Sparknotes--US HISTORY?

<p>Does anyone know how accurate the online SPARK Note US History tests are? I know the Math II is a little harder than the real one. Just curious, thanks!</p>

<p>its harder.</p>

<p>it really depends on each test, not every sparknotes (or any other brand, for that matter) is going to harder or easier than the actual test everytime.<br>
Generally, the questions on the real test are much more clear than the ones in practice test books.</p>

<p>well, I am speaking from experience. I got a 800 on real test, and 730 on sparknotes.</p>

<p>I got around a 630 on the Sparknotes US History tests, but I got a 760 on the real exam back in January...</p>

<p>okay, thanks everyone. can anyone suggest a certain book they used?</p>

<p>how is the sparknotes online review for US history???</p>

<p>QUESTION:
How many can you get wrong and still get an 800 on the SAT 2 U.S. History?
I have been getting 4-8 wrong... Is that an 800??</p>

<p>Pretty sure 4-8 is 800.
I think around -9 is 800</p>

<p>what book have you been using where you are getting 4-8 wrong? is it just me or are the sparknote questions not very good. i don't feel the answer choices are the best. here is an example:</p>

<pre><code>“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves.”

These words from 1864 best describe which of the following political agendas?
(A) a war relief program to help Civil War veterans and their loved ones
(B) a moderate Republican plan, known as the Ten Percent Plan, to ease Reconstruction and reunite the nation
(C) a religious plan to unite the nation through faith in God
(D) a Southern appeasement plan, drafted by Southern Congressmen, to help rehabilitate the South without military supervision or Northern intervention
(E) the aims of the Radical Republicans to reunite the nation through a long and punishing reform of the South

<p>The answer is B, which I know, but the thing is that if you're just using the context of the quote it would seem like it could be A also.</p>

<p>Ehh.... you just have to know that it's a widely quoted... quote... that supports B. Just practice and keep memorizing whatever you see. </p>

<p>Oh yeah, I don't think there was a such thing as A, so B would have to be the answer.</p>

<p>how do u access the sparknotes test? do u have to pay anything?</p>

<p>mallika - that's a quote by Lincoln during his Reconstruction plan, I knew it w/out the answer choices. Just sayin' - some of those answers just come from lots and lots of reading.</p>
