**** OFFICIAL June SAT US History Thread ****

<p>@ivyhopes12‌ Alright perfect sounds good, thank you very much for your help :)</p>

<p>im planning on cramming two days before the test :slight_smile: turnt</p>

<p>Anyone know the predicted score I will get on the actual SAT II USH test if I got a 690 on the Barrons? I am aiming for a 770+ and I just finished reading the Barrons book cover to cover</p>

<p>@cso1640‌ There’s no set formula but Barrons is known for its difficulty so I’m sure you’re in the 770+ range.</p>

<p>@SATandAPs Thanks!</p>

<p>My son did the US History Subject practice test in the Blue Book today.
He just took the AP US History exam in May, and he said that the multiple choice questions for the Subject test were actually harder than the AP US History questions.
Did anybody feel the same way?</p>

<p>@StevenToCollege‌ From what I understand they are substantially more detailed, so that does make them more difficult unfortunately.</p>

<p>Any thoughts on Kaplan? I’ve just finished reading cover-to-cover and got a 660 on the diagnostic. I aim to reach 750 on the real thing, so is this possible?</p>

<p>Is there any real practice test online for this test? And also is it okay if I just study the REA book and AP books instead of an SAT II USH book? </p>

<p>I also took it in May but was unhappy with my score (690) considering I took APUSH and the main reason that I didn’t do well was that I hadn’t even studied (or learned) anything about the 1970’s and 1980’s. I’m hoping for 750+. </p>

<p>I just finished the 2006 college board official practice test and got 11 wrong and one omitted which leaves me at a 75.25 raw score which translates to a 770 according to the curve in the practice book. Has anyone else taken this practice test? Is the curve legitimate or is it far too generous? Also I had 15 minutes left over after the test, does anyone else have time left over after they finish? </p>

<p>What is the difference in content for APUSH and SAT USH? if any</p>

<p>^^seems that SAT USH covers the 70s and 80s more thoroughly than APUSH does, and also might contain stuff on early explorers to the Americas (pre-Columbus). Other than that, though, it seems pretty similar content-wise. </p>

<p>so i’ve taken three practice tests, two released from collegeboard. I got a 700 on the first one, which I took before studying, and then a 790 on the second one, after a couple days of studying. However, I just took a Princeton Review test, and i got a 650… does anyone know if the PR tests are much harder? Im not sure if i only did well on the second CB test because I’ve seen some of the questions before or if the PR is just a lot harder. </p>

<p>you can purchase the second released CB test here: <a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Official-Subject-Tests-World-History/dp/0874477697/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402011737&sr=8-1&keywords=collegeboard+us+history”>http://www.amazon.com/Official-Subject-Tests-World-History/dp/0874477697/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402011737&sr=8-1&keywords=collegeboard+us+history&lt;/a&gt;
the other one is the same as the one in the big blue book</p>

<p>@heldenleben PR is usually harder</p>

<p>do you have the pdf or some online version of any of the released tests? </p>

<p>I just finished reading REA’s Crash Course and was wondering if it would be worth it to read the sparknotes guide online or just stop and study for literature at this point? Any opinions?</p>

<p>would I be fine having gone through sparknotes info and the essentials book?</p>

<p>Anyone have the released tests online or the pdf file of them? </p>

<p>So if I studied from AP US History Sparknotes and REA All Access AP US History (it’s crash course with online quizzes) do you think I’m prepared enough? I took the AP this year though I found the multiple choice easier than expected. I’m aware the subject test seems more specific. The only reason I’m studying from AP books is because I bought Barrons and by the time I got annoyed with the book, it was too late. </p>

<p>What are some of the social stuff they ask? Is it like the AP where they bring up authors and ask why their books were important? </p>

<p>Where should we study the 70s and 80s? If Crash Course doesn’t adequately cover it</p>
