i knew you\u2019d agree. let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>what can i expect?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>compared to the sat, the world history subject test is small potatoes. scored on a 200-800 point scale, the tests consists of ninety-five multiple choice questions. it only takes an hour, too!<\/p>\n<p>just because it\u2019s short and simple doesn\u2019t mean that the sat world history subject test is easy. if you\u2019re going to do a good job, you need to know what to expect.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>what do i need to study?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>short answer: how well did you do in your world history class? if as were the most common letter on your assessments, a few hours of review should do the trick. if lower grades were more common in your experience, pay even closer attention to what the test covers before hitting the books.<\/p>\n<p>no matter your experience, here is some information about eras the test covers that should help you form a study plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>prehistory to 500 c.e.: 25%.<\/li>\n<li>500 to 1500 c.e.: 20%<\/li>\n<li>1500 to 1900 c.e.: 25%<\/li>\n<li>post 1900s c.e.: 20%<\/li>\n<li>cross-chronological: 10%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>the sat world history subject test might also cover topics not normally covered in high school world history classes. for example, <strong>questions about asia make up 30% of test questions<\/strong>. if your teacher did not focus on asia (i know i didn\u2019t as a world history teacher), make sure to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/subjecttestspractice.collegeboard.org\/practice\/sat-subject-test-preparation-world-history?practicetestsectionidkey=subject.world_history\" target=\"_blank\">practice test <\/a>before you create your study plan. missed questions will reveal any gaps in your knowledge. there are a lot of good resources online, too. in fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/humanities\/world-history\" target=\"_blank\">khan academy has partnered with sat to provide amazing world history resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>what\u2019s a high score good for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>as freshman and sophomores, you probably don\u2019t know everything about the college admissions process. that\u2019s okay. in short, a high score can do a couple of things to help your college admissions game.<\/p>\n<p>the first advantage of having a high score is that it makes you a more competitive candidate. though good grades and extracurricular activities may make you a shoe-in at a public college, if a private college is in your future, you\u2019re going to need every advantage. even at colleges that don\u2019t require subject tests, good scores will always give you a boost.<\/p>\n<p>the second advantage is financial. you may already know that high advanced placement scores can save you a few bucks in college, but sat subject test scores can, too! some colleges use subject test scores the same way as ap scores. this practice is not universal, though, so check the fine print as you research colleges.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>final thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>well, freshman and sophomore magoosh readers, we have come to the end of our journey together. i hope you learned a little about the sat world history subject test. and remember, if history isn\u2019t your subject, there are a <a href=\"https:\/\/collegereadiness.collegeboard.org\/sat-subject-tests\/subjects\" target=\"_blank\">lot of other subject tests out there<\/a>. no matter what, get out there and take one this summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>good day magoosh readers! today i\u2019m going to talk to a group of high school students i rarely get to see: freshmen and sophomores! sorry juniors and seniors, i\u2019ll see you next time! but if you want to stick around for this article, that\u2019s okay, too. okay freshmen and sophomores, there\u2019s a special reason i\u2019m [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":154,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[105],"ppma_author":[24915],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- this site is optimized with the yoast seo premium plugin v21.7 (yoast seo v21.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>sat world history subject test - magoosh blog | high school<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"is the sat world history subject test part of your summer plans?
