Barron’s is excellent review, and the tests are certainly harder, but there are some hard questions on the US History SAT II anyways. But instead of only having a few hard questions, Barron’s is mostly hard questions. Why practice with the easy ones?



Lol.

Why practice with irrelevant AND hard questions? Why practice with Barron’s?

The questions in the Barron’s SAT II USH book are not only hard but also irrelevant.

Just as there is no point in practicing soccer with a baseball, there is no point in taking the Barron’s tests. Playing soccer with a baseball is one, hard, and two, doesn’t help you at all with playing soccer properly.

If you really wanted to up your soccer skills, you’d play against someone much better than you, not a ball much smaller than a soccer ball. Sure, the baseball would make a game of soccer a LOT harder, but … harder in the wrong way.

If you really wanted to get a good score on the SAT II USH test, you’d get another book.

800 in USH.
