US History: How should I spend my last half-week?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>So, I'm taking the SAT II: USH this Saturday. I was wondering how I should spend the rest of my time studying for it. I have been in a prep course, which is really more of a "take practice tests" class, taught by my AP Teacher. I was consistently a top student in AP United States History and I am aiming for above 700. The first practice test I took was, I believe, out of the official college board book. I scored a 670, but I wasn't surprised after about three weeks of no history. The second test I scored a 720, I believe out of the same book. The third test I took was out of PR, which I scored a 750 on.</p>

<p>I recently bought a Barron's book for the test, which I understand is ridiculously hard. I missed about thirty five on the ninety five section diagnostic. I have read from some other users that they missed anywhere from thirty to fourty on the diagnostic and still had 750+ scores. I am purchasing the SparkNotes book for the test tomorrow, so I plan to do those three practice tests. Should I completely dump Barron's? What is the best way to spend the rest of my time?</p>

<p>The best way to spend the last few days is to go online and read sparknotes and take all the practice tests. Without spending money that is. If you can find a copy of AMSCO, I’m sure you could the majority of it.</p>

<p>If you can get Crash Course, that would be a great source of review.</p>

<p>I scored a 670 on the real test with just Honors USH.</p>

<p>My highest on Sparknotes was a 610. And I only answered about 40-50 questions right on Barrons. </p>

<p>Just throwing some references and point correlations up there. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>You’ll be in great shape. Don’t worry.</p>
