<p>Good luck to everyone tomorrow!!</p>
<p>I got like a 750 on Barron’s…which is like 20x harder than the actual test. I feel so accomplished! Good luck to ya’ll. I’ma try some sparknotes practice tests, Idk how they compare to the real thing.</p>
<p>I just started studying, going to be a fun night. 
Shooting for a 750 +.</p>
<p>Hahahahahaha don’t worry about the “except” question mistake OP. It happens to everybody (myself included).</p>
<p>I’m done!! it was pretty hard, guessed on alot. now time to wait for embargo to be unlifted</p>
<p>do u know when the embargo is lifted? bc i jus finished it and wanna talk about it haha</p>
<p>btw: how do you calculate raw score?</p>
<p>i know I am like spamming this thread but I was wondering what this would result in: 2 questions skipped, and about 13-14 wrong (am I looking at a score above 700 or is that just wishful thinking?)</p>
<p>Ah, some of the questions were really easy then the rest were a bit tricky for me (much, much guessing), though I don’t even really remember the test because I wasn’t feeling good… It figures the day I have an SAT II, I get a cold and headache. 
Hope everyone else did great!</p>
<p>@Eagles<em>for</em>life: that looks like above a 700 to me. According to Sparknotes:
Raw Score Scaled Score<br>
90 800
89 800
88 800
87 800<br>
86 800
85 800
84 800
83 800
82 800
81 790
80 790
79 790
78 780
77 780
76 770
75 770
74 760
73 760
72 750
71 740
70 740
69 730
68 720
67 720
66 710
65 700
64 700
63 690
62 690
61 680
59 670
58 670
57 660</p>
<p>This isn’t the exact curve that CB will scale on, but it seems that if your score predictions are accurate you will be above a 700 =)</p>
<p>I took it today…I feel like I did well, but I am open to retaking in June if its bad.
Also, the moderators are the ones who lift the embargo. I don’t know when they will.</p>
<p>Raw score is calculated:
(number correct)-(.25 x number missed)=raw score</p>
<p>Anybody catch that question that used the term “antebellum” (before the war) without giving any sort of context? I mean, I’m sure most of the people who took it got it but they should definitely be more clear in their phraseology…</p>
<p>^embargo has not yet been lifted. just letting you know =)</p>
<p>*** is embargo?</p>
<p>Embargo Act of 1807 is codified at 2 Stat. 451 and formally titled “An Embargo laid on Ships and Vessels in the Ports and Harbours of the United States”. The bill was drafted at the request of President Thomas Jefferson and subsequently passed by the Tenth U.S. Congress, on December 22, 1807, during Session 1; Chapter 5. Congress initially acted to enforce a bill prohibiting imports, but supplements to the bill eventually banned exports as well.</p>
<p>the embargo was lifted, why is nobody discussing the test! ill start here are a few i had trouble with:</p>
<p>1) There was a quote and it was like do away with capitalism, i put the IWW but i think that was wrong
2)ive NEVER seen anything about some guy in california and grapes in any review book or my book
3)what was the answer to the foreign policy common to the 1930s and 1950s? I thought it was isolationism at first until on the previous page I saw from 1950 a cartoon for a bomb so I decided against isolationsim and put involvement in Latin America
4) Before European colonists arrived, did Native Americans practice fur trapping?
5) The biggest problem for farmers in (I forgot what time period) was? overproduction???
6) The main purpose of the embargo and non intercourse act were: i put to trigger england to declare war but im pretty positive that im wrong on that one too</p>
<ol>
<li>I put the IWW too but I’m not sure.</li>
<li>That was Cesar Chavez. Lucky I had that in my APUSH book xD</li>
<li>I have no idea</li>
<li>I didn’t put that…what were the other choices?</li>
<li>I put overproduction too.</li>
<li>That was the thing about staying neutral in the GB & France conflict (choice E?)</li>
</ol>
<p>bleh I have other questions but I have to think of them first…</p>
<p>3) i said involvement in Latin America too but I’m not too sure either
4) they did, but i’m pretty sure the question said something about them creating a market for the fur or something. i chose domesticating vegetables
6) this was to avoid war with France and Britain</p>
<p>2)ive NEVER seen anything about some guy in california and grapes in any review book or my book
Cesar Chavez. Def. </p>
<p>3)what was the answer to the foreign policy common to the 1930s and 1950s? I thought it was isolationism at first until on the previous page I saw from 1950 a cartoon for a bomb so I decided against isolationsim and put involvement in Latin America
That’s what I put. </p>
<p>6) The main purpose of the embargo and non intercourse act were: i put to trigger england to declare war but im pretty positive that im wrong on that one too
They both involved trade with Britain and France and that choice was the only one that addressed those countries so I went with that too. </p>
<p>Anyone remember the question that asked what women did not do during some time period?
One choice was about lynching and another involved the Equal Rights Amendment. The latter’s choice may involve ratification of it. Anyone remember it?</p>
