<p>But in the second map weren’t there new slave houses that weren’t there before and didn’t belong to that same plantation owner?</p>

<p>Compromise of 1850 northern reaction –> Fugitive slave law</p>

<p>For the question about the compromise of 1850</p>

<p>wasnt the answer the choice that talked about how utah and new mexico would be left up to popular soveriegnty??</p>

<p>Was the answer for that plantation picture same as “formers slaves were equally divided…” in choices? I’m really horrible at analyzing the graphic data, so it was my attempt to guess…</p>

<p>j12collegegirl</p>

<p>It asked for the most controversial aspect of the Compromise of 1850, which, in the North, was the Fugitive Slave law, because most northerners were opposed to enforcing it.</p>

<p>I don’t think so-- the pictures showed that many slaves stayed with their masters even following the civil war (according to the key).</p>

<p>@I3auer</p>

<p>Yeah i took that into consideration when i was choosing my answer and i didnt choose that one because i remember it saying the PASSAGE of the fugitive slave act and by that time it had already been passed. The compromise of 1850 just made it harsher and stricter…</p>

<p>I dont know maybe im over thinking it haha</p>

<p>Damn. I concluded that I missed total 16-17… This is wayyy worse than I expected, but oh well. Next time, I really shouldn’t feel too confident about my knowledge. I’m gonna move on now… Thank you for all those answers and good luck, everyone!</p>

<p>i think i might have missed the one about the treaty of 1783</p>

<p>for the korean war wasn’t the answer the first war without segregation.</p>

<p>i think the question was something like which one of these is NOT true.
And I’m 90% sure it was the Guerilla warfare answer.</p>

<p>I heard that if you take a subject test twice and you want to report the second one to colleges, the first one must be sent as well. Can anyone clarify this because I will cancel my first test?</p>

<p>Is there a consensus on the 2nd Coolidge one?</p>

<p>I put the nation was on the verge of collapse lol. I thought so since he was denouncing the high tax rates and how that wouldn’t lead to success. Nothing in the passage really indicated that he thought society was very stratified, he only mentioned that the rich get taxed more without any other analysis. </p>

<p>Anyways, if that was the only one i missed and i did not omit any, can i get an 800?</p>

<p>ya you’re fine because -9 on the raw score is still an 800 and you have only -1 so you’re safe.</p>

<p>For the second Coolidge, I put down the one about arguments over government policies. I don’t know how you guys got the other answers; they seemed too extreme.</p>

<p>Oh yes, and for that chart about the tariffs, the answer is that tariffs made up a large portion of government revenue.</p>

<p>Ones I got wrong</p>

<p>Eastern Woodlands one
Nixon and China one
stratified economics 2nd coolidge
natural selection one I think I got wrong, I don’t remember if I put that or survival of the fittest, but I think I put survival of the fittest
I got the bells and whistles quote one wrong I think
I’m not sure if the land ordinance one was dividing public land or creating territories…I think I said public land though, which may be wrong</p>

<p>So I’m thinking 6 wrong, which would be 83 raw score, which is an 800
7 wrong would be an 81, which is borderline 790/800
Hoping that I got an 800, but a 790 isn’t the end of the world either</p>

<p>7 C’s in a row</p>

<p>“Nation on the verge of collapse” is probably right. Whenever you get these passages, choose the one that’s most obvious and clear, and none of that “inferrable” nonsense. </p>

<p>The language Coolidge used clearly showed his anxiety over the economic situation, and furthermore the “stratified economics” answer could not have been right because 1) there was another way too similar answer about “sharp class distinctions” and 2) the “stratified economics” answer had a second part about America being a “harmonious society”. Nowhere did Coolidge reference America being “harmonious” in the passage.</p>

<p>Also, I’m fairly certain that Taylorism was NOT the right answer.</p>

<p>Yes, the quote itself may have been about Taylorism…but the question specifically asked what it “encouraged the workers to do”. Thus, the answer could not have been Taylorism, because the workers would definitely have not been in support of subjecting themselves to that. Answer was probably “cooperation among workers”.</p>

<p>I said cooperation among workers, but I honestly doubt that now because at least 30 people on this thread have said taylorism…what are the odds of that many people aiming for high 700’s getting the same answer wrong</p>

<p>They must not have read the question properly. It wasn’t, “what does this quote mean”, it was “what did it encourage workers to do”.</p>
