May SAT II US History 2012

<p>As St. Augustine (Spanish) was the first settlement in North America, I would think that Spain would be the first European country to colonize.</p>

<p>@spk The one that said which wasnt a goal on Spanish colonization I think. The answer was manufactured goods something I think.</p>

<p>This thread makes me feel more confident about most of my guesses, except the polio one, which I totally knew, but since I was looking for polio I skipped over poliomyelitis because I just thought “big word, not polio”… argh. </p>

<p>What was the second new deal one? I don’t even remember that at all from my textbook. </p>

<p>Also, I think the Spanish exploration one was about manufactured goods and trade, because bullion was definitely a purpose of exploration. </p>

<p>I’m feeling 720ish, which I’m fine with.</p>

<p>More questions?</p>

<p>I blanked on the what the two major political parties agreed on?
I thought it might be the chinese exclusion but left it blank</p>

<p>Also, was there a variation of questions on different tests? I have no idea what some of you are talking about in terms of a feminism quote and some of these Cold War questions…(other than the Abigail/John Adams one)</p>

<p>What wasn’t a motive for spanish motivation? Why don’t I rememberrrrr</p>

<p>@spkrap322</p>

<p>In their platforms, both major parties equivocated on the currency question and tepidly endorsed civil service reform, while supporting generous pensions for Civil War veterans (on the Union side - not for Confederates) and the exclusion of Chinese immigrants. Both parties ignored the growing problems of debt-burdened farmers and powerless laborers. The Republicans called for protective tariffs; the Democrats for tariffs “for revenue only.”</p>

<p>Yeah same. Probably 710-720 ish.
I looked over polio too.</p>

<p>Dang! So chinese was right?</p>

<p>@spkrap322: “What wasn’t a motive for spanish motivation? Why don’t I rememberrrrr”</p>

<p>-- It was the thing about how the Spanish were seeking new places to sell manufactured goods… that is a time-period mix-up since “seeking new places to sell manufactured goods” is a American imperialism motive.</p>

<p>… and yes, chinese was right.</p>

<p>…my score on this is becoming increasingly questionable…</p>

<p>the chinese exclusion act one.
the answer was E with the two political parties agreed on?</p>

<p>Have a couple questions:</p>

<ul>
<li>Walt Whitman passage… was he a Romantic rejecting reason? </li>
<li>Major reason of the decline in American population? Put starvation but thinking disease now.</li>
<li>Underlying theme in Wilson’s Fourteen Points?</li>
</ul>

<p>Praying to all that is holy for a 730+… Might have to take it again. Could have SWORN I was prepared for anything.</p>

<p>@soyeah basically no one has come on here yet being extremely confident in this test which further points to it being a very lenient curve.</p>

<p>“major reason of the decline in population”…I don’t remember this one, can you elaborate?</p>

<p>I put the reason on for whitman</p>

<p>Seld determination for wilson</p>

<p>Disease for number one.
I saw the first question on the test and the like fourth one about native americans and didn’t feel all that good…</p>

<p>^^^ wasn’t that one the first question on the test? the decline in population one</p>

<p>Whitman was a deist rejecting reason (not sure about reason but 100% for deist)
I put disease and self determimation for Wilson</p>

<p>What’d u put for international conference in dc in 1920s?</p>

<p>He was a pragmatist.
He was exploring reasoning.
It was disease.
Self-determination</p>

<p>@swaggerjoe</p>

<p>It was literally the first question (on my test at least) and it asked what was the major reason for the decline in the population of the Americas in the 1500s. The only two feasible choices were that European diseases decimated the Natives or that starvation and poor survival skills doomed the Europeans. I put starvation but in retrospect I think disease was the better choice.</p>
