<p>My daughter is far more interested in science than history but scored a 770 on it (her best SATII score). She was in APUSH at the time, but her teacher was really mediocre at best. She does a lot of independent reading on her own, including history, but really didn’t study at all before hand; she never touched a review book. She has claimed that keeping her television tuned into the History Channel while she was doing her pre-calc homework did the trick, but I am certainly not recommending that. Something worked for her, however, as she also had a 5 on the AP test and a 100 on the NYS History regents exam.</p>
