Question

Are the History and English SAT II's Hard?

Answer 1

For me, they are not bad, but the science and math ones seem to be a lot easier. If you study alot for the histories, you will do fine.

Answer 2

I thought the English Literature SAT II was pretty easy.  It's a little more abstract than the critical reading on the SAT I because it asks you to analyze poems, but it wasn't bad at all.  Do a bunch of practice tests from Barron's SAT II English Literature book and you'll be set.

Answer 3

I took the US History one and got a 700.  I went to www.sparknotes.com and bought the online tests they have.  

It helped me a lot because it gave me 8 actual past tests.  I got to see how they asked the questions and notice which questions/topic they ask a lot.  They also give you a report on which areas of history i needed to study.  I took their test the first time a got  a 640 and that was one week before the actual test.  I took the other tests (that was my only studying) and got a 700!

the english lit is kinda hard.  I went in without knowing what to expect and without prep and got a 670, which i guess is kinda decent.  if theres a review book for that, i would recommend getting it.

knowing whats going to be on the test gets takes a huge emotional load off of you and made me so much more relaxed.
