<p>Since I am taking the US History SAT Subject Test soon, I wanted to finally find out which book is the best to use to be very well prepared for the test. Which book would be better to use if I am trying to take the test in December?</p>
<p>This topic has been beaten to death recently. Look around for recent threads regarding review books for SAT II USH. </p>
<p>Frankly, most people just parrot the one review book they used as the “best.” I wouldn’t take those opinions with much, if any, weight.</p>
<p>I’ve already looked at a lot of the USH threads, but I want to know which one is more suitable to self-study with? I really want to get at least a 770+ on the exam so I really want something that will help me. I’ve seen that many people like both AMSCO and Essential Content so I wanted to know which one is better.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Then you won’t be disappointed with The Essential Content. I’ve looked through EC, AMSCO, and many other review books, and in the weeks leading up to the SAT II USH exam, I only used EC. </p>
<p>Good decision.</p>
<p>So if I read the Essential Content fully, knowing everything stated in that book, then I could excel on the subject test with no other book or course?</p>
<p>Absolutely.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The same goes for AMSCO and, for that matter, Encyclopedia Britannica - if you read either “fully, knowing everything stated,” you’ll also ace the SAT II USH exam ;). </p>
<p>My drift, of course, is that EC is the most efficient at covering what you need to know.</p>
<p>Ok, I just really hope that you’re right! Does EC include info about everything that could possibly be asked? In other words, are there some things on the test that EC does not cover?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>:). I know I’m right.</p>
