Reader Reviews
This review is from: How to Prepare for Sat II: World History (Barron's How to Prepare for the Sat II World History) (Paperback)
As a teacher of World and European History I am concerned that many students purchase Marilynn Hitchens' SAT II World History (I refer to the 1996 edition) simply because the abbreviation SAT II features in capital letters on the cover and it is part of a widely used series of SAT II preparation books. Let us take a look at Model test 2 : Q 1 offers two wrong choices where there is supposed to be only one - D is the intended wrong answer, but B is wrong two. Adolf Hitler's NSDAP became the strongest party in the 1933 elections, but in order to govern it had to form a coalition with other parties; only that coalition then had a majority; the NSDAP never won a majority in free elections. Q 3 offers either no or 3 correct answers, depending on how you interprete it - all countries mentioned had colonies in Africa from the 1880es to 1914, the British, French and Spanish had a colonial Empire in Africa before and only expanded it in those years. Q 56 the intended answer is D - chronological order Berlin Wall, Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis. The author here seems to confuse the construction of the Berlin Wall (1961) with the erection of the Iron Curtain (1949) Q 86 intended answer E Curus the Great Empire in 486 B.C. Cyrus ruled 559-529; in 486 Darius I. was sitting on the throne of the Persian Empire. The map shows the Persian Empire with Egypt (conquered after Cyrus), but without India (part of Darius' Empire). 4 questions make quite a difference in an SAT II test. The text section of the book is similarily unreliable, the 'maps' or should I say geographical sketches are very sloppy. The book is in my view unprofessional; spreading often incorrect knowledge, it is confusing rather than informing.
