Things to beware about the '''SAT II Subject Test: World History''' exam are as follows.
#It tests "pre-history", which is unproven and often implausible speculation about a time period prior to historical records. This could be 5-10% of the exam.{{fact}}
#It uses "B.C.E." instead of "B.C." and "C.E." instead of "A.D.", even though no one denies that the dating system is based on the birth of [[Jesus]].{{fact}}
#It is likely to credit [[humanism]] for the [[Renaissance]], and credit the [[Enlightenment]] for more than it deserves. [[Christianity]] will receive little or no credit on the exam.{{fact}}
#Only 25% of this exam is about [[Europe]]. 10% is on EACH of [[Africa]], Southwest [[Asia]], South and Southeast Asia, East Asia and the Americas (areas other than the [[United States]]){{fact}}
#The format of the test is one hour long, consisting of 95 multiple-choice questions. Many questions are written in a convoluted manner, and some students may run out of time.{{fact}}
#Questions that are "Global or Comparative" make up 25% of the exam.{{fact}}
#The CLEP exams on Western Civilization is a much better test of relevant historical knowledge. But the CLEP is about $50 more expensive than the SAT II (About $75 for the CLEP compared with about $25 for the SAT II). However, a CLEP score reflects college-level work, and may impress colleges more than an SAT II score.{{fact}}
==Tips for taking the exam==
#Beware these words in answers, because these words are so sweeping that the answer is probably wrong: "only", "never", "always", "every" and "none".
#These words in an answer suggest that the answer may be the correct choice because they are not so sweeping: "rarely", "sometimes", "often" and "generally".
