June 2010: US History

<p>

Most people did not own slaves. The correct answer to this question (which is on the list) was that there was a large increase in slaves during this time.</p>

<p>

The question addressed the Red Scare after World War I; therefore, the correct answer was the one which described the Palmer Raids (police raids with the justice department, or something along those lines).</p>

<p>In regards to that first question I’m pretty sure it said which is NOT true…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t think so. Can anyone else confirm either way?</p>

<p>It was which is true. (slavery quesiton)</p>

<p>I just looked at the 2005 list and there’s was which is not true with the correct answer being most people owned slAves… </p>

<p>But maybe I just misread the test… Oh well</p>

<p>If I missed 2 and skipped 2, what would that probably be?</p>

<p>This is from an [old</a> thread](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/350492-general-curves.html]old”>General Curves - SAT Subject Test Preparation - College Confidential Forums), but it’s still fairly accurate. It should help people get a range of where there scores might be. It doesn’t include the Literature test

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s an 800.</p>

<p>Do we have the cartoon question with George HW Bush and a poor American man? The answer was about George HW Bush focusing on foreign issues and neglecting domestic problems.</p>

<p>Also, the question about an unique American art style…</p>

<p>Abstract expressionism was an American post-World War II art movement. It was the first specifically American movement to achieve worldwide influence and put New York City at the center of the western art world, a role formerly filled by Paris.</p>

<p>-from wikipedia. I chose abstract expressionism instead of jazz.</p>

<p>

Do you remember what the question asked for specifically? I think it asked which one was recognized first as an original American art…which would be jazz.</p>

<p>^Ah, I think you’re right. It would be jazz.</p>

<p>Hmm, any idea if -9 will be an 800? I hope so :)</p>

<p>For the question about the Berlin Airlift…are we all sure it was on the Berlin Airlift? Because i thought it was about the Berlin Wall…I picked the answer that had to do with elections in Eastern Europe or something like that…?</p>

<p>

Probably. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think the term used on the test was “Berklin Blockade.” The answer on the consolidated list is still correct, though.</p>

<p>^Yeah, the term used on the test question was Berlin Blockade.</p>

<p>Hmm, was this test relatively easier or harder than past tests? I’m wondering whether -10 (78 raw) has any chance of being an 800.</p>

<p>Yeah, it was Blockade but was that one of the options? I can’t remember all of them, does anybody?</p>

<p>what score would 17 wrong and 1 omit get? any chance of being above 750… :/</p>

<p>Regarding the jazz/abstract expressionism one, I believe the question also mentioned the early 20th century. Abstract expressionism wasn’t popularized until Jackson Pollock in the early 1940s.</p>

<p>for the skilled v. unskilled (and for whoever posted the quotation from their book) –</p>

<p>the question listed the AFL as unskilled and the KoL as skilled</p>

<p>NEW QUESTION::</p>

<ul>
<li>wasn’t there a question about jackson pollock on the test?? (he was a choice, i think)</li>
</ul>
