<p>ok, so i'm getting ready to take the sat2s in june... obviously it depends on what your best subjects are, but are there any SATIIs that are just notorious for being difficult? </p>
<p>right now im trying to decide between spanish and u.s. history...</p>
<p>sat ii u.s. history is a lot of facts, not as much of the analysis that you see on ap tests...so its difficult if you dont know some random junk....but good if you do...</p>
<p>On the contrary, I have the heard the language tests are the most challenging. While many native speakers achieve perfect 800s on SAT II Chinese, SAT II Korean, and SAT II Spanish, these tests are more challenging to non-native speakers. For example, at my own school, roughly all AP Spanish students (non-native speakers) score 4 or 5 on the AP test, while only scoring between 600 and 650 on the SAT II Spanish test. However, on a note of caution, I'm not sure if this is only true of my school due to our foreign language department or not.</p>
<p>Hmm. That's interesting. But, since the SAT IIs are multiple choice, it'll be more grammar and vocab. And... I guess some schools just stress grammar more than others? Weird. (Our school does not tend to have very high AP scores - at least for French, which I'm taking.)</p>
<p>Maybe check out a review book from a library and see how difficult the practice exams are.</p>
<p>latin seems hard to me from questions ive seen from real sat II book, thats that only book out there, friend of my whoe got gold on national latin exam prose level III, got like 500 on the sat II so it must be hard</p>
<p>I tried a USH test out of one of the "REAL SAT IIs" book and it was ridiculously easy. I breezed through it in 20 minutes and never double checked it and got an 800 (although barely). But I'm having a tougher time with practice AP USH exams.</p>
<p>hmm good to know! yeah i found some practice Qs at the guidance office at my school so im gonna check those out, ill give you guys an update if you want</p>
<p>if anyone else has any more info, keep on posting!</p>
