NY U.S. History Regents

<p>For those of you who took the regents...
You've got to be kidding me.
I think we may have been blessed with the easiest essay questions ever produced on the regents EVER.</p>

<p>hahahah let's write about turning points and mass media. but they had no yellow journalism =(.</p>

<p>but I threw IN yellow journalism in the essay for my outside information, and bonus points for mentioning pulitzer.</p>

<p>You mean no examples of yellow journalism on the DBQ? That's good though, because then it counts as outside info.</p>

<p>My friend wrote about the Checkers speech and I am SO MAD I didn't think of it.</p>

<p>Both of my essays were so long it was ridiculous. I wrote about The Jungle, Unsafe at Any Speed, and the photos of tenament housing as just a couple of sources of outside info. On the thematic I used Black Tuesday and September 11th as my turning points. What'd you guys use?</p>

<p>It was almost too easy, especially because there was so much stuff you could write about. After APs I have trouble taking regents seriously. </p>

<p>For the DBQ I talked about the Spanish-American War and how it was pretty much started by yellow journalism (you give me the pictures, I'll make up the war), etc, and how today Bush doesn't want people to videotape bodies being sent home from Iraq because it presents a negative image of what is happening. </p>

<p>For the thematic I used the adoption of the Constitution and the US's entry into WWI (and the end of isolationism).</p>

<p>o yeah it was really easy i went to the bathroom 5 times during the essay cuz i kept fallin asleep it was alright but i know i didnt do so good on the essay although on the multiple choice it was incredibley easy. If any1 finds a copy of the US regents like they did for math b and other ones please tell me.</p>

<p>the regents on the whole part was easy. the mc was a cinch. for the thematic, i did the end of reconstruction and the new deal. for the dbq, i did how the media can unite people but at the same time cause protest among the people. (oustide info included march on washington and kent state college)</p>

<p>The AP exam definitely makes me laugh at the Regents even more than I already did.</p>

<p>Well...got my grade on the test today...only a 98. :P</p>

<p>A 98? Only terrorist scum would know so little about US History as to get a 98! :P</p>

<p>I'm waiting for my score back. High 90s will definitely boost my average.</p>

<p>I just found out that I got a 99. It's going to drive me crazy not knowing what I did wrong.</p>

<p>you wrote about the spanish american war?? i thought the dbq was supposed to be 1900s?? the multiple choice wasn't so bad though. </p>

<p>did anyone take physics today??? i have never been so nervous!!. some of the multiple choice were kind of tough i thought</p>

<p><you wrote="" about="" the="" spanish="" american="" war??="" i="" thought="" dbq="" was="" supposed="" to="" be="" 1900s??="" multiple="" choice="" wasn't="" so="" bad="" though.=""></you></p>

<p>Hah. I knew there was something I missed in the essay question. That's what you get for not reading carefully. Still, 1898 is almost 1900.</p>

<p>As for physics, I'm just glad its over.</p>

<p>i hate living in New York state...</p>

<p>regents pretty much suck &&
are a complete waste of my time...
cause all that time studying for a stupid test...
i swear, i hate regents.</p>

<p>Umm...that's why you don't study for them.</p>

<p>I got a 99 on history 95 on english, just found out</p>
