June 2010: US History

<p>^Same, haha. THat’s why I’m like…“why don’t i remember this?” **** though, it’s gotta be an obvious one.</p>

<p>damn im looking at a 760ish… i’m disappointed, i felt i did well enough for the 800. oh well i guess it will be decent compared to my math score =/</p>

<p>This test was MUCH easier than I expected. Crash Course was pure gold for this test.</p>

<p>Yeah I’m looking at a mid-700s score… I’m happy with that though. I walked out of the test thinking I bombed it. But I took a closer look at the curve and even if get a 70/90, which is 16 wrong, I still have a 740.</p>

<p>What do you guys think about 5 skip and maybe 7 wrong is? </p>

<p>And yeah, this test was harder than the May one for sure, but I wasn’t prepared at all for the May one so hopefully I did better on this.</p>

<p>compliation, please? (if anything has changed) thnx :)</p>

<p>Haha now I think I’m officially paranoid - in no way do I remember any picture with the words “stop communism” or a man with a sword/dagger/whatever. The only pictures that I do remember were the massive retaliation and the woman with all of the goods in her basement, along with the various charts/graphs. Gosh all of the other questions that you’ve posted I completely remember. And if it was a picture, it should have been pretty obvious (as in BIG?). I’m guessing the SAT Subject Tests don’t have different forms/questions though, correct?</p>

<p>Well thanks for describing it everyone - I hope I didn’t skip a page or something… yikes. =/</p>

<p>Blacks Law, I remember the Berlin Airlift question clearly - however, I don’t think mine had a Berlin Wall one? Hmm.</p>

<p>i got this off wikipedia
The unions of the AFL were composed primarily of skilled workers; unskilled workers, African-Americans, and women were generally excluded. The AFL saw women as threatening the jobs of men, since they often worked for lower wages. The AFL provided little to no support to women’s attempts to unionize and affiliate themselves with the parent union.</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure all the tests are composed of the exact same questions, just in different orders. and the containment picture and question took up a whole side of a page i believe.
but nobody ever figured out the last 2 questions??</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I believe the answer used the word “manufacturing” and the answer was E…can anyone confirm this?</p>

<p>^That was for something else but I can’t remember, lol.</p>

<p>^^^ Okay thanks. :slight_smile: The order on the first page of this thread (with the first question as city upon a hill and last question with George H.W. Bush cartoon) was the same as mine - so let me just double check: only 90 questions on this test, correct?</p>

<p>Gahh thank you all for bearing with me.</p>

<p>@InvisibleMonster i don’t remember the word manufacturing in the answer, but i believe the correct answer was about merchants and going bankrupt because they couldn’t trade with Britain</p>

<p>yup aereeod, only 90 questions :)</p>

<p>Are we sure that the AFL v. KOL question is econ v. political?</p>

<p>According to wikipedia, “The Knights strongly supported the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Contract Labor Law of 1885, as did many other labor groups, although the group did accept most others, including skilled and unskilled women of any profession.”</p>

<p>Whereas, as quoted above, “The unions of the AFL were composed primarily of skilled workers; unskilled workers, African-Americans, and women were generally excluded. The AFL saw women as threatening the jobs of men, since they often worked for lower wages. The AFL provided little to no support to women’s attempts to unionize and affiliate themselves with the parent union.”</p>

<p>Seems like a topic that needs to be discussed?</p>

<p>Continuing on what I just posted, straight out of my kaplan book:</p>

<p>“Industrial unionists believed that the key to success lay in organizing skilled an unskilled workers in a specific industry. An important early industrial union was the Knights of Labor.”</p>

<p>as opposed to</p>

<p>“The American Federation of Labor, founded by Samuel Gompers in 1886, was a coalition of craft unions. Craft unions, such as Gompers’ cigar makers’ union, attempted to organize skilled workers in a particular field.”</p>

<p>Seems to overwhelmingly support that the correct answer was skilled vs. unskilled workers.</p>

<p>before i took the test i looked at answers from 5 years ago and at least 35 of the questions were exactly the same. the AFL vs. KoL was on there and it was economic vs. political because the AFL wanted their bread and butter issues but the KoL was more radical and almost socialist, and they had some crazy strikes like the haymarket bombing and were more political whilst headed by terence powderly</p>

<p>I don’t believe it is economic v. political. From American Pageant: “The Knights of Labor…refused to thrust their lance into politics. Instead, they campaigned for economic and social reform…”</p>

<p>Later: “Gompers (The head of the AF of L)…shunned politics for economic strategies and goals.”</p>

<p>Ok, and where did you get these “answers from 5 years ago”</p>
