<p>What book is best for the World History SAT II?</p>
<p>Barrons goes really in depth and practice tests are not that accurate... i'd go with the AP book. I used both. I don't know much about Kaplan's... seems pretty good though. Definetly not PR though.</p>
<p>hey thanks, any more suggestions?</p>
<p>Alright. I used Barron's. trust me, in depth, hard ass test, guarenteeed 700+.</p>
<p>Yea... the test is pretty hard. It tests alot of random info which is not usually covered in the review books/world history courses. You must have decent process of elimination skills to do well on this test (I used POE on like 1/4 of the questions). As for advice... I don't really have much. Definetly get the Real SAT IIs book - it only provides one test and some practice questions but they are the closest you are going to get to the real thing. I assume you are taking the test in December, so you have plenty of time. Whether to study over a long period of time or cram is definetly a personal choice. I divided the AP book up and read it over a week, the SAT II book i just skimmed over a week before the test. Other than that, study hard and most importantly good luck!</p>

(btw the questions were harder than the actual thing, and my score was much lower than the actual test)</p>
<p>so far, I have been studying from Kaplan and have been taking the chapter tests from barrons to make sure I havent missed the material covered in barrons.. is that fine or should I study from barrons and ensure that I know all the material on there coz barrons has just too much info.....</p>
<p>My suggestion to you is to carefully read the Barrons SAT II World History Test Guide page to page. I spent 3 weeks concentrating on the practice tests for the June 5 test date. The real test was nothing like the questions covered on the practice exams. I got a 660 on the first take. Had I read the Barrons book from page to page, my scores would've been at least a 750+. So read the book to get a firm understanding on the questions that will be on the test.</p>
<p>Is Barron's or Kaplan better?</p>
<p>barrons sat II world. very solid covering everything. the test are impossibly hard.</p>
<p>How is PR for world history? As for Barron's, does it cover more materiel than is needed? and how is kaplan?</p>
<p>I do not know about Barron's SAT II: World History; but I know that Barron's usually cover more material needed, which is better than having less material covered.</p>
<p>I would guess barron's as well. My S used Barrons Euro during his AP Euro class, but still scored a 790 on the WH subject test with no prep.</p>
<p>THANKS! I need to go out now and buy the barrons book now</p>
<p>Is barron's enough? Or is it recommended that i use it along with kaplan?</p>
<p>Barron's book is enough.</p>
<p>What about the pratice tests in Barron's?</p>
<p>^ very difficult.</p>
<p>any more suggestions if i should use barron's only or both ( for study material and the practice tests) ?</p>
<p>Well, I were you, I would use Princeton Review for Practice Test because they "closely" relates to the actually exam; from my knowledge.</p>
<p>How would you guys compare kaplan and PR?</p>
