US History SAT II

<p>I now plan on taking it in October. I just finished my APUSH class and think i got a 5 on the AP exam. would taking the SAT II 5 months after i finished the class mean i will have forgotten too much US history to get a 750 or so score on the test?? or would reviewing the material refresh my memory enough to where i can get a satisfactory score?</p>

<p>You should still be alright in terms of time. Just make sure you review inbetween now and then. I'm taking the SAT 2 next week after having had the class a whole year ago (I too got a 5 on the AP exam). Unfortunatley the practice test left me a startling surprise after a year (57/80) although it was Barrons, yuk!</p>

<p>does anyone have a success story of how he got a good score despite there being a lot of time between the class and the SAT II??</p>

<p>Read the entire AMSCO and you'll be fine. It refresh and refire the neurons in your brain. You'll be surprised how much you remember.</p>

<p>If you want to gage where you are, go take a practice test on the collegeboard site and see what you get on it. That will help you the most by telling you where you're at.</p>

<p>I think how much you'll remember depends a lot on you as a person. I definitely think that with review you could easily get an excellent score significantly after taking the class. What I would almost be more concerned about is whether you want to devote time in your senior (I assume) year to relearning the material when you're in the midst of new classes.
Of course, you may not have meny other options at this point.</p>

<p>I'm taking it on Saturday. About the AP: I'm hoping for a 4.</p>

<p>I took a practice yesterday and got a 670, and I have two more to take between now and Saturday (I'm using Kaplan). I expect a lot of improvement.</p>

<p>how many can you get wrong and still get a 750?</p>

<p>Well I took a pratice test from the book that the collegeboard puts out and I got 12 wrong and scored a 770. So i'm assuming 15 wrong = 750, depending on the curve.</p>

<p>i would say that you would have to review a little, because the US SATs are almost as specific as the APs</p>
