Product Description:

The Official SAT Subject Tests in U.S. and World History Study Guide is the only source of official questions and answer explanations for these exams, and it is the only guide developed by the test maker. In addition to two fulllength, previously administered practice tests in each subject, the guide also contains complete solutions, answer explanations and test-taking strategies.





Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The book is just as horrific as the test
From a student's perspective, the book isn't very helpful. Most people use it to review right before taking the test to get a general feel for how they would do. If your looking for a book that will help you review material, this isn't it...it's just two tests that are honestly not anything like the real thing. If you want my advice, stay away from the U.S. Subject test altogether- it's awful :(



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Math Tests are NOT Accurate
If you are planning on taking multiple Subject tests, then this is a cost efficient book. However, if you are only taking the Math test, please know that the test(s) in this book are far too easy compared to the real thing.

If you are looking for a book that is accurate in difficulty, then try the Barron's book, but be forewarned that it is more difficult and comprehensive than the real test.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An accurate judge of your score...
What this book does not do is help you cram for the SAT II World History/U.S. History test. It doesn't feed you information; it doesn't reward you for sleeping through U.S. History or World History in school. If you want a book that does, go for Barron's or Princeton (which, by the way, has an immense review section on world history filled with details- some useful, some useless).

This book is designed for assessment. If you are a student who has studied well in history class, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Exactly as it sounds
The book features ACTUAL subject tests that were previously published- 2 in US history, 2 in world history. I found them to be tremendously beneficial, beause some review books aren't hard enough and some (most notably the Barron's) are unrealistically hard. I strongly reccomend it.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - eh
This isn't that great for reviews or preparations. It serves primarily as a practice test booklet.
