If you are interested in taking an SAT Subject Test in World History prep course, Varsity Tutors offers private SAT World History Test classes to help you build your study skills. SAT Subject Tests are standardized exams taken by high school students to enhance their college applications. You can demonstrate your passion for a particular subject area, meet admission requirements, and even earn college credit by taking one of these tests. If you're ready to take your test prep to the next level, register for one of our SAT World History Test courses today!
The structure of the test is generally one of the first topics discussed in any SAT Subject Test in World History class. The table below contains information on its formatting and scoring range:
| Question Format | # Questions | Time Allowed | Scoring Range |
| Multiple-Choice | 95 | 60 | 200-800 |
As you can see, you really don't have much time to answer all of the questions. Many students take practice exams during their SAT World History Test course to develop a sense for what the time available to them might feel like, making it easy to craft a plan of attack on exam day. Gaining experience with the way questions are worded can also help students identify keywords that change the meaning of a question, such as "not."
Similarly, any good SAT Subject Test in World History prep class covers the types of material students might see on exam day. The chart below breaks down the exam's content by time period covered:
| SAT Subject Test in World History Periods Breakdown | Percentage of Exam |
| Prehistory and civilizations to the year 500 Common Era (C.E.) | 25 |
| 500 to 1500 C.E. | 20 |
| 1500 to 1900 C.E. | 25 |
| Post-1900 C.E. | 20 |
| Cross-chronological | 10 |
Enrolling in a private SAT World History Test class allows students to spend as much time on any of these topics as they might need to. For example, if you have a harder time with the ancient world than more modern topics, your sessions can focus on Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt to help you build up confidence heading into the exam. In contrast, most SAT Subject Test in World History prep courses follow established curricula that simply aren't that attentive to an individual student's needs.
Working with a private instructor may also allow them to design your SAT World History Test course around your unique needs. For example, a visual learner might get a lot out of charts comparing various world cultures to one another, while an auditory learner might want to approach the same information by listening to an educational podcast. Any questions you have can also be addressed in a timely manner, allowing you to seek clarification before a misunderstanding can snowball out of control.
At Varsity Tutors, we also try to make standardized test prep as convenient as possible. Our mobile-friendly Live Learning Platform leverages powerful features such as video chat functionality to provide a face-to-face learning environment anywhere with a stable internet connection. We also try to match every student with an instructor who fits into their lifestyle, as nobody should need to stop living life just because they are studying for a test.
If you would like to learn more about the benefits of taking one of our SAT World History Test prep classes, Educational Directors are standing by to answer all of your questions. Contact Varsity Tutors today to get the process started.

I value critical thinking as my philosophy of...

Lisa: SAT Subject Test in World History course instructor
I have been a tutor for six years, and have tutored all ages. I specialize in the college admission process, and especially like working with students on admissions essays and test prep. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame two years ago with a degree in television and anthropology. I work at MTV during the weekday, but am free weekends and weeknights after 7:00 pm.... I think a good tutor allows the student to learn what they already know before trying to teach them anything new. I love working with students on their writing. I also love sharing the tricks and tips I learned during my own time as a student.

My name is Debra and I have an MA in Anthropology from the University of Chicago. I really like engaging with the humanities and hope to help students improve their understanding of history, the social science, writing, and grammar. ... I like to be as conversational as possible, because I think that's the best way to communicate ideas. I try to be pretty informal, because I find that formality can turn students. Overcomplicating the subject matter is not helpful, so I try to make things as simple as possible and build on that foundation.
