@mdorbust No, but it makes the most sense.
Do you know more of the question? I know what you’re talking about but I can’t remember it clearly.
@Chrysanthemum14 the question included a short passage detailing why American Indians should be granted US citizenship. It went something like this: “after fighting and sacrificing for the freedom of the United States and the world, they should be afforded the same rights blah blah blah”. The actual question was, this argument for citizenship was most similar in which of the following groups: African Americans, Chinese, Mexicans etc.
I put African-Americans, without their economic contributions the United States would not be what it is today… Chinese and Mexicans did not put forth a similar degree of sacrifice… At the same time Mexicans is a possible answer because land being taken
@aurthur I put Mexicans for that reason.
African American @blu5959 Because it directly analogizes the plight of African Americans in the Civil War or World Wars. They fought alongside the whites, and so many felt that they should be granted citizenship, and that segregation should be lessened for their contributions as Americans.
@blu5959
Yes, I put Afro-American for that. I related it to how white settlers would probably be nothing with the slavery system.
alright dope.i put african americans as well
scores come out tomorrow
690 
thought I did so much better, curve must have been tougher
Is this worth sending?
650 X( I was pretty sure I scored 750+… lol. back to the books I guess.
@tmcl24 that’s pretty good…I might send, depending on the schools I’m applying to.

After taking the test and realizing I got a satisfying score, I realized the study methods that worked for me and hope someone can learn from my experience. I believe taking an APUSH or equivalent class is essential to getting a good score. With that said, you don’t have to take the test immediately after APUSH in the same year, as I took the test in November after finishing with APUSH in June. I read Kaplan over the summer, mainly in August, and then read Barron’s in the week and a half leading up to the test, which I’ll admit was overly difficult and did not fit the rigor of the test. I will deviate from the trend by stating that Barron’s is NOT the best resource to use. Don’t be fooled by how comprehensive and challenging it is, the content is too specific and little of its small details it covers in great depth actually show up. I recommend the following:
- Take an AP or honors US History course
- Use either the College Board book for all subject tests or the College Board book for history subject tests to see which areas you need improvement in
- Read either Kaplan, McGraw Hill, or AMSCO completely, or in the areas of weakness if time is limited
While my experience may be different, I would call it a bit overkill to read multiple prep books and take all practice tests you get your hands on. Be aware of your strengths, and don’t cut yourself short when it comes to your knowledge. Contact me with any questions or concerns you have about the US History subject test. Good luck!
700 … thought i got an 800 but I got a 5 on APUSH Last year anyways so whatever 700 is good enough
@picknroll222 out of all of those books that you recommended, which one do you think helped you the best? I’ll be retesting…I took a regular US history course two years ago and studied with sparknotes and kaplan and got a score I’m not happy with…
I got a 720. Suprised since I definitely did not get more than 5 to 6 wrong. I thought this curve was generous?
I got a 710, is this worth sending at all for liberal arts schools such as Vassar or Wesleyan that does not require SAT subject tests as I am submitting my Act scores instead of SAT. (also got a 4 on the APUSH exam if that makes a difference)
I’m retaking. Someone please tell me what I need to do to get a 750+
