Check out Barron's new US History prep book for the SAT Subject Test. The book is a total revision with new tests (two of which are on an interactive CD ROM). The book abandons the president-by-president organization and selects the top twenty historical items that should be studied from each time period for review. Then there are five main ideas to know based on those twenty items, along with detailed timelines.

I read the original post but I'm still not too clear about this. Which review book should I get if I want to score an 800 in USH? I'm currently taking APUSH.

Hey guys I'm going to take the math 2 test in may this year and I was wondering which barrons book do I buy? From what I see a lot of people on amazon say that the barrons quality is poor now and there are a
lot of mistakes.

Incredibly helpful! When I found this, I felt like I'd found a treasure chest! Thank you so much! Writing World History this June and Literature next October. God help me. Good Luck to whoever is writing a test!

Biology E or M Subject Test Question: Can someone tell me how accurate the Sparknotes practice tests are from experience? I have read things saying they are spot on to completely of the mark, is there any general consensus?
Thanks!

Does anyone know if the Rea Crash Course: AP US History is any good for the SAT II: US History?

@Sophia3 Last year I read Amsco and Princeton Review (AP) for APUSH. I took the SAT II the day after the AP. I got a 4 and a 790. It seems that the consensus on CC is that Amsco is God for all tests of US History. I never read REA so I don't know if it's any good.

Is Princeton Review still the best for Biology M? Anybody take the test recently with a different recommendation?

I read that at the time you thought the Barron's SAT U.S. History Guide had overly hard practice tests. Is this still the case with the most recent edition?
Thanks!

What do the letters in parenthesis stand for?
Like "Barron's (A, C, D)" that's recommended for Spanish with listening?
