<p>Thanks for the Questions Blue. That’s pretty impressive. Wow… I didn’t know they reused SATs too…
Anyway, on to the questions-
9) For Quarantine I put something about stopping foreign hostilities
12) I actually put it was to stop immigration into Indian land because the one you chose said prevent conflict between Huron TRAPPERS and Indians. There were quite a few people living there as residents rather than trappers. That what I thought.
38) I didn’t get electric street cars. I can’t remember the options though. sorry.
41) I’m pretty sure that’s right.
44) I’ve no freaking idea.
54) I got business. I mainly based my reasoning off of tobacco because Jamestown/ Sir Walter Raleigh were in VA.
61) I put the panamerican to fight against Nazism.
62) No idea.</p>

<p>Other than that, I got the same answers.
Damn. for some of those answers I originally put a wrong answer. I can’t remember if I went back and changed it. I’m hoping to God that I did.</p>

<p>1-20, except #9, which I can’t remember, is what I put down. </p>

<h1>21, I totally guessed, and got it wrong :(</h1>

<p>But yea, can you elaborate on #54 and #65…I can’t exactly remember the questions.</p>

<p>For # 67…I’m not sure either, but I remember he got impeached because he removed some guy from office, and congress was like “hey, you can’t do that” - because they made the Tenure of Office Act because they knew Johnson was going to remove this guy…So yea, I guess your answer is right because I think they didn’t like him opposing the reconstruction Acts</p>

<p>oh, and for the Good Neighbor Policy one, #67, I think it was FDR’s pledge not to invade in Latin America’s affairs</p>

<p>and for #62, I’m not sure. I think I put Wilson. But I know I didn’t put Truman because when I read the question, I think I read it backwards where “what was the least likely event that affected public opinion, and therefore least likely studied by historians” – so I thought, the Atomic bomb definitely affected public opinion its views on nuclear weapons and the destruction it can cause. But now that I think back, Truman dropped the bomb kind of in secrecy, so no public opinion affected his dropping the bomb.
I read the cause and effect backwards :frowning: dammit because I read it too fast.</p>

<p>Can anyone explain 11? I was teetering on Social Gospel or Social Darwinism. I did believe I put Social Gospel in the end though. You’d think that Gospel of Wealth rather than Social Gospel would work because Social Gospel, if I recall correctly, was the Christian movement to be nice/help the poor. However, they had a reference to God, which doesn’t really mix with Darwinism.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, another question was which guy used popular sovereignty a lot. I put Henry Clay I believe because of MO Compromise and Compromise of 1850. Not entirely sure though. Could someone back me up/check that? :D</p>

<p>Crap… It may have been Stephen Douglas…</p>

<p>^ yea, it was social gospel —I can’t really remember the question though, sorry, but I know I put Social Gospel and remember thinking it can’t be Darwinism</p>

<p>And for the popular Sovereignty, it was Senator Stephen Douglass because in the famous Lincoln-Douglass debates, he argued for popular Sovereignty a lot. I had the Sparknotes US History 600 flash cards, and studied them all yesterday, and I remember they said for Douglass that he was the leading advocate - or something - to Popular Sovereignty.</p>

<p>Yeah it’s stephen douglas. And for the one about roosevelt corollary I put stop foreign intervention in Latin America. @mike 11 is Social Gospel because they felt as though christians should help the poor. As opposed to the Gospel of Wealth idea which was that people were blessed with their riches from god.</p>

<p>Screw you Stephen! D:<
Oh well… I went to bed at 5 am last night cramming because i procrastinated. >.> I’m just glad a lot of my answers matched w/ the #72 questions up there.
Cheap Collegeboard… Reusing tests… Considering they get thousands from students taking the test, you’d think they would at least make new tests.</p>

<p>My score just rests on if I actually did go back and change my answers. I can’t remember, and it’s driving me insane. @_@</p>

<p>One more question- do any of you guys know when the scores come out? Do scores come out on the same day as the regular SAT scores?
Thanks!</p>

<p>For #65 about the Equal Rights Amendment - my Sparknote flash card says “The amendment failed to be approved by three-fourths of the states and so was never added” - so I think the answer was that it was not approved by the majority of states. </p>

<p>But I can’t remember if the answer was opposed by majority of states or approved by the majority of states …</p>

<p>^ Feb. 11th, same as regular SAT… :slight_smile: same day as University of Florida Admission release Date…and right before the ACT last date for seniors Feb 12th :)</p>

<p>I think the answer choice was opposed by the majority of the states so I suppose I got it wrong. Also do you guys remember the question about what consisted of the economy of the antebellum south? Was textiles an option. If so I might have accidentally put that instead of cotton.</p>

<p>uhh I can’t remember, but i don’t think textiles was an option because I remember thinking that question was easy. I think I got 50 wrong though, and that was the one about the late south= increase in textile mills. What did you guys get for #50?</p>

<p>hmm…I’m not sure if textile was an option either.</p>

<p>But for # 50, I think I put something about canals (or one relevant question about the south vs. the north)…I remember thinking that I didn’t really know that question, though.</p>

<p>(lol ^, at first, i read that you got 50 wrong…as in you put wrong answers for 50 of them :eek: )</p>
