Most important things to know for US History SAT II?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Hi CC! I'm in a weird situation right now, I have a big book on USH for my upcoming SAT II, but I can't get to everything. I have a good background in USH though, and I got a 4 on my AP Exam. Therefore, I think it would be sufficient if I "Spot check", or only go over the most important stuff. </p>

<p>Therefore I ask the question, what are the most important things I have to know for the SAT II? I have the Barrons USH SAT II book, so I am on presidencies right now. Which ones should I definitely go over? Are there any other major things I should know? Thanks!</p>

<p>Bump! Can someone PLEASE help me?</p>

<p>Do you have the Official US & World History SAT Subject Test Guide from College Board? If so, looking at the released tests will give you a great idea on the kind of things they test you on.</p>

<p>I also have Barrons. It is a pain in the a**, but in a good way. Advice if you have more than 4 months to study: read the stuff you find interesting first. I enjoyed reading about Nixon and Watergate more than for say, Henry Clay opposing Andrew Jackson’s veto of the renewal of the National Bank.</p>

<p>Nah, I have only 2 weeks…I take my SAT II December fourth. I will definitely take the advice of both of the posters in this thread, thanks!</p>

<p>All you need to do is complete some of the Spark Notes practice exams. They are much harder than the real thing. They let you know what you need to ‘spot check’…</p>

<p>I have the 4th test to and i am reading the sparknotes notes and taking notes and I got the CB practice book for all sat 2s …man i am going to drop dead.</p>

<p>Sparknotes exams/review is one of the most useful things ever. Use it.</p>

<p>I got a 510 on my first sparknotes test with no prep other than the ush course I took last year (which was not AP). After studying for about two weeks with sparknotes online study guide and princeton review ap book, I got a 710 on the real test.</p>

<p>I can’t tell you what to cover since I don’t know what your weak points are. For example, I struggled with pre columbian and colonial times and did well on the great depression- the cold war</p>
