June 2010: US History

<p>I’m sorry guys. Pearl Harbor must have been on my practice test then, I suppose I got them mixed up.</p>

<p>What would 1 Blank and 12 Wrong be?</p>

<p>@Rohit93</p>

<p>Normally would be a 760</p>

<ol>
<li>DEBATABLE Homestead act in 1863 - dealt with speculators or “free soil, free land, free men”
~ i put down the speculators getting blocks of land…?</li>
</ol>

<p>also: the wording for the question of the oil embargo <em>did</em> have antipollution in it.</p>

<p>repost the list?</p>

<p>@rohit - but maybe (JUST maybe), it’ll be close to a 790 or an 800, since i bet the curve for this test will be better than the usual (that’s just a guess)</p>

<p>NEW QUESTION
What position doesn’t the President appoint? Attorney General?</p>

<p>For me, I think I got around that as well. 1 blank, 11/12 wrong.</p>

<p>Would be more than happy with a 750+.</p>

<p>Was a pretty hard test compared to the APUSH exam.</p>

<p>@mulberry that was already posted. answer is speaker of the house</p>

<p>I think the question you guys are missing was one of those really hard ones…
I remember i left it blank because i had no idea what the answer was… [just if any of you all remember what it was since you may have skipped it as well], I dont see it on the list</p>

<p>

  1. Speaker of the House is not appointed by the President</p>

<p>Holy crap, only 3 wrong according to that list. How did that happen?!?!</p>

<p>Grr lol okay thanks.</p>

<p>???</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Because you read encyclopedias when you were young and you have a knack for remembering things because you’re white.</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>I KID, I KID, DON’T HURT ME PLEASE.</p>

<p>But, really, I just described somebody I know IRL.</p>

<p>The one about homestead act:
the question explicitly mentioned “Republican Party Idealogy”
and their “idelogy” wasnt “giving out land to settlers”
it should be free men free soil etc</p>

<p>proof:
[Free</a> soil, free labor, free men: the … - Google Books](<a href=“Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men: The Ideology of the Republican Party Before ... - Eric Foner - Google Books”>Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men: The Ideology of the Republican Party Before ... - Eric Foner - Google Books)</p>

<p>Okay so this Asian cartoon that is supposedly about containment - I definitely don’t remember it being on the test/am freaking out about it. Would anyone care to trigger my memory (like what section of the test it was in?) Ahhhhh.</p>

<p>hey is under 10 wrong typically an 800? looking at our list i think i got 4-5 wrong… worst case if some of the debatable answers turn the wrong way is like 8</p>

<p>Can someone elaborate on the answer for the Social gospel one? Was it the one about social reform?</p>

<p>Does anyone know if the Sparknotes curve for this test is approximatley correct?</p>
