US history SAT - doable?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Basically, I am just looking at what SAT subjects to study and I am thinking of doing US history but I have very, very basic knowledge of US history as I am international student. I'll be studying starting from now and I am a junior. So, is it doable to study the whole content with very, very basic knowledge of it and get a decent 650+ score on it? I will be hopefully studying it for only 5-6months but 1-2 hours a day. </p>

<p>PS, is it ok for me to use this</a> website instead of buying a book or shall I just buy a book? I prefer the website due to me liking typing my notes on the computer.</p>

<p>Just do Math2/Chem or Physics. Honestly.</p>

<p>I am already going to do maths and can’t really do Chem or Physics. Would it be very hard?</p>

Assuming you have a decent proficiency in the English language (which, from your post, seems evident), this should be more than sufficient. I would advise, however, that you get a prep book or textbook or some source on US History other than SparkNotes. You can still type notes.</p>

<p>Also, you may be interested in World History, though it is only offered two months out of the year.</p>

<p>If i read my history book and at the end of the 2nd semester take the US Subject Test, can I get a 700+ or should I buy another resource.</p>

<p>How many questions wrong typically is a 700-</p>

<ul>
<li>700 if you answered 72 right, 12 wrong, and left 11 blank</li>
</ul>

<p>There are many combinations of right/wrong/blank to get a 700, but this should basically tell you. There are about 90-95 questions, I believe it varies from test to test. </p>

<p>For the OP: you should DEFINITELY buy a book. The list of good prep books: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/358168-list-best-review-books-16.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/358168-list-best-review-books-16.html&lt;/a&gt; seems to praise Kaplan highly. I personally just studied using an AP prep book and REA’s Crash Course. Crash Course should be highly effective, especially if used to complement Kaplan. </p>

<p>Your plan of 1-2 hours for 5-6 months should definitely give you a good score. Not many people would actually stick to that… but if you do, I would probably see you getting a 700 to 750+. Of course, when you take practice tests you should be able to see what range you’re in, and it won’t be much of a guessing game then. </p>
