November 2012 Official SAT 2 US History Discussion Thread

<p>It was NRA</p>

<p>And I was lost about that quote with the women involving the circuses. I think I picked the one that said something about it being negative for women to be portrayed as circus people when they try to give speeches</p>

<p>Did you guys know the answer to question 3? It was a quote that had something to do with the constitution…the answer I picked was Thomas Jefferson and his response to the Louisiana purchase…Other options included andrew jackson and henry clay I think</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You can be 100% sure now.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Remember anything else about the quote?</p>

<p>I also put Jefferson and the Louisiana purchase. The quote had something to do with expanding territory and getting the consent from the people.</p>

<p>I put Jefferson as well because it was talking about doing something that wasn’t stated in the Constitution.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember what you guys got for the picture about the Truman dressing on top of the red guerrillas?</p>

<p>UGH i went 50/50 on all these questions :’( I already missed a few >< I thought hamilton delt with economics and banks so i chose that one for the answer… lol</p>

<p>To the Truman question, I put whatever answer stated that Stalin lost and Truman won</p>

<p>Wasn’t that the one with the Greeks? I think the answer for that one was “the US achieved its objectives in Greece”</p>

<p>Yes, I believe hamlinkin is right</p>

<p>Oh i just remembered two Indian questions</p>

<p>-One was phrased something like, “By this (time period), the Indians had developed one of the following.”
-The other question I remembered is the one that had choices like Five Civilized Tribes and Iroquois Confederacy
What were the answers?</p>

<p>For your first question, I dont remember my answer, but I remember it was NOT stoned cities (that’s Aztecs) and it was not commercial fur trading (that occured after the french arrived)</p>

<p>I put the Iroquois for the second one</p>

<p>I put something about crops like maize for the first one, but I’m not sure about that</p>

<p>Yeah, I put Iroquois too. Are you sure about that?</p>

<p>Crappp. This test was craayyy. I’ve already missed a few judging by this thread, but surprisingly a lot less than I had originally expected. As far as the curve goes, it’s usually like -8 = 800. I wonder if there’s anyway they can bump that to a -10 = 800. LOL
REEEEAACCHH.</p>

<p>@yolokid YES that’s it that’s what I put too!
The other ones were either 1. after europeans arrived or 2. pertaining to south america</p>

<p>Edit: Here’s a source:
<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>"Beginning about 2500 BC, the crop spread through much of the Americas.[1] The region developed a trade network based on surplus and varieties of maize crops. After European contact with the Americas in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, explorers and traders carried maize back to Europe "</p>

<p>@hamlinkin
oh nice! you found a source- I really hope it is maize…</p>

<p>What score are you hoping/aiming for?</p>

<p>crazy test. just hopin for a 700+ now…lol</p>

<p>I’m really hoping for a 750. I’ve identified approximately 10 questions I got wrong, plus 1 I left blank. If I get 14 wrong, according to the sparknotes curve chart, I should get a 750.</p>

<p>Then again, judging by the response in this thread, the curve might be nice :D</p>

<p>To the greek truman cartoon I think I put, “America supported Greek guerilla warfare” The cartoon did not explicity show that they were victorious</p>

<p>Okay, guys. Let’s try to come up with an answer key with the correct answers (so we can kind of predict our scores).
Please speak up or let me know if any of the following is wrong or if you think is wrong.</p>

<li>Greek guerilla w/Truman dressing question-“the US achieved its objectives in Greece” (it was something liking having similar motives as Greece?)</li>
