Should I take the World History SAT II?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I have taken a year of World Culture (sophomore) without honors or AP because my school didn't have those advance classes last year.
Right now (junior year), I'm taking a World History I class on a Penn State campus.</p>

<p>I'm thinking of taking World History for one of my SAT II in June since I'm in a college course for that... but I'm worried because I didn't take World History II though I did took a full course of World Culture..</p>

<p>Do you think it is okay or it is a good thing for me to take it (in June)?
What prep book(s) would you recommend for me to buy (besides my textbook because I will review it)?</p>

<p>Thanks!! :)</p>

<p>I took a world history honors course in 9th grade, and then decided to self-study AP World during sophomore year using my world history stuff (this is deceiving, since I basically just looked at some cram packets instead of actual ‘study’). </p>

<p>As long as you’re reading though, I think the June exam date is easily feasible. I would advise using any books you can get your hands on and taking any practice exam you can get. It’s not a practice based exam like Math I/II or Literature for say, but the style of questions are somewhat different from the more analytics of AP stuff. </p>

<p>Trust me though, as long as you have a decent general knowledge sense, the test should be fine, especially with like a -20 for 800 curve.</p>

<p>I got a 4 and 760 on the AP exam and SAT II, respectively (with minimum study). Trust me, it’s doable.</p>

<p>I think if you’re doing well in the Penn State class, you should give it a try. </p>

<p>I didn’t really study it aside from taking the 2 official practice tests the week before (I did take AP World though).

The practice tests might be easier than the real thing though. I finished the AP World multiple choice and the practice tests in less than 30 minutes, but on the real exam it took me a full hour to finish it.</p>
