<p>I felt really good about this one, but I just checked the three answers I wasn't sure of, and 2/3 were wrong. Worst part is, I had the right answer for all three, then went back and changed all of them, but only changed one back. Still, I think I did better than the official practice test I took, which I got a 750 on, so I'm hopeful.</p>
<p>How did everyone else do?</p>
<p>I made a fail move. I did not notice that I had not yet finished when I went back to check my work. Fortunately I was able to do most of the questions I forgot about (I think I had to skip two of them).</p>
<p>My problem was that I finished too quickly. I should have closed my book and put my head down. Instead, I go back, change answers, and get those two wrong. I don’t think I had many more wrong, but those two wrong, instead of right, worst case scenario, could lower my score by 30 points. 0, 10, or 20 would also be possible.</p>
<p>Can’t you miss like ten questions and still get an 800 though? I’m sure you’ll do fine.</p>
<p>I omitted about 5 or 6, guess on another 3 or 4, and probably missed about 7 or 8 that I was 50/50 on. I’m expecting a 720-760 based on what my practice book says.</p>
<p>Really wish I spent more than two days on 1800-present.</p>
<p>According to a CollegeBoard table for a previously administered test, a raw score of 79 can yield an 800. So, by answering all of them, one can get 9 wrong and get an 800. On that practice test, I got a 750 (73), and feel that I did considerably better on the actual one, but I don’t know how much. Getting my scores back will be a relief.</p>
<p>I feel like I should have prepared more than just that one practice test taken in parts (mostly in the car) yesterday. I at least should have gone over answer explanations, because of commonalities in questions.</p>
<p>Yeah I know. I’m in APUSH right now and we are only at the Jacksonian era. I got all the questions up to that right for sure, but the rest of our history I was left to learn on my own, in three days.</p>
<p>Needless to say there were a few gaps in my knowledge-base. I still feel pretty confident though, as there were only a few that I had absolutely no clue on.</p>
<p>Was it just me, or were there more obscure questions on this test in comparison to past US subject tests?</p>
<p>I felt the opposite, judging from the previous one that I took as a practice test, but maybe it’s because I knew more of the random facts.</p>
<p>I’ve never taken a US History SATII before, but I agree with you that there were some quite obscure questions, burrito.</p>
<p>I suppose the length and the obscure questions contribute to the generous curve.</p>
<p>Probably. Oh well, I love history, so length doesn’t bother me and obscure questions are somewhat less likely to be obscure. Works for me.</p>
<p>Also, I’m pretty sure a lot of people take the test, so the group is less self-selecting (lower average score than Korean, Chinese, Math II, etc).</p>
<p>Same here. I’m looking forward to World History in December. Unfortunately, I’m retaking the regular SAT in November, and that’s so mind-numbingly boring.</p>
<p>If I get two Ivy-quality scores (I’m thinking 700-720+, which I’m pretty sure I’ll get for U.S. History) then I’m done with standardized testing. Period.</p>
<p>Oh bliss.</p>
<p>What do you guys think the curve will be for this test?</p>
<p>No idea, haha. Probably similar to past ones.</p>
<p>Kinda okay, better than the practice tests… I guessed on a few (3/4), and maybe got 5-7 wrong, hopefully 750+</p>
<p>are we allowed to discuss answers here??</p>
<p>i guess it doesnt really matter haha there are enough discussions about mathII. I had hard time with the questions that were very specific to some act or like the one revolt that wasn’t by African americans or slaves, cant seem to remember haha but i thought this wasnt too bad but i completely got killed on math II 
left wayyyyyy too many blank</p>
<p>I think that was Pontiac’s Rebellion. (Native American)</p>
<p>The benefits of border states during the civil war were their strategic locations and resources?</p>
