I'm a sophomore in hs and i'm thinking about taking the sat2's for world history. Should i be in an AP world history class to take the test or should i be fine if i'm in a accelerated world history class? Is the test really difficult or is it hard. Will i need to prep a lot for it??? A response would be appreciated thnx.

To me at least, the SAT II is really really hard. I got a 5 on the AP test, but on the practice SAT II's, i never got more than around a 670...But if history is your forte go for it. I actually heard that the regular or accelerated WH class is better for the test becuz the AP stresses general cultural ties and concepts whereas the SAT II is hecka specific.

I have the same question. Does barron's prepare you good enough to break a 700?

yes I used Barrons for the World History SAT 2 and got a 710. You just have to read and read and read some more until its all jammed into your brain.
