i’m a singaporean student taking SAT IIs in both US history and World History in June. Currently, my practice test scores are:

US history: 1st practice 650, 2nd practice 680
World history: 1st practice 710, 2nd practice 740

Whats the quickest way to improve these scores to as close to 800 as possible?
(Chem, Math IIC both scored 800 in Dec '06)

Also, will uni officers be impressed with someone who has no background in US history, yet scores highly on it? I’m thinking of using the SAT IIs to somehow compensate for a dismal history grade (I messed up my history A level exam last year).
