| Shrivats: Haha, that is true. Avid readers tend to do much better on the tests such as the verbal section on the SAT the SAT II lit exam. But while reading a lot does prep you for those tests, its not really something that'll help if you only start doing it months in advance, which is why I didn't include it in my recommendations. | |

| Does anyone know how hard the world history SAT would be?
Also, is there a rough correlation between SAT I Verbal scores and SAT II Lit scores? Since the LIT test does look insanely hard, would it be best not to take it if I scored a 750-780 on the SAT I? (assume I'm aiming for 750+ on LIT) | |

| No, a 750-780 looks just about right for a 750+ score on Lit. (Not as right as an 800 of course,  but still very good.)
There is some sort of a correlation. The test isn't insanely hard at all really, one just has to have a decent amount of interpretive skills that's all. They're not asking you to use any sort of supernatural skills. In fact Lit is probably one of the exams that, if you're good at, you can feel very confident about as there really is nothing more that you can do to prepare for it, besides being well, who you are...
Just work a bit of the more abstruse terms you'll encounter (synecdoche and the like and hope that you'll get passages that you'll relate to) | |

| wendyling - I wouldn't call your scores average. I don't know what the average is, but I'm sure it's a great deal lower than that. It's just that the people here on collegeconfidential tend to be high scoring overachievers. Moreover, those that aren't usually don't post their scores. | |

Chem: 790
prepping for the chem test -- I actually just went through the entire prep book, took notes on lots of things, did a lot of review problems, and a few practice tests. Although, frankly, I thought that both tests I took were easier than I thought they'd be. (don't know if that is helpful at all..) | |

| I used Barrons for both. =) But it's not enough I assure you. Get PR, too if you can. And there are some free online test. The name can't come to mind at the moment. | |

| Spark Notes has online tests. I'd second the Barrons+PR Combination. Tends to prepare you well enough. | |
