<p>I need to decide between the two of these which test to take. I'm already going to take the Physics and Math II, but I need to have another one. I'll be testing in November (I'm a rising senior). It's really a toss up as to which subject I'm better at, though I haven't taken US history since freshman year. I feel like it would be easier to study for, though, than the literature. I'm hoping to be an international relations major; so history might be a better choice. (I would take the World History course, but I'm in a pre-pro ballet program that requires Saturday rehearsal and class. I got permission to take off two Saturdays--one for SAT II's, one for ACT--but I cannot take off the December test date.) So my two best options are us history and lit.
Suggestions? Which did you find easier to take/easier to prepare for? And what practice books would you suggest? </p>
<p>History is content based while lit is not. I took the USH test in may and scored decently (not wonderfully) but after a year of APUSH and heavy studying. I could not have succeeded on the USH SAT II without having the knowledge from my class under my belt; therefore, I think literature is your best bet. 2 years since taking a USH class is a very long time and I don’t know if self studying/relying on old knowledge would carry you through.</p>
