<p>Ok... I've been taking us history tests in the barrons book and have seriously been failing. I get so many wrong in that book!!! And the test is in almost a week!!</p>
<p>Can anyone give any tips on taking the us test? I'm reading AMSCO for the 2nd time now and taking a look at some cram packets. </p>
<p>Help would be appriciated</p>
<p>are you looking at the ones you got wrong?
remember to review those too.</p>
<p>i have the same problem as you man...im even thinking about not taking the us test</p>
<p>How bad are we talking about? like 45/95 correct? cause if thats what your getting your in great shape! I got a 45/95 on all of the barrons tests and on the real thing I received a 800. The barrons tests are ridiculously hard. SO don't worry.</p>
<p>Barron's questions are unbelievably hard. I got a 560 on their tests but got like a 750ish on college board's test and a 700ish on Kaplan's test (which is also quite hard)</p>
<p>After looking at the CB test in the US History CB book, it is quite basic. But I have heard from some people that those tests are slightly easier than the real ones. Not sure though... but Barron's is RIDICULOUSLY hard... I didn't even understand some of the questions, and I would consider myself a pretty good history student</p>
<p>so pretty much im freaking out too.
the last i looked at anything to do with us history was before ap and i want an 800 but would be fine with a 750+
what is the BEST thing i can do to edge myself into that area???
I have taken two practice tests so far (but that's it) and got a 710 on Kaplan's diagnostic and a 730 on PR's test
plz let me know</p>
<p>T.T no i do bad on kaplan (low 600s)...how does kaplan compare to the real test? cuz if im getting below like a 670 on the real test im probably not gonna take it</p>
<p>Listen, just read amsco on the parts you don't know, and you will be fine. Trust me, that what I did and it worked (800).</p>
<p>well. if Barron's is so hard as to stoop down to a 45/95, then I'll be in good shape I guess. </p>
<p>I took sparknotes and got like a 780, and then took barrons and got 37 wrong. I was like DANG, thinking I suck at history. But, if Barrons is as hard as people say it is, then hopefully it'll be ok.</p>
<p>bump!!!! 10char</p>
<p>What else do you want to know?</p>
<p>Barron's test are wayyyy harder than the actual thing. I scored like a 610 in barrons, but a 730 on the actual test.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>Ok. Question. Besides Barrons testing random stuff, I heard CB actually tests random facts as well. Is this necessarily true?</p>
<p>Also, how does Kaplan correspond to real tests? Just curious. =)</p>
<p>i also would like to know how Kaplan corresponds to real tests...
plz answer someone</p>
<p>I couldn't get AMSCO, so I'm reading both SAT 2 for Dummies and REA. I hope it's enough for that 800.</p>
<p>how is kaplan for review
ive heard mixed things for kaplan</p>
