May 2011 - US History Post-Test Discussion

<p>@statlanta Yes, they did fight in segregated units. This would be later pointed out by Eisenhower in his farewell address in the need to get rid of it</p>

<p>@EmPaige, THANK YOU! I LIKE THAT ANSWER A LOT!! :slight_smile: lol sorry, i’m just really hoping for a 700. it wasn’t that hard…but i did leave 6 blank lol.</p>

<p>But I doubt you got 30 wrong.</p>

<p>Is it possible to get an 800 with 80/90? -10?</p>

<p>Nostalgic, that’s not the logic that a HUGE amount of people used. :confused: If they meant exactly doubled, why couldn’t they just say doubled? And birth rates couldn’t be determined by the graph either… there’s also the idea of immigration.</p>

<p>Wasn’t the Nixon Watergate thing the separation of powers?</p>

<p>are you serious? it said nearly double? boooo i failed then. :(</p>

<p>would getting 6 questions wrong be a 790 or 800? so… -7.5 points = 82.5</p>

<p>was the answer for one of the questions (i think it was like question 3) abolitionists? does anyone remember the question?</p>

<p>also, was there a question asking why the treaty of versailles was not supported or something? </p>

<p>omg i took like 10 practice exams for us history in the last ten days b/c of the ap and the sat and the questions are all kinda merging together… ■■■ haha</p>

<p>@bayaltobari, for the nixon/watergate question, i answered with the executive privilege answer…</p>

<p>Alright, enough about that question, although I still believe that I’m correct.</p>

<p>No, you’d get a 790. @alex</p>

<p>If you knew the general trend from the period, you would have known it as a combo of some immigration and mainly natural increase. That’s common sense in terms of demographics. High birth rate means you have a bigger population. Since there was no choice about immigration, the immigration argument is negligible. </p>

<p>I don’t think nearly doubles means x1.5. It means more on the verges of 1.8-2.2x. Which the graph didn’t do later on(I checked that, twice).</p>

<p>Honestly, the question depends on what you think nearly refers to. I also put doubled at first, but then later on since it didn’t nearly do that I put the high birth one because it did explain a rise(which we all know was there)</p>

<p>Honestly though guys, I’m 99% sure the answer is doubled. So I think we can stop arguing about it lol. I’m still going to report it for ambiguity.</p>

<p>@ anasera
if you’re talking about the gag thing in congress, i think the answer was abolitionism. that definitely wasn’t #3 on my test though</p>

<p>also, what’s the cutoff for 800 usually?</p>

<p>Lol this may be a quite stupid question, but what else did the Dec/ Independence promise?</p>

<p>Absolutely destroyed that. Maybe 1 or 2 wrong.</p>

<p>what were the other answers for the gag rule question? o.o</p>

<p>@EmPaige
omg THAT question… I wasn’t sure. :frowning: now I feel stupid too haha.</p>

<p>I really don’t remember what I wrote. I was like …hmmm I’m either really dumb or this is a little tricky. But I really don’t recall the answers.</p>

<p>for the amendment one, did you guys put the child labor regulation? and also, for the korean war one, they did sign an armistice, right? i mean, that’s why we have a north and south korea…i put that one, but i was stuck between the one that said they were bogged down by a guerrilla warfare…</p>
