<p>14 left! :smiley: you guys have amazing memories, THANKKS!</p>

<p>I don’t think the list has MLK’s letter on it either? answer was the one about not being patient</p>

<p>lol wow I actually find recalling questions quite amusing… Dang, I need a life :p</p>

<p>oh yeah! I forgot to include that one because mainly I was confused to what the answer was when i was reading over the forum and I couldn’t remember the wording of the answer on the test xD tyty it was one of the first questions discussed i think</p>

<p>You do realize that the people who make these tests REUSE questions, right? These will probably appear on future AP exams, since the same people make them. If anyone official saw this, you’d be done for.</p>

<p>^You do realize that this goes on each month for all exams College Board? If this really would create an issue the CC mods would be all over us.</p>

<p>Mango, I don’t think the Marshall Plan question was on the test. However, there was a question about the Truman Doctrine (it affirmed the US’ commitment to containing Communism).</p>

<p>haha I guess I should stop then… :D</p>

<p>Quick question: (this was probably asked already but just for clarification) what would be the curve for this test?</p>

<p>Like, minus this many (raw) = 800
minus this many = 790
minus this many = 780
etc.
Thank you ahead of time!</p>

<p>i remembered two more but i think they’re from friday. anyway,</p>

<ul>
<li>why did wilson win the election of 1912? roosevelt’s orogressive party</li>
<li>the american system was most like whose policies? hamilton</li>
</ul>

<p>So if I missed 12, what am I looking at?</p>

<p>

The first one was from Friday. The second one might have been from Friday too, but I do believe there was a question about either Henry Clay or the American System on today’s test.</li>
</ul>

<p>^those were on the AP</p>

<p>And did anyone notice that the Tammany Hall/Spoils System quote question was word for word the exact same question that was on the first released SAT 2 practice test?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Somewhere around 760-770.</p>

<p>Oh, another one:</p>

<p>The GI Bill of 1944 provided for which of the following? I was between lifetime pension and guaranteed education or something like that. I picked the education option.</p>

<p>

correct!!!</p>

<p>& confused (to the post below)</p>

<ul>
<li>i think the women returning home so that veterans could get back to work was on the ap test. pretty sure.</li>
<li>yep, i think that was on today’s…? question was something like “what happened during WWI”</li>
</ul>

<p>Wasn’t there a question about women after world war 2? Like they returned to home so men could do jobs, or something… </p>

<p>and one of the answer choices for this question African Americans moving to north for industrial jobs… I completely forgot the question tho. =/</p>

<p>

What question number on what form?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Something dealing with WWI.</p>

<p>And the African-American answer was right; blacks began to move North and West starting with WWI.</p>
