OFFICIAL SAT II World History Thread 12/4

<p>World History test usually fools a lot of people into taking it on a whim. The mean score for World History is 570 and compared with other tests, World History has the worst mean in that regard. With that said, it's possible to get lower than 570...but it's certainly not likely. You shouldn't worry about one SAT II test.</p>

<p>i really wanna break 600...i mean i have 3 other IIs but still i don't want a 500 something</p>

<p>average is 570, the rule of thumb is better colleges want to see 50 points higher than the avg. top colleges might want to see even better</p>

<p>that test reallllyy sucked.</p>

<p>so hard.</p>

<p>i like gave up</p>

<p>and was like...hmm this sounds ok! and then if there were 2 or 3 the same in a row and i didnt know i would be like hmm where does this look better</p>

<p>u think if i have 3 other good test scores colleges will seriously change their decision as a result of a bad 4th SAT II</p>

<p>if they do then its their problem. colleges shouldn't expect applicants to be perfect.</p>

<p>i dunno why everyone in this thread thought the test was so hard. barron's really prepped me well for it.</p>

<p>cuz it was hard...</p>

<p>the problem is that many "World History" courses are Eurocentric, and the SAT, to avoid accusations of being bigoted, goes overboard to make its exam as "World" as possible</p>

<p>ahh darn it.... 690 here
would colleges consider it as 700?
how'd u guys do?</p>

<p>lxkang, i did worse - 650. Though on practice tests I never scored above 620...</p>

<p>how do u find it? i couldnt get mine!!</p>

<p>still unable to see your score?</p>

<p>I have you all beat for lowest.....620 =(</p>

<p>UCaliGirl9, 30-50 points do not make a difference. We at least scored above the average for World History, if that is a comfort:) I expected a higher score, because I am good at history at school, but our education system (in Bulgaria) is a bit more different from the us one, so it turned out that the World History test did not have much in common with my high school tests. Anyway, I think I'll send my 650 to colleges, even though it is my lowest SAT II.</p>

<p>i got a 530
i win :)</p>
