<p>bump(10 chars)</p>
<p>Yeah that would be good</p>
<p>i've been studying w/sparknotes, i have a solid A in my honors ush class... i got 580.... studied more... 690... studied more... 660... and more!...720</p>
<p>how accurate is sparknotes, some people said harder, some said easier... </p>
<p>do I have a chance at 700+?</p>
<p>I am using sparknotes for US History and I feel like the practice tests are easier than the real thing. I took one before I read anything and got a 760, just from asking around I get the feeling that the actual test will be a little tougher.</p>
<p>Can Anyone Answer My First Question ?</p>
<p>i started writing a list... do you want to see what i have so far?</p>
<p>Please do, couldn't hurt</p>
<p>I heard sparknotes was a little easier than the actual test, but honestly your real test will probably differ by only +/- 10.</p>
<p>i put together a quick list...probably more than what's necessary, but better to know too much than to know too little</p>
