Things to beware about the World History SAT II exam:

1. 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!

2. 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.

3. It is likely to credit humanism for the Renaissance, and credit the Enlightment for more than it deserves. Christianity will receive little or no credit.

4. Only 25% of this exam is about Europe. 10% EACH is on Africa, Southwest Asia, South and Southeast Asia, East Asia and the Americans (other than the United States)

5. The format of the test is one hour long, consisting of 95 multiple-choice questions. Many questions are written in a convoluted manner, and students may run out of time.

6. Questions that are "Global or Comparative" make up a remarkable 25% of the time.

7. The CLEP exam on Western Civilization is a much better test of relevant historical knowledge.
