<p>I would say it’s the most difficult to get an 800 on after Math Level 1, Literature and Ecological Biology based on the percentiles that College Board released for 2010 College-Bound Seniors. An 800 was in the 98th percentile. Here’s the link if you’re interested: <a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/2010-sat-subject-test-percentile-ranks.pdf[/url]”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/2010-sat-subject-test-percentile-ranks.pdf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>O Wow, it’s that tough? Any of you that got an 800, willing to share your story and how you did it?</p>

23

<p>wow.
i should’ve taken SAT World History if I knew US history was gonna be 23423 times harder.
■■■.</p>

<p>anyways, i heard u get miss like 8 and still get a 800…but i took the SAT II us history in may, and it was easier than the Ap exam.
i just used the princeton review book for the ap exam and took the sat ii</p>

<p>there’s a lot more detail on each president and authors/writers, stuff liek that…</p>

24

<p>O kk thanks, any more thoughts?</p>

25

<p>Is the PR tests for SAT2US accurate? I got a 690 without any AP or honors (or even studying, yet)</p>

26

<p>I’m not sure, does anyone know?</p>

27

<p>Any more thoughts?</p>

28

<p>Hey guys who are advertising Direct Hits, do you know if the REA Crashcourse book (written by the same man) good enough? I have that one already.</p>

29

<p>Yeah, I have the Crash Course one and I used it for the AP test and I loved it. However, i’m not sure if it completely covers everything. DH has everything in Crash Course and more.</p>

30

<p>If you have any others questions, feel free to ask.</p>

31

<p>@Diagnostician Would you say that reading DH US History in a Flash could substitute reading AMSCO? For the SAT II.</p>

32

<p>^ Yeah, DH definitely overcompensates for AMSCO. Read them both if you’ve got time, but that’s super overkill. DH suffices.</p>

33

<p>I just got my DH book in the mail today! Would you say that the DH book properly prepares you for the MC of the SAT Subject test? I took APUSH in May, but I heard that the SAT questions are way more specific. Gah, I don’t really want to reread AMSCO…</p>

34

<p>Don’t read AMSCO, it’s so long imo. I am just reading DH and then I might skim over Crash Course. After reading DH take some practice tests and look up the stuff you go wrong. Doing that should help you procure a 750+</p>

35

<p>just wanted to bump this up…anyone ever looked at petersons tests? I took one today and it was very different than the sparknotes ones, and a LOT harder.</p>
