<p>Do any of you guys have any advice on scoring better on this test. I've been taking practice tests and it doesn't seem I can break the 750~760 score and the test is next Saturday (June 4th). Are the practice tests on Kaplan and Princeton Review supposed to be harder?</p>
<p>Moving this up...</p>
<p>Princeton Review for me was too easy. Kaplan was too hard.</p>
<p>Are the practice tests on the Princeton Review and Kaplan books easier or harder than the real world history test?</p>
<p>Kaplan had the weirdest questions, and it's review wasnt as good as barron's. I read kaplan once, took its practice test, got a 650 on that. I read kaplan again, took the real SAT II (not the real tests book, actually took in a test center) and got a 720. If you used solely kaplan you can expect 700-750.</p>
<p>I'm preparing with the Kaplan and the Princeton Review books and the funny thing is that when I took the Kaplan diagnostic test and the Princeton Review test before reading the Kaplan's review I scored around 750~760s on the two tests but after reading about half of Kaplan's review I took the 2nd practice test and got a 690..I mean what is up with that? Isn't reading the history review supposed to help? Anyways I have the Real SAT II: Subject Tests, can I expect higher scores from that or am I doomed to average 730 or something?</p>
<p>I always scored in the 750's on PR or Kaplan pratice tests and got a 780 on the real thing. However I did not do much prep, other than reading answer explanations, from either book. Most of my prep was in class Jeopardy (yes really), and practice tests before the AP.</p>
<p>which of the following did the classical political economists of the early nineteenth century consider to be the most legitimate function of goverment?</p>
<p>1.the enactment of social legislation
2. the protection of home industries
3. Empire building
4. the regulation of business
5 the protection of private property</p>

"One opinion pervades the whole company. that they are on the eve of some great revolution in the government. Everything points to it: the confusion in the finances great.with a deficit impossible to provide for without the statesgeneral of the kingdom.yet no ideas formed of what would be the consequence of their meeting: a prince on the throne,with excellent dispositions,but without the resources of a mind that could govern in such a moment without ministers:a court buried in pleasure and dissipation: a great ferment among all ranks of men."
the passage above was probably written by a contemporary in
1.1687
2.1787
3.1847
4. 1870
5. 1917</p>
<p>I say protection of property and 1787 (French Revolution?). I haven't taken Euro yet, these are just my guesses. It could also by 1870 (Either Germany or Italy, I can't remember which was when).</p>
<p>What score would you need to get on this test in order to be in the 90s percentiles?</p>
<p>I think a 730, 740. I got a 720, 88th percentile.</p>
<p>Would taking the World History test from Real SAT II: Subject Tests and reviewing all the questions that I got both correct and incorrect help for the actual exam? Would TCB actually use old questions but in different format?</p>
<p>Oh ya and what's a good score on the World History test for admissions to first tier universities.</p>
<p>PS: Please answer the previous question also</p>
<p>My son seems to hover around 770-780 on practice tests. Ending up with a score like that would be terrific, but an 800 (which seems so tantalizingly within reach) would be even better! Any thoughts about how to get past the plateau he seems to have reached on the practice tests when he takes the real deal next weekend?</p>
<p>The truth is on a test like this that you can't "expect" an 800 because just be default every test taker will accidentally miss some questions. Be happy, rather than disappointed with the 780 and treat the 800 as nothing more than a pleasent surprize.</p>
