<p>One more thought: The U.S. History SAT Subject Test is remarkably similar to the multiple choice section of the AP U.S. History test. So any student who takes AP U.S. History prior to 12th grade might want to seriously consider taking the U.S. History SAT Subject Test at the end of the course. I know several students who got excellent scores (where excellent is defined as 750 or higher) on this SAT II without doing any additional studying beyond what they were already doing to prepare for the AP test.</p>
