<p>hey everyone.</p>
<p>i've been wondering, can you still get a score above 700 without having taken U.S. History AP? i'll be taking honors next year, but i wanted to take the subject testing.</p>
<p>when i looked at the other threads, i saw that everybody was in the AP class who took the subject testing. so if you guys can give me your input, that'll be great!</p>
<p>Of course you don't NEED to. It helps, but history is probably the easiest subject to study for anyhow.</p>
<p>i wish i would've taken AP us before taking the SAT II.</p>
<p>--->690 no prepbook, just the regular ol' textbook.</p>
<p>if i had something that would've covered more material (didn't cover modern art at all) and not so much missionary work (it was a christian textbook), i probably would've done a bit better on it. oh well</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>Don't so it. You need an AP level course to do well. I was in an Honors level course and did great in the course and poorly and the SAT II. I wish someone would have given me this advice before I took it.</p>
<p>I had an honors level course and got an 800 one year later. Just read REA the week before.</p>
<p>thanks for the input guys.
it's been very helpful. </p>
<p>supposedly my honors us history teacher is harder and MUCH better than the ap teacher. so i <em>think</em> i'm going to take it. but we'll see.</p>
<p>You should just take it but make sure you do some extra prepping. As for the modern art stuff, I didn't learn any of that in my AP class/work. The trivial questions are really the ones that prevent people from getting 700s.</p>
