<p>I am taking the SAT world history in December 2011, and I am an international student( did not take a world history course). So, which Barron book should I get?
Barron’s AP World History [Amazon.com:</a> Barron’s AP World History (9780764143670): John McCannon Ph.D.: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-World-History-McCannon-Ph-D/dp/0764143670/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311247960&sr=1-1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-World-History-McCannon-Ph-D/dp/0764143670/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311247960&sr=1-1)
Or
Barron’s SAT Subject Test World History [Amazon.com:</a> Barron’s SAT Subject Test World History (9780764144844): Marilynn Hitchens Ph.D., Heidi Roupp M.A.: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-Subject-Test-World-History/dp/0764144847/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311247917&sr=1-1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-Subject-Test-World-History/dp/0764144847/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311247917&sr=1-1)</p>

<p>If neither is good, can anyone recommend a good prepbook for me?</p>

<p>Barron’s AP is good enough. I uses it and got a 5/790.</p>

<p>^ I agree with pentupenguin. Although I got a 4, I got a 760 on the subject test.</p>

<p>But the Barron AP book does not go into details much. Does that put me at a disadvantage when it comes to the SAT world history test ( which is considered by many CCers very detailed-oriented)?</p>

<p>Barron’s AP DOES go in to details. Trust me. I thought the book was a bit superfluous, imho.</p>
