<p>What did you think?
Do you have any questions?</p>
<p>I thought it was actually easy. Mhm. Well I took it after a hard subject test, so my perception of it may be a little flawed.</p>
<p>Much easier than last month’s.
I’m so upset that I missed two questions that were extremely easy though.
I omitted one and definitely missed two, though I was fairly sure that the rest of my answers were correct. Hopefully I’ll still be in the curve for an 800.
Don’t really want to discuss questions until everyone has started.</p>
<p>what was the answer to the painting one???</p>
<p>It is my first time to take the USH after learning and studying it all on my own from zero… in two months…</p>
<p>I felt it was even easier than the practice tests I did on the Kaplan SATII textbook as well as the sparknotes test centre~</p>
<p>700 may be my optimum score… I left 6 questions blank, then how many wrong answers can make my score 700 or higher?</p>
<p>I got a 610 last month, and with less knowledge, this was much harder…good thing the Math 2 and Physics were easier</p>
<p>The cartoon about the railways… I said A, The Railway Act… Correct, incorrect…?</p>
<p>Also, result of the war of 1812… Increase in domestic manufactures…?</p>
<p>Generally, what is the curve on this test?</p>
<p>Any other difficult questions that you guys are wondering about??</p>
<p>The painting was Jackson Pollock, abstract expressionism. When i saw that one I was like, FINALLY they’re asking about something I KNOW 
</p>
<p>For the railroad one I answered The Interstate Commerce Act. Wikipedia says
It fits perfectly, I think.</p>
<p>You’re right, that absolutely fits. Oh well.</p>
<p>Good call on Wikipediaing questions. The War of 1812 increased domestic manufactures, indeed.</p>
<p>What were the other choices on the War of 1812 questions? Anyone remember? I <em>think</em> I put domestic manufacturing.</p>
<p>And yes, it was the Interstate Commerce Act.
The painting was abstract expressionalism.
The quote about marching was William Sherman.
The person associated with freedom of the press was Zenger.
Monroe Doctrine was the answer to the question with the “allied powers” quote.
The Great Society question, the exception was revitalizing the inner cities? Something like that?
The last question was Richard Nixon, “peace with honor”
Judicial review -> Marbury v. Madison
There was a Booker T. Washington question I think, about the value of the American dollar not being prejudiced.
Carnegie’s Gospel of Wealth -> funding civic institutions. Remember the Carnegie libraries.
Marcus Garvey -> black pride
I think there was a quote about Native Americans working as slaves on estates? The answer was Spain.</p>
<p>What was the exception for the question about Northeast cities? I can’t remember if the question said during colonial times or not. :/</p>
<p>I think the exception on the Great Society was actually something else. Inner city revitalization actually occurred.</p>
<p>For NE cities I wasn’t sure if it was “department stores” or “movie palaces” in the late nineteenth century. I think I went with “movie palaces”.
EDIT: Checking Wikipedia shows that “movie palaces” were later. Thus, that was the answer.</p>
<p>I don’t know what else it could be then, the other choices seemed to be big proponents of the Great Society program.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question where Indian Bureau was an answer choice? That one was tough, if I remember correctly…</p>
<p>Oh, also, the NATO and SEATCO question was collective security.</p>
<p>Was that about Andrew Jackson’s quote about John Marshall?
Not sure if that was the question, but the answer was the court’s ruling in favor of Native American rights.</p>
<p>Oh, with respect to the Great Society question, I think one of the options was tightening control of public facilities…? That was what I picked, I believe.</p>
<p>President who passed the Civil Rights Act and Equal Opportunity Act was Lyndon Johnson.
I honestly can’t remember if that was one of the questions or just me remembering something from my practice tests.</p>
<p>Ahhh, that makes sense. @ the great society question.</p>
<p>The Truman Doctrine was talking about promoting democracy in Turkey and Greece.</p>
<p>Redeemers were the ones who opposed Reconstruction, can’t remember what the exact question or the answer, but it was a question (fairly easy one).</p>
<p>There was a question about the Red Scare. I think it was about businesses discouraging union membership by playing on the Red Scare.</p>
<p>The Sugar Act was important because it was designed to bring in revenue instead of managing trade.
Mercantilism was the answer to the one about colonial economy.</p>
