<p>I just finished an honors course (grade-95/100) in May and I'm thinking about taking the SAT II WH this October. I've taken two practice tests from CB and they both seemed kinda hard and had a lot of info that my class never covered (especially pre-history stuff). Should I practice/study a lot and take it? What books should I use to prepare to get the best results? ...or should I just forget it and find another subject?
Thanks for any help.</p>
<p>That test was a joke. I didn't have a rigorous global studies class and had finished European history for a year when I took it. I still did better than 98% of test takers and got a 780. I thought the practice tests were hard (got mid 600s) but I had used Barron's tests which are known to be overly-difficult.</p>
<p>CB tests should be relatively accurate though but the grading curve on it is pretty generous. It's up to you whether to take it or not. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>I'd honestly only take an SAT2 on a course I had an AP class on. </p>
<p>Will you be taking AP World any time soon? Otherwise my advice would just be to choose another subject.</p>
