<p>What is more effective for US History?</p>
<p>Should I be going through a comprehensive list of terms, cases, writers, etc?</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>Should I be reading summaries like the ones online on Sparknotes? Like the summaries of all the periods in American History? They include terms, but I’m not sure how long it will take me to finish.</p>
<p>bumpbumpbump</p>
<p>sorry, if i knew anything i’d tell you. I would tend to say summaries are better but i don’t know what is specifically on the SAT II</p>
<p>okay thanks. =]</p>
<p>how hard are the kaplan USH tests compared to the real thing? i hope its harder cuz i am barely cracking 700 on those :(</p>
<p>If I am getting around 58~62 right on the Barron’s how will I do on the real thing? I love history but these Barron tests are impossible.</p>
<p>i know there isnt much battle history. But are there any important ones that we have to know?</p>
<p>Gettysburg
Saratoga
Midway
Tet Offensive
Thats all i can think of…any more?</p>
<p>Maybe Yorktown during the Revolutionary War since it was the last one. More important is probably the two Treaties of Paris, and then the Treaty of Ghent during the War of 1812. </p>
<p>Vietnam might be important to. Like the significance of the Tet Offensive, not the actual statistics. But I honestly am guessing.</p>
<p>New Orleans (always a classic)
D-day
Tonkin Gulf</p>
<p>and im reading thru barron’s (tried to switch to kaplan but barnes and noble has a 14day return policy without a reciept) but it has all this info on hw bush, clinton, w bush, and enron, 9/11, anthrax</p>
<p>obviously i know all this stuff generally because ive been alive thru it, but how much of the sat ii is geared towards 1980s - present?</p>
<p>1980’s to the present will have only a couple questions max on the test.</p>
<p>online it says that 60 questions are before 1900, and 30 are after 1900. and 20 of the questions that are in the earlier part are even before the revolution. so a lot of emphasis on native americans i presume?</p>
