<p>dammit i got 760 i was really expecting an 800 after acing the AP test</p>
<p>Sparknotes is somewhat tougher than the actual SAT II, I thought. But it prepared me well, at least 3 questions were similarly worded and I got a 760-mostly due to dumb mistakes and being overly confident :P</p>
<p>On a sidenote, I also used McGraw Hills Steps To A 5 for AP U.S. History. I think it’s highly underrated, but it prepared me well by giving me the highlights of U.S. History. I realize people say use Barron’s but it does no justice. It’s hard, strangely worded, and only tests obscure facts.</p>
<ol>
<li>I’m kinda disappointed although I haven’t taken US history for 2 years.</li>
</ol>
<p>720!!! yay!</p>
<p>720, not surprised. I’m definitely happy with my score though. Had a mediocre APUSH class (used American Pageant), crammed a lot for the AP exam with Princeton Review, and read through Crash Course for this exam. I probably could’ve studied more, but I’m happy overall. Anyway I’m pretty sure I’m not even going to submit SAT…</p>
<ol>
<li>I’m not too enthusiastic about it, but i’ll still accept it. I didn’t study too much, my fault. Oh and I took APUSH.
I used Sparknotes and AMSCO the night before. Sparknotes is where i got the free tests from–i didn’t buy a prep book. Anyway, I took a practice test and got 640-680. Sparknotes focused a lot on trends. The actual test had a lot of random questions. Like who picks the attorney general.</li>

<p>Wow, this thread is OLD.</p>
<p>barrons sucks. switch books now!</p>
<p>I got a 720. Pretty good, considering that I never got around to reviewing for it. Perhaps if I had read through Crash Course in the days before, I probably would have scored higher, like maybe a 750+.</p>
<p>Lol barrons makes me feel horrible about my abilities.</p>
<p>This thread is 4 years old. xD</p>
<p>But I got a 790, yay. :)</p>
<p>Haha old thread, realized that when I saw a post by Oasis.</p>
<p>I got an 800 though!</p>
<p>770!!</p>
<p>studied AMSCO for APUSH and carried that knowledge over, along with some Barron’s prep</p>
<p>haha I just got a 680. My best subject test score out of three. I was feeling pretty good about it…</p>
<p>680 (<—MUST BE A MISTAKE D8 )- Although I’m betting a 5 on the AP test</p>
<p>Ruined my 800 streak ):<</p>
<p>770 
(used REA crash course)</p>
<p>800, amsco prep for AP</p>
<p>nearly everyone here recommends AMSCO…but i live in China and i can’t find it anywhere…we only have princeton kaplan and barrons …frustrated…</p>
<p>So I got a 790, but USH was the test I felt most comfortable on, and my examination of the answers thread seemed to indicate that I was well into the 800 range, so I’m kind disappointed.</p>
<p>@Eiswein: You could try ordering AMSCO off of Amazon.com if you can’t find it in local bookstores.</p>
