<p>My name is Vincent, I’m a student from France, currently studying for the SAT.
I decided to take SAT II U.S History. I have a close friend who’s in college in the U.S. and she advised me to buy
“United States History—Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination by AMSCO publishing”</p>
<p>She said that such a book for AP exams would be more than sufficient for SAT II.
So here’s the thing, I would like to have additional opinions on this book, and if it’s more efficient to prepare to the SAT with AP prep books.</p>
<p>Prepare for the SAT with an SAT book. The tests are different.<br>
Why not take world history rather than US? You’re probably more familiar with the material.</p>
<p>I’m aware that the tests are different but what about the content? A lot of guys on Amazon said that this book is great and that they got 800/800 at their SAT II, learning with it.
(But no one talked precisely about the content)</p>
<p>Actually, my friend who advised me this is French too. I thought the same about world history but I think there will be way more to learn.
I studied history in France, but we studied a lot of French history (which is quite a lot), world wars, and a little about other european countries (Italy, Spain, GB)
So, U.S history is shorter (she said) and more interesting, and easier to learn. </p>
