Missing PICS in SPARKNOTES in US HISTORY SAT II
S is taking the US History test right now on SPARKS and yelled up twice that the graphs or pics for questions are not showing up for questions asking you to look at pics... Did anyone else have this problem? This is test one.

Yup, I had that same problem on Test 1... quite frustrating.

I haven't taken any other SparkNotes tests yet, so I'm not sure if this problem is only with the first test or with all or just some of them...

Don't worry, just the first test is like that I believe. The rest should be fine.

I have that problem when taking the test. The graphs appear in the answers, though.

No big deal, though. Graphs are usually VERY easy questions.

Thanks --you guys are great. It was a diagnostic for him. He got a 700 and left those two blank and a few others blank too. He's got 11 days to read up. He should be fine. More concerned about Math II. LOL...

There are many issues with their visuals in all their tests that contain them. Just factor that in to the score you receive.

I got pretty angry when I saw that one too... but I only got a 670

2 more days for me to cram and then it's all practice tests.

My son used Barron's. He received today in the mail his US History SAT II score. He got a 800. Look's like Barron's did the trick.

I noticed that sparknotes leaves out some of the diagrams in its online tests. This happened to me for chemistry, biology, and math II.
