<p>mmm does anyone know the curve to the 09 test that’s apparently the same as ours? i’d assume its the same right?</p>
<p>Dude, guys. The answer was definitely the Netherlands.</p>
<p>I totally agree and bet my whole GPA that swebber and acttester are correct! no joke seriously</p>
<p>Hmm. Well, I guess if everyone agrees that it didn’t mention New World, I’m willing to admit I might be wrong.</p>
<p>No, Im with you Practical. It said new world.</p>
<p>yeah sames. anyone know the curve though? based on 09?</p>
<p>Not sure. Prolly -8=800. When we get scores back?</p>
<p>no idea… so thats 7 wrong right? and no skips?</p>
<p>wait what is the most generous curve for us history?</p>
<p>Not to scare those in line with the consensus, but I think the answer for the question regarding the Lowell Mills is debatable. Separate spheres definitely stretched beyond on the home, in particular, in factories all the managerial positions were held by men, no exceptions. Further, Lowell’s mills were the worst offenders in this regard, because they hired almost exclusively young women for the factory floor jobs (when compared to Slater and his family system).</p>
<p>Regarding Spain vs. Portugal, I recall specifically rereading the question to make sure there was no reference to the new world or America before I ultimately choose Portugal. Also, to those that say Portugal’s pre-Columbian exploration wasn’t important to “American” history, would you also argue the Magna Carta wasn’t important? How about the influence of Anglo-Saxon tribes on England’s style of government?</p>
<p>Another question I feel should be more debatable in nature than decided is the JFK/Nixon/McCarthy, all three were highly decorated in the second world war. In terms of these fellow’s anti-communist tendencies, they were all certainly anti-soviet. However, Nixon, despite gaining popularity through McCarthyism, not only opened a US-Soviet dialogue with his Detente policies, but also opened trade and finally recognized the equally communist China. Obviously, both answers could be considered/are correct, the right answer really depends on what the collegeboard was looking for with the question.</p>
<p>One last thing, during the Great Depression many women were forced out of the workplace, to make room for men. At the height of unemployment it was looked down upon for women to be collecting paychecks when many husbands, and therefore entire families, couldn’t.</p>
<p>Anyway, just some food for thought, I was simply taken aback by how quickly a “consensus” was reached on some questions. If SAT scores prove anything, the majority of people will be wrong :P</p>
<p>you’re so wrong lol…</p>
<p>Nozick, the picture provided in the test doesn’t support your assertion about industry work. You are overthinking the jfk/nixon/mccarthy question. I don’t recall any of them being highly-known for their military experience. The answer you suggest for the last problem is more of a post-WWII occurence, which is why i eliminated it.</p>
<p>Mccarthy joined the military to gain fame…that did not occur. He was known as tail-gunner Joe. Didn’t do much at all in the war…</p>
<p>nah, you’re wrong man.</p>
<p>Look it up before you tell me i’m wrong.</p>
<p>No, I wasn’t talking about you bro.</p>
<p>oh… my apologies then. I got really confused and thought that you suddenly switched sides.</p>
<p>lol no I was telling the other dude he was wrong. Anyone know when we get our scores? Im dyinggg!</p>
<p>June 23rd i think?</p>
<p>We get our scores in 10 days, according to College Board</p>
<p>too…long…</p>
