<p>Hey guys, i'm going to be taking the SAT II in US History this saturday. I took a practice test today and did well. The one thing that killed me was authors. I got some major authors and books right, but there were some people I had never even heard of. My question is, is it even worth it to try and learn about authors with less than a week or should I just forget them and hope that there are few questions about authors? And if I should, is there a resource that could possibly list some major authors/ movements/ literature? I'm not too worried, but at the moment, that seems to be my only major weakness.</p>
<p>You should definitely try to study those authors. You could learn them all in a day if you wanted to, so a week is plenty of time. There aren't too many anyway.</p>
<p>The only major ones I can think of are the transcendentalists (Thoreau and Emerson), Horatio Alger (rags to riches), Mark Twain, Melville, and a few others. I don't know, maybe I should review authors too lol</p>
<p>We should make a compilation of authors...hmm you should know kerouac's On the Road, about the Beat Generation...Hemingway's Farewell to Arms maybe?</p>
<p>didnt want to start a completely new thread, but i've got a question about this test as well...</p>
<p>i've already taken math 2: 800 and chem: 780<br>
I want to take that 3rd sat2 for the schools that do require a 3rd one, but is it worth it if i think i'll in the low 600's maybe even high 500's for the USH sat2?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>plus, does anyone have a link to schools that require 3 satII's?</p>
<p>would jacob riis's "how the other half lives" be important? or <em>some guy's</em> "the octopus"? betty friedan's "feminine mystique"? man, some of these authors are coming back to me. (=</p>
<p>I didn't remember too many author questions. Just google something about it--then just read it. But, don't stress about it. </p>
<p>Riis' book showed people how the slums were. The Octopus..I have no idea. Really. Betty Friedan's book was the first major (and popular) book about feminism.</p>
<p>If you have more unanswered USH questions, I can help if you want! =]</p>
<p>haha...Kwanitee, are you using the REA book? Because I am, and I remember seeing all the authors you asked about. I'm not sure if their important of not though.</p>
