test per day up until Friday. Be sure to start early so you don't have to cram, it just adds stress.</p>
<p>But seriously, the best book imo is barrons no doubt
this book had EVERYTHING (well maybe with 3-4 exceptions) that was on the test
so memorize barrons for 800</p>
<p>Barron's has hard Model Tests which are very good for practice but has three flaws:
1) Bad/confusing organization. I browsed through it, they go by distinct time period, which is very confusing if you're bad with dates. I ended up borrowing my friend's, which she didn't use at all.
2) User un-friendly. It's the most scholarly of texts. Kaplan is pretty straightforward while PR is written "for Dummies." I like PR because sometimes their explanations are just so corny (Joe Bloggs for example), you can't help but remember them.
3) Minimalism. They offer the least amount of information of the three (smallest book, with alot of pictures and spacing). Fortunately, it's all the most essential information so you won't go too wrong, but you'll miss the very obscure questions. </p>
<p>Also, they don't do comparisons or answer explanations, unlike PR.</p>
<p>We can all agree Kaplans sucks.</p>
<p>Bottomline: PR AP BECAUSE OF ANSWER EXPLANATIONS! ANSWER EXPLANATIONS! ANSWER EXPLANATIONS! ANSWER EXPLANATIONS! ANSWER EXPLANATIONS!</p>
<p>PR AP is good for AP, not SAT II
PR gives the broad picture, which is good for AP, not for SAT II
I wouldn't have been able to answer the lister/pasteur question, nor the freud question, kush question, etc...
yes, the barrons is confusing and somtimes ***, but if you have enough time, barron's will own
my other complaint is that in the chapter review and the final practice tests, they frequently have questions that has the choice E.) All of the above. Whenever this choice appears, without failure, the answer is E, all of the above, which can be pretty annoying</p>
<p>Oh yeah... what was the Peter the Great / Gorbachev one? I remember something about socialism being one of the answers, but can't remember what the one I put was...</p>
<p>By the way, the curve (according to the Real SATs book) for world history is very generous...</p>
<p>95 to 80 = 800
79 = 790
78 & 77 = 780
76 = 770
75 & 74 = 760
73 = 750
72 & 71 = 740
70 & 69 = 730
68 & 67 = 720
66 = 710
65 & 64 = 700
63 & 62 = 690
61 & 60 = 680
59 & 58 = 670
57 & 56 = 660
55 = 650</p>

<p>...So I think that we can manage fairly good scores despite making a bunch of errors ^.^</p>
<p>Oh yeah!</p>
<p>Gorbachev and Peter the Great both stressed a need to adapt to the West. Gorbachev got very unpopular for this while Peter got ridiculed for shaving peoples' beards.</p>
