January 2010 - US History

<p>Just came back from testing! What did you guys think about it? It wasn't as hard as I expected (at least easier than the official practice one from the blue book..).</p>

<p>I thought it was harder.
I was sort of surprised by the amount of pre-colonial questions.
I definitely think it was more difficult than the practice tests I took on Sparknotes, Princeton Review, and the College Board prep book. I’m pretty sure I got a couple wrong, and I left two open :(.
How many can I get wrong and still get above 750?</p>

<p>According to the blue book, if you omit two questions you can get 12-13 questions wrong and get a 750.
What I found good in the test was that there weren’t many quotes/cartoons as did the blue book test. I omitted 7 today, as opposed to 15 in the blue book one… I guess studying from nothing but Sparknotes wasn’t the right choice after all. -_-</p>

<p>The Cartoons felt random, and the quotes general.
Sparknotes did not prepare adequately.
When do we get results?!</p>

<p>According to CollegeBoard, “Check back on Feb 11 for Jan 23 SAT scores.” That would be 3 Thursdays from now. Till then!</p>

<p>that was somewhat difficult. I had seen some of the questions before from all the practice tests i took. When can we talk about questions (if ever)??</p>

<p>@born</p>

<p>When the embargo is lifted (although technically, we’re never supposed to discuss)</p>

<p>How did you do mabsjenbu? Was the test easier or harder than last time?</p>

<p>I thought it was a fair test. Some of the “except” questions were frustratingly subjective, but the remainder of the exam was straightforward.</p>

<p>Hello? Did anyone take this test? Embargo lifted.</p>

<p>haha looks like not many people took this test</p>

<p>ok…for the cartoon depicting Paul Revere…it was like: copley’s depicts all of the following except: I answered “the one about copley’s condescending view”</p>

<p>Word. I couldn’t really determine how an artist could paint a condescending view.</p>

<p>What about the question that talked about Jacksonian reforms? Was the answer something like “nationalized major industries”?</p>

<p>what did t-jay & hamilton agree on? the options were being allies with britain, “aristocratic” talent, etc.</p>

<p>and i’m trying to think of other stuff. umm. what was the answer to the reagan cartoon?</p>

<p>The answer to the Reagan cartoon was something along the lines of “allowing Star Wars at the expense of other federal economic programs.”</p>

<p>Reagan cartoon: i put it would create jobs and end the need for social programs???</p>

<p>I don’t recall that answer choice, but I know it had something to do with ending social programs.</p>

<p>for the one about which did hamilton/jefferson agree on
I put the answer dealing with “industrial factories”…couldn’t remember the real thing
for the cartoon with space program, I also put that it took money away from other areas of reform</p>

<p>was “military industrial complex” correct? I guessed on that</p>

<p>Also, who said the quote about being willing to die for justice?</p>

<p>the whole point was the Reagan’s Space Program “zapped” the other programs (he cut them from the budget).
I think the answer was “at the expense of other federal economic programs.”
I have some questions.
–What was the answer to the one regarding Sir Walter Raleigh? I completely forgot the choices…
–What was South Carolina’s main 16th century product? hemp or sugar caine?</p>

<p>-hamilton/jefferson- i put need for skilled aristocrats

  • dont remember the Sir Walter Raleight one…?
    -South Carolina crop was rice</p>
