<p>RETAKE? I have already received a score of 680 on the May sitting,
and a 5 on the APUSH, but i want sth better than that 680.
I'm already registered for the Oct. test date and know I can't get over
750+ but somewhere around 700-730s. ( I feel a bit unprepared, i haven't extensively stuided for it until now)</p>
<p>Will it be worth retaking?</p>
<p>Any advice/feedback is welcome.</p>
<p>bump..help plz =)</p>
<p>Well, READ everthing from every US Hist. book till the 14th and good luck.</p>
<p>I got a 5 on the AP test and a 680 on the SAT II too. :(</p>
<p>pastic-are u retaking?
oh and also, so yall think i should actually RETAKE or not?</p>
<p>No, I don't plan on retaking it because I've been swamped with work lately, and I don't think I will have enough time to actually sit down and study for it to improve my score. </p>
<p>Even though I love US History, I don't think I can do much better on the SAT II because I thought the SAT II was harder than the AP test. If you think that you can do significantly better with a little prep, you should retake it. Make sure you have time to study though because an extra 20-30 points probably wouldn't make a HUGE difference to the college admissions people...</p>
<p>My friend retook a 690 and got a 670 the second time. o_O;;</p>
<p>wow..i'm more shifted toward not taking it again given that
i have so much frikkin much to do..u think 680 to 710 is not that of a drastic
improvement (i.e. not worth retaking)?</p>
<p>I wouldn't. Colleges will see you took it again and only improved 30 points. They'll think you wasted your time and money for basically nothing.</p>
<p>Personally I would retake it if I were you.</p>
<p>thanks guys appreciate the goood feedback
anyone else who can help me out..? :(</p>
<p>Did you study for the SAT II last time you took it</p>
<p>haha i got a 4 on the AP test, and a 680 in May lol. SO many people are getting 680s</p>
<p>actually no i didnt..only a 2-month extensive AP prep but i thought the
two tests overlap so...</p>
<p>is getting a 5 on the ap history test easier than getting a 700+ on the sat ii history?</p>
<p>I got a 3 on APUSH and a 700</p>
<p>Are Sparknotes US History practice tests harder or easier than the real test?</p>
<p>Hey everyone: is the US His curve lenient ? How many questions can we omit (or answer incorrectly) if we want a 650-700? :)</p>
<p>About 17-20 I believe. I think taking a month after the AP test was the best way to go about it. I got 5 and then 760. You just have to had read (and retained) most of American Pagent.</p>
<p>mikenthemaddog66: Thanks for your prompt reply. Actually, I know I shouldn't expect much, since I'm an international student, never take a US His course before and even don't have any prep book. Just pore over Sparknotes online. Still, one day left before the test, do you recommend memorizing or reviewing anything speical ? ^.^</p>
<p>You can miss more than 17-20 for a 650-700. More like around 22-30</p>
