May 2011 - US History Post-Test Discussion

<p>since your life is defined by murphy’s law, do you not go downstairs every morning for fear of tripping and breaking your neck?</p>

<p>@Mango2304 Same here I thought that we could discuss them after 12pm</p>

<p>

Then I’m not quite sure why you didn’t just ask that in the first place instead of asking if anyone who took this test also took Literature. Here you go: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/1143339-may-sat-ii-literature-discussion.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/1143339-may-sat-ii-literature-discussion.html&lt;/a&gt;. And I’m not sure how you got the impression that I was being “sassy”. If you didn’t see it, read Post #364.</p>

<p>^ lol simo</p>

<p>also i remembered: chinese immigrants was gold rush?</p>

<p>Sorry I wasn’t blatant with my question. But thank you for the link.</p>

<p>

So what what your point in mentioning that you had a list in the first place if you didn’t intend to share it anyway? You read the statement that we had to sign about not discussing questions.</p>

<p>^ I don’t remember the question for that, but I think that was what I put</p>

<p>How did westward expansion contribute to the growth of the slavery? It certainly intensified the slavery question, but I don’t think it made slavery grow? Then again, the British slave trade answer seems to make more sense.</p>

<p>For the population graph, I looked at the numbers, and they were (in my mind) quite far from being doubled every 20 years in that time frame, so I put the slave importation answer, but that seems to be wrong too.</p>

<p>

No problem.</p>

<p>lol just observing about the graph question that everyone’s arguing about …</p>

<p>this is a HISTORY exam, not a math exam! i think people overthought it! it’s probably just doubling, it’s not going to be super exact lol</p>

<p>I’m calling shenanigans on born2dance94.</p>

<p>for the graph with the curve, you’re right. it wasn’t doubling every 20 years until the second half of the graph…which is what the question was asking about.</p>

<p>also, the british slave trade stopped around 1809 or something, because the constitution allowed only 20 years (? probably wrong) until congress could end it. and slavery definitely spread throughout the deep south in the antebellum years and stuff.</p>

<p>But it said it was NEARLY doubling, haha… Hopefully I got it right :frowning: </p>

<p>Gosh I suck at graph questions!</p>

<p>And I’m pretty sure the answer to the graph Q was that it was doubling. The other answers either didn’t make sense, or you would not have been able to discern them from the graph, i.e. the birth rates.</p>

<p>The section of the graph that was supposedly doubling was going up about 1.5 times at best in the interval with the most change, IMO. But I have to agree that the other 4 choices were quite a stretch. Sigh, it sucks to be a science person, LOL.</p>

<p>thats exactly the point. the graph asked u to come to a conclusion based on the date it gave. Increased birth rate may be true(it probably is), but the graph did not imply that, and it is true that population NEARLY doubled ever twenty years.</p>

<p>

I really don’t think the birth rate choice was a stretch. I don’t know if the wording of the question limited us only to direct interpretation of the graph, but the birth rate choice is probably the most historically accurate out of all of them.</p>

<p>yeah, it looked to double every 20 years</p>

<p>it didn’t look like it was doubling T__T. yeah 314 I hate being a science person as well. I think we’re all in agreement that a HIGH birth rate and a LOW death rate means increasing population. how does that not make sense? In no other circumstance does population grow unless you have loads of immigration…
and that quote I posted from wikipedia does say New England had a high birth rate low death rate
sigh. maybe I’m just overthinking it</p>
