<p>Im going to take it this June, and im studying slowly, Im only on the Roman Empire now. </p>
<p>But my question is, what types of questions do they ask? </p>
<p>Do they ask specific things about one place?
General things about one civilization?
Specific things comparing different civilizations?
General things comparing different civilizations?
What are some sample questions? </p>
<p>I just want to know what the hell i gotta do to get an 800</p>
<p>I took the SAT II world history last June and scored a 730 without really studying, but then again I adore history. I am retaking it again in June because I know I can score an 800 with a little more studying. Anway, yes they do ask specific questions on specific civilizations etc. Also, the test does not mainly focus on Europe. I forgot what the breakdown is but its on the collegeboard website. Definitely know Asia and Africa. I also recommend that you buy the guides put out by collegeboard, I think its like U.S. and World combined. As far as prepbooks, I recommend Barrons, it will almost overprepare you but its still really good. Also, don't worry if you aren't doing to well on the pratice tests because I often found the pratice tests to be harder than the actual exam. I would also recommend that you speed up your studying. Hope I helped :)</p>
<p>If the questions from now and 2005 are about the same level, ill get an 800 for sure. I really like the pace im studying at, but, its too much for me. Im learning a whole lot, but im spending like an hour or two a day. I dont wanna do that. Im stressing myself out, and id rather do better on my other AP. </p>
<p>I think im going to take the test in december. That way, i can go at a slower pace than im at now, and really learn the information. Its all very useful, and very interesting. That way, i can focus more on getting a 4.0 this quarter, starting my web design company, photography, and my AP. During the summer Ill really hit the sat, sat II, and my other Aps... i think it makes more sense. </p>
<p>I think if i take it in december, ill definitely get an 800</p>
<p>But, will it look better if i take it as a sophmore???</p>
<p>Also, if you retake it... will it nullify the previous test score or no? Are you just trying to prove to colleges you know your world history?</p>
<p>Also, because you have already taken the test... do they do a lot of comparing? Do they say like, what made the roman republic last longer than blah? or Which one of these is not blah? civ A civ B civ C civ D civ E</p>
<p>I doesn't matter when you take it. Most colleges if you retake a test they will take the higher score, its only bad if you like take it 3x. Lets say I was having a really bad day and scored a 630 or so, I retake the test and get an 800, therefore, the colleges know that the 630 was not what I am capable of. They often do compare civilizations in regards to time periods. I also recommend that you study maps, because the map questions at least for me were difficult because they were often very vague. I recommend that you take the test in December.</p>
<p>Yeah... i rather take it once and get an 800, and completely know what im doing on the test. Thanks</p>
