<p>The test was pretty easy in itself, but if you forget about a period and the test makers feel like asking questions about it you will be hit hard, especially if it’s one of the long open ended. I would suggest getting Gardner’s Art Through The Ages and reading each chapter at least twice. Make sure to work on memorizing the piece’s name, artist, location, and art historical period. When it comes to art outside the European tradition I made a list of my 20 favorite words from all those chapters and luckily one of them ended up being usable for the open ended essay, so that might work for you. Make sure not to ignore modern art. I thought the Barron’s prep book did a pretty good job of condensing all the information for last minute cramming, but REA is a little more in-depth if you have extra time before the test.</p>
