May SAT II US History 2012

<p>does anyone recall what the ww1/mexico question was, and the answer choices? I seriously cannot remember it…</p>

<p>I am taking this in June and I was wondering what you guys would recommend that I use to study and focus on studying?</p>

<p>^Study obscure Native American questions… just kidding.</p>

<p>Pray to the CollegeBoard gods that you’ll get an easier test.</p>

<p>None of the Native American questions were particularly obscure, in my opinion.</p>

<p>…on the other hand cattle ranching was definitely a pain.</p>

<p>Does anyone know why slavery increased was it due to the slaves being more “expertised” on cotton or due to the lack of indentured servants</p>

<p>Sent from my HTC PH39100 using CC</p>

<p>Honestly I doubt it was Slaves are more expertised because if you think about it farming dosn’t require skill, just lots and lots of hard manual labor. What would you guys think 69 would be? (18 wrong, no omits)</p>

<p>I have a question on the one with colonial governments. I was stuck between town meetings and church leaders because as I remember it, the question said specifically seventeenth-century and New England (or like Northeast colonies). I could be wrong however haha. But I thought since it’s the 1600s and it’s in New England where the Puritans ran basically a theocracy, I put church leaders. Sigh, I probably got this wrong but does anyone remember what they put? I know town meetings seem like the more obvious answer because they are quintessential of colonial governments.</p>

<p>Yea it was town meetings. That was basically how local gov decisions were made back the</p>

<p>curve anyone?
what do you think a raw score of 64 will be? any chances of 700+?</p>

<p>According to Sparknotes, a 64 raw score is usually a 700 exactly. I don’t know how accurate that is but expect a 680-720 range.</p>

<p>have anyone answered the cartoon where there was a “lowell” sign on it?</p>

<p>How accurate is the Sparknotes curve? The Official CB Study Guide published in 2010 has 81 as the cutoff for an 800. This is echoed by Kaplan and Princeton Review.</p>

<p>But someone on CC said the “general consensus” is that the USH curve has been tightening in recent years (citation needed). I really, really hope that Sparknotes is wrong for once.</p>

<p>^Ashean: was that the factory one with two pictures - one of a woman at a loom, the other of a man/child?</p>

<p>The answer was E) opportunities available for both men and women in factories.</p>

<p>alluriste, whoever said that “the curve is tightening is recent years” was most likely referencing Larry Krieger, who in his prep books points out that his students have reported a tougher curve. </p>

<p>the sparknotes curve is quite accurate, but considering how tough this one was, there’s a possibility that 80 might be the cutoff for an 800.</p>

<p>just kidding…I just really really really want an 80 to be an 800…</p>

<p>EDIT: actually, I think I was the one who said the curve was tightening a while ago. and yeah, it was Larry who I got that from.</p>

<p>

Do you really think this test was “tough” relative to previous tests? I’ve never taken CB-administered tests before, so I have no point of reference. But if you have, I hope you’re right!</p>

<p>Guys I feel like the curve is going to suck considering that many people studied the 2009/2011 exam and knew some answers… Sucks to be us.</p>

<p>nobody studied 2009/2011, they aren’t even released… the best one could do if read CC posts, but even then, how would one know that was the exam… It will most likely be a curve were 79 raw = 800.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>really? :smiley: have you known any tests with that curve before? that’d be a really nice curve.</p>

<p>what do you guys think 3 wrong and 0 omits would be?</p>
