<p>Took my first practice test out of my US History SATII Sparknotes book, and got a 670. For those of you who used the book and have taken the SATII already, how did your actual score compare to your scores from the practice book. List them if you can. How was the actual test different from the sparknotes ones?</p>
<p>The test is pretty similar to sparknotes, and in fact, sparknotes is a great way to prep. I was getting low 600's on sparknotes tests, but after studying some, I was getting upper 600's to low 700's on the practice tests. I did a little more reviewing, and on the real test I got a 770. Know trends in history, that is most important. If you know the general facts about each decade, and the attitude of the people and officials, it is easy to eliminate answers.</p>
