<p>I really don't know whether or not to purchase another book for the SAT 2.</p>
<p>My AMSCO book JUST came in today! I'm psyched... it got great reviews by everyone. Hopefully that is enough. What I'm going to do is read AMSCO, and bits of REA, and then do the practice tests out of the official study guide for US and World History (the book by collegeboard). I'm taking USH subject test in May.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>maybe...</p>
<p>that's all anyone can say.</p>
<p>it will definitely help you get close, but ive gotta say one thing: take notes. it's gonna take a bit for you to read it, so it definitely helps to take a little bit of notes on each chapter (i'm doing like 1 side of a sheet of paper per chapter), and then occasionally review them. i'm doing the same thing (reading amsco and taking the test in june), so i cant tell you about results, but taking notes certainly cant hurt.</p>
<p>thanks, ok I have another question, what type of questions are generally asked, like in what time era.</p>
<p>on one of the practice tests on sparknotes i noticed a lot of questions were between revolutionary war period and the world war i period. i'd try and be ready for anything, but i doubt you need to know the specifics about the revolutionary war, colonial period, or anything after 1970.</p>
<p>It covers the whole thing. Yes, there's stuff about the colonial period and after 1970. <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/lc_two/histus/format.html?histus%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/lc_two/histus/format.html?histus</a></p>
<p>Would the AMSCO book also be good for AP US History? My D is taking the AP exam but doesn't want to take the US History subject test. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, the AMSCO book is meant for the AP exam, not the subject test, but it works for both.</p>
