Two SAT II practice tests with answers are presented, and reflect questions in the current actual SAT II World History exam. Extensive review material chronicles human history from the earliest known societies to the modern technology-driven world community. Subject matter is organized chronologically for easy reference and review, as well as in categories covering major events, ideas, and personages. This new edition presents an ex-panded series of recall questions and answers at the end of each unit.
This book is meant for review for the SAT II World History Test. It has a lot of practice tests in it, and after each time period's review section, it gives you a short test to see how well you learned the material. My complaints are that it doesn't actually cover ALL the material, so some of the questions you can't answer correctly just having read the book, and some of the questions are sort of judgment questions, but that's also how the test works. The history review sections have really, really laughable writing by someone who should not be writing history. They sound like a high school student themselves. But it gets the point across about what the test wants you to think about history.
