Official SAT II *US HISTORY* October Discussion

<p>do you guys think that the sparknotes tests are accurate?</p>

<p>^ I heard that they're harder than the actual test. They say you can add 110 on the score they give you.</p>

<p>About the October test...
I ran out of time and skipped 5 at the end. I thought my life was over.</p>

<p>thanks sofiac. hopefully that is true, because i just took a test from there and got 690, haha. adding 110 points would be great.</p>

<p>has anyone else taken sparknotes tests?</p>

<p>the sparknote was easier than the real sat....in my opinion</p>

<p>That's my opinion as well.</p>

<p>did you get your score back already? was it a lot different from the sparknotes score?</p>

<p>No...we're just guessing haha. Scores don't come out until the 25th.</p>

<p>oh okay. i thought you might have taken the test earlier than october. how do you think the test went for you? ive heard that there is always a lot of random questions on it.</p>

<p>There were! I'm not sure I did well at all...I definitely skipped 7 questions and got at least another 7 wrong haha. I'm aiming for 700+ on this test. The curve's supposed to be really generous though =&lt;/p>

<p>yeah, how many can you miss and still get 800? do you know?</p>

<p>I'd also be interested in hearing the average/usual curve for the US history SATs.</p>

<p>I believe you can skip 18 for a 750. That's all I know...</p>

<p>Google "U.S. History SAT II Sparknotes" for the curve.</p>

<p>Wow, not bad.</p>

<p>are the random questions mostly related to art? like literature and stuff like that?</p>

<p>yeah they ask you about random authors and painters and movements. sometimes speeches too, but this may not be so random for you if you live in the states. for a canadian (me) it was just like 'um. i dont really care if abraham lincoln said this at gettysberg or at his second inaugural speech. now really.' hah.</p>
