LD kids' experience with SAT II?

At the suggestion of S’14’s guidance counselor, I signed him up for the June 2 World History SAT II. He found it very hard. He said he hadn’t learned half the stuff on the test. He had extended time, but I don’t think it really helped.

Has anyone with LD taken this subject test? Do you think GC’s advice was misplaced? I care less about the score than I do about S getting demoralized before he even starts. I feel bad I didn’t get the right prep book – he’s been studying the Barron’s Regents World History book (per advice from same GC). I didn’t realize I should have bought him a SAT II prep book.

I have a tutor lined up for the summer who’s worked with LD kids before and he’ll prep for PSAT/SAT with him.

Any advice or suggestions from LD kids on how they handled subject tests?

Thanks from demoralized mom of demoralized kid
