Preparing for SAT II & AP World History?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>My top choice university focuses on test scores rather than GPA & I'm planning to major in history, so I've decided to take the SAT II World History subject test in June & the AP exam in May.</p>

<p>I'm not particularly worried about either test, but I'm not sure which book I should buy to prepare. From the reviews I've read, Barron is very good & thorough, but notorious for having too much information. I've heard Kaplan is good as well, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.</p>

<p>Anyone who's taken either or both tests in the past, could you please recommend a prep book & your general experience with the tests? Thank you.</p>

<p>Also, I am not taking World History in school this year. I'm preparing for the tests on my own.</p>

<p>The Official SAT Subject Tests in U. S. and World History Study Guide is a must. The guide, which is put out by the College Board, contains two released exams as well as explanatory answers.

<p>I also recommend Barron’s AP book since you will be taking both the AP and the SAT Exam.</p>

<p>Barrons World Hist SAT - gets the job done, take good notes.</p>

<p>I used Barron’s AP World History book and got a 800. Just solve the multiple-choice over and over again, that’s my advice!</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
