I have 2 SAT Subject Tests that I have to take an exam on May 7th I beleive. I'm taking Math 1 and U.S History. I studied nearly all Math 1, I believe i'm somewhat prepared for the exam. On the other hand, I haven't studied shit for the U.S history exam.

It would be amazing if any of you guys who took either the Math 1 and the U.S history exam to tell me what particular areas I should stress on. Thanks.
 
Funny, I took both Math 1 and U.S. History as my subjected tests last year and ironically on the same date you are taking them. Unfortunately, I cannot recount what areas were stressed on the respective test nor do I think every test exactly parallels a previous test despite its claim as a 'standardized test'.

Though I can tell you that if you are in AP United States History, the subjected tests should be a breeze since the material is obviously the same. I suggest REA Crashcourse U.S. history as a book to review/as a supplement. For a primary study I would use AMSCO U.S. History.

I suggest taking Math 2 in lieu of Math 1. This advice is probably a tad late since Math 2 requires more studying, but it's definitely worth it. Firstly, Math 2 is more reputable in the college admission process, and secondly, I find Math 2 much more manageable. There is a common perception that Math 2 is harder, but that notion is awfully wrong. Math 2 covers more information, but it is less tricky. Math 1 is very similar to the trickiness of SAT Math. Further, the curve for Math 1 is terrible as opposed to it's counterpart where one can get 7 wrong and still achieve and 800.

If I were you, I would forget your Math 1 registration and study for Math 2 for a later date.
 
Goodluck on your exams. I'm actually taking the exact two in June. What did you use to study for Math I? I didn't prepare at all for the SAT math section and did fairly well on it. Is it similar to that or is it alot more in depth?
 
Main problem is that I need to take 7 SAT subject tests and the SAT. So I need to do all these Subjects. I bought the SAT Barron's U.S History and Math 1 Book to review all the topics that are covered in highschool.

Thanks for the tips guys :)
