<p>Hi. I am a junior currently, and I am preparing for SAT2 USH right now.
Do you think it's little bit late for self-stufying APUSH?(along w/ SAT2)
My school doen't provide APUSH, but just regular class.
Dose the leve of SAT2 and AP USH really different?</p>
<p>I really need some advices.
Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I think SAT 2 is easier, because it doesn't have free response questions. I took the AP test last year and got a 5.</p>
<p>I don't think it's too late to study for APUSH. Get a good review book and read it through a couple times. I know other people recommend the AMSCO book, but I preferred Kaplan... and it worked!!! I did take the AP class in school, but I didn't have a great teacher.</p>
<p>def. not too late.
if you're in the regular class you will learn almost everything you need to know...just not dbqs.
i was in regular WORLD history, the weekend before the AP exam i read an entire barrons review book, and i got a 4. my essays were shyt, i knew nothing of the mongols and had to write an essay on them.</p>
<p>idk why but i thought the mc on the satII US history was harder than the AP. more nitpicky details i guess. i took the AP exam on a thursday and then the SATII that saturday. (timing worked out really well)</p>
<p>Get the AMSCO Book, it's the best! (Read all the user reviews on it...they speak for themselves)</p>
<p>If you use this book religiously you'll be pretty much guaranteed a 5 on the AP exam</p>
<p>SAT II tests little, minute details. APUSH tests your ability to understand and analyze broad historical patterns, while knowing the facts at a high level, but not as detailed as the SAT II. Maybe I'm just saying this because 2/3 right on the AP multiple-choice is a perfect score, with the essays being of similar quality, while 2/3 right on the SAT II would only be like a 600 or so.</p>
<p>ditto on what bartleby said about sat iis testing minute stuff...o/c, i'm a little angsty about my grade on that, so that's probly biased...last year i took apush on a friday and u.s. sat ii the following day...was a bit sick of it...self-study is good though b/c most classes don't get past the 80s, and that's definitely tested on both...apush is more trends/analysis, sat ii is more dates/places/events... just make sure you're used to the format of essay writing...like the additional document stuff...that's really the only thing that an apush class can give you.</p>
