<p>Zoosermom,
DS1 took the World History SAT-II last spring (right after the AP exam). He used a couple of SAT-II and AP books – I looked through them and there is very little overlap between World and Euro. It would involve lots of extra studying, and World SAT II MC questions are pretty specific and not very Euro-centric. A general background would not be helpful. Physics has a nice curve – best among the SAT-II science exams – DS1 reviewed from an AP Physics book and did very well. </p>
<p>DS2 is not a math guy (62 Math in PSAT as a soph taking it cold, but tends to test very well with prep) – but he is taking Math Level II in June, at the end of pre-calc. Getting 85% of the questions right yields a <em>very</em> nice score. He’s likely a history/bio major, so the math isn’t critical, but it does show he’s not afraid of taking the test and going for a good score. We’re kind of kicking ourselves for not having DS2 take the Bio SAT-II last year after his pre-IB course. We didn’t know until it was too late how closely it aligned. DS2 is taking AP USH this year and will take the SAT-II in May. Expect him to hit that one out of the ballpark, as this is his thing.</p>
