World History SAT Subject test?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi, so I'll be taking the AP European History exam this may and I was wondering if I should also take the World History SAT. I'm not taking the World History AP because I've heard that it's much harder than the Sat World History. Also, isn't there a nice curve on the World History SAT?</p>

<p>The curve’s awesome. Do a practice test online (without studying) and see how much of it is general knowledge to you. If you like history and have a flair for it, you should definitely do it. Especially cuz a lot of it is European history…which you’re doing</p>

<p>The curve is awesome for a reason. The questions are flipping hard. (Not very good at history here)</p>

<p>I thought about this last year when D2 studied AP European. I bought several AP World history for her to take but in the end it was a no. BTW, She received one of the highest grades in this class. Check out Silverturtle link on this subject. I think I would advice you not to take it.

<p>It seems like US history(out of all the history tests) is an easier SAT subject test because the scope is narrower.</p>

<p>Bump. Any more suggestions? Can someone tell me which prep books I should use for the sat world history? It looks like though barron’s has a lot of unnecessary info, it provides all the material you need to know. The others are pretty succinct.</p>

<p>My son did well on the World History SAT and I think the Barron’s book was very helpful, more for the review, less for the tests which were harder than the actual test. The college board’s practice test was helpful.</p>

<p>Honestly, you don’t need a special book to prepare for this. I used my general (non-AP, we only have IB History of the Americas) World History textbook to study. I read it cover to cover, did some practice tests, and went over class notes. I pulled off a 770.</p>

<p>If you’re taking AP, your textbook will probably be even more detailed/helpful.</p>

<p>I did euro and art history in one year, plus I am interested in world history- between the end of ap exams and june, I used barron’s flashcards (not very good), 5 steps to a 5 (Ap world), and many online sites: textbooks, practice tests, etc. and was able to get an 800 ;D</p>

<p>It is also very helpful to attempt the Ap world history practice exams- which are more difficult than the sat!!</p>
