<p>I’m taking the test in a couple weeks. any tips/suggestions concerning the test?</p>
<p>open up a prep book.</p>
<p>i’ve heard that AMSCO works wonders. that’s what i’m using for mine in may.</p>
<p>ive been studying for awhile already… i just mean for anybody who did well on the test if they have any tips for me about the test itself?</p>
<p>Haha same boat here. I just purchased my US hist book and am preparing for next week- and i’m an international (figured i’d try to learn sth while getting SATs done)</p>
<p>I’ve found the Kaplan book pretty good, although I’ve had to refer to Wikipedia quite a fair bit as well. Wikipedia has a pretty helpful timeline thing which shows the major dates:</p>
<p>[History</a> of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States]History”>History of the United States - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>[Timeline</a> of United States history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_history]Timeline”>Outline of United States history - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>Have found US history to be pretty fascinating, although I keep deviating and reading up on conspiracy theories (which seem to happen at every turn of US history). Hope this helps haha</p>
<p>theres a lot of random stuff. read up a little on music, books, and culture.</p>
<p>Sparknotes prep was literally a godsend.</p>
<p>I got a 780 on the U.S. History.</p>
<p>The one I took didn’t cover anything after 1970. I have no idea if that’s the norm, though.</p>
<p>i had some stuff about reagan and carter.</p>
<p>I think on this last one, we got at least 3 modern history questions.</p>
