<p>So…how do you guys think the scale will b on this test?</p>
<p>Is it possible to miss a couple and still get an 800? Because I think I only missed like two or three…</p>
<p>Also, I’m still confused about the “Lawyer’s Sound Money Club Picture.” Can somebody post the link for the exact picture? What evidence in it was for Coxey’s Army? I didn’t think that unemployed men would be so well dressed…</p>
<p>pbandj-</p>
<p>Ya…on the blue book scales…you can miss 10ish and still get an 800.</p>
<p>Saweeeeeet!!!</p>
<p>The scale is not that much methinks.</p>
<p>What are everyone’s thoughts on the great society / lyndon b johnson question regarding conservatism?</p>
<p>i’m glad they asked a question about who drew a SOUP CAN but they had no questions about important stuff like famous generals or battles. and they ask about who supported birth control. how in the world am i supposed to know that? DUMB questions what a stupid test. nothing about D day or the civil war or important stuff but they have garbage like that. what a joke</p>
<p>thenatural: Did you ever take an AP US history class? I mean, this test wasn’t meant to cover solely U.S. military history. So while we should have known the major wars that the U.S. has been involved in, the SAT II U.S. History test was obviously more concerned with the whole history aspect in general, which includes cultural, social, economic, political, intellectual, as well as ‘war’ issues. </p>
<p>Therefore, the Soup Can, which is an iconic painting by Andy Warhol, a famous U.S. painter, would fall under the cultural section, and the birth control issue that Margaret Sanger fought for would fall under the social aspect of U.S. history.</p>
<p>Besides, what did you expect to be asked? Surely you weren’t planning on having questions like: “What was the civil war between the Northern States of the Union and the Southern States of the Confederacy called? Name some generals on both sides” or even “What do we call June 6, 1944? Why?” </p>
<p>But maybe you were expecting something like: “What was the Manhattan project? At which universities did the research take place? Name 5 major scientific contributors.” If that’s the case, I’m sorry too, that the SAT wouldn’t test over such important information, because without the Manhattan project, who knows what the period from 1945 to now would be like? </p>
<p>Anyhow, yeah, i’m sorry they didn’t have any “important stuff” on this test. Maybe you’ll find some of that on a military history test though! best of luck.</p>
<p>So how does the Sparknotes book prepare for this? I’m aiming for 750+. Is there anything else I should look at?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>look at everything that you can get your hands on. even APUSH books are good, because the information is basically the same, it’s jsut that the SAT II is straight multiple choice.</p>
<p>“What was the Manhattan project”</p>
<p>yea that would be a good question. i knew they weren’t going to ask stuff like that, i’m just saying they should. who cares about “lawyers sound money club” pictures. ask about stuff that’s actually interesting.
for instance they could have said, “which of these were confederate generals?” then they could list 4 names per choice, and the right one has 4 real generals, while maybe the other 3 have Grant or Sherman in there (making them wrong choices.) i could defenitely make a better US history test than the college board people.</p>
<p>hey did you guys get Europe or North America for where the battles over the colonies between France and Britian started?!?</p>
<p>north america. g-washington started that baby-- well, not technically, but he did.</p>
<p>Can I get some input on the shaded map of the United States in 1900? Top answer choices included “patterns of immigration” and “wheat production”</p>
<p>Ya…wat was the answer 2 that question that showed a map of the USA with shaded regions. We got it down to immigration or wheat production</p>
<p>the shaded question was BS. couldnt be wheat production though because i think a lot of texas was shaded. actually i remeber long island was shaded completely and theres no wheat there so its got to be immigration</p>
<p>the natural-</p>
<p>Actually, at least currenlty, Texas is the third largest wheat producer in the United States. Plus, MA was completely shaded in darkly and MA is known for its production of wheat (at least during the colonial period). However, I do not remember the NYC area being shaded at all…</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>Here is a link to a map that shows wheat production by state…I think it is comparable to the map on the test.</p>

<p>I thought NYC was shaded, but I could be completely wrong.</p>
<p>Since the lower part of California was shaded as well, I thought it was the choice about foreigners…but idk</p>
<p>NYC area was shaded I’m positive. and besides if it was wheat then shouldn’t more of the midwest been shaded?</p>
