<p>800 :smiley: up 40 points from my first 760 with no prep. So happy, great job everyone </p>

182

<ol>
<li>So pissed. Probably gonna retake.</li>
</ol>

183

<ol>
<li>A bit dissapointed. I was expecting at least a 780. </li>
</ol>

184

<p>780, which considering I didn’t have time to study is perfectly acceptable :slight_smile: Nice job everyone!</p>

185

<p>770, up 20 from May’s.</p>

186

<ol>
<li>I’m a rising senior, haven’t taken a US history class since freshman year, let alone APUSH. Did about a month’s worth of self-study. Read AMSCO folks! All you need for the 800 is free online as a PDF.</li>
</ol>

187

<p>Insider’s Guide (Essential Content) is perfect. 800 on this and I’m extremely confident about the APUSH test but I guess we’ll see. I’m not really sure how the guy is so on-point with the information and tips he offers, but it’s almost uncanny. It’s a fairly short and easy read (in a bullet-point outline). As long as you have rudimentary knowledge of American history, you shouldn’t waste your time on AMSCO or any of the longer study guides in my opinion.</p>

188

<p>REA’s crash course does the job.</p>

189

<p>APUSH does not equal to an 800 on the subject test. </p>

<p>How the f did I get a 690 on my history test? Is there a way to get this hand-checked? I’m pretty sure that this is not my score. </p>

190

<p>My son got a 750, and I don’t believe that’s his score either.</p>

191

<p>@ckoepp127, what is the website that you used Amsco for. Is there anything else you used also in preparation for the test?</p>

192

<p>My D got 770 and is satisfied. That’s 91st percentile. Of course it helps that she already has 800’s in Math 2 and Chemistry. We mainly wanted a 3rd subject test score for her application to Georgetown.</p>

193

<p>@Corinthian‌ that’s fantastic! She is set for Georgetown - my sister goes there and loves it.</p>

195

<p>@dan213 yea I read the Kaplan sat USH review book and American pageant, although this was overkill and I don’t recommend it. AMSCO is enough.</p>

196

<p>I got a 770. I took the AP Test, and then my school final like 4 days before so I just went over Kaplan summaries. Very happy with the score!</p>

197

<p>I am planning on taking the US History one in October possibly, but will the test be more difficult when I take it in the fall? What do you guys think? Thanks @kirstr and @ckoepp127. </p>

198

<p>Were there a few questions on anything in the pre-columbian era by any chance?</p>

199

<p>@dan213 There was one on pre-columbian Native American tribes on the June test. I don’t think these questions are particularly common, though. </p>

200

<p>I remember last year that happened to me, but I canceled the score, because I thought it was not to good. </p>
