On the SAT II in U.S History, the breakdown of questions is like this:
 +
<br>Pre-Columbian history to 1789 - 20%
 +
<br>1790 to 1898 - 40%
 +
<br>1899 to the present - 40%
 +
 +
Hence nearly half the exam is on the last century on the SAT II.

The very first words of the [[Mayflower Compact]] were “In ye name of God Amen.”  Just as our Nation’s founders started with a prayer, so do we.  Prayer clears out the noise in our minds.  We are looking for knowledge and inspiration here, and that comes from God.  In most countries parents do not have the freedom even to have a class like this.  The main reason we have freedoms is because Americans are more devoted to religion than in other countries.
