<p>The question was something like</p>
<p>Why did delegates at the Cont. Congress favor a central army?</p>
<p>a.) A regular army was attractive to Yeoman farmers.
b.) Colonists had more experience with a unified army than separate militias.
c.) A regular army was cheaper to run than separate militias.
d.) The Colonies wanted to organize themselves like a European army.
e.) Something or other</p>
<p>I chose C. Anyone else?</p>
<p>Edit: Making sure I didn't directly quote the test.</p>

<p>I'm not sure, but I chose microprocessor, and according to wikipedia it was invented in the 1970's. Correct me if I'm wrong.</p>
<p>Microprocessor was clearly the correct answer for that question.</p>
<p>Ohh I remember the army question. I'm fairly certain the answer is D. Militias were cheaper to run than the regular, and I know that the army was orgaized in a manner that was extremely similar to European fighting forces with brigades, divisions, and garrisons.</p>
<p>EDIT:: Yea it was D:</p>
<p>A</a> Brief Profile of the Continental Army</p>
<p>^Fourth paragraph</p>
<p>For the other the microprocessor was definitley the correct answer... Computer science 101 and the others were obvious IMO.</p>
<p>I thought that militias had to be cheaper, but how could the colonists have wanted to organize themselves like the European army if they employed guerilla tactics alongside many Native Americans? I knew that common sense should've told me that militias couldn't possibly be more expensive, but for the reason that I stated above, I didn't think that it was a European style army.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the Marlon Brando question, that was the last one I had trouble with, but I just can't remember the choices; I think I chose something like youthful rebellion.</p>
<p>Yeah, youthful rebellion was right. Jimmy Dean gave it away.</p>
<p>Haha I thought brando gave it away, but thats because I read his wikipedia page a couple months ago after I watched the Godfather series.</p>
<p>winthrop wanted to establish a "city upon a hill"</p>
<p>wait so for the Century of Dishonor question, was the answers the Dawes Act?</p>
<p>The problem that farmers faced the most up to 1915 was overproduction, no?</p>
<p>Yeah, if I remember correctly, the Dawes Act was the only choice pertaining to Native Americans.</p>
<p>CH -
I think you're right--it was overproduction problems for farmers.
For the Continental Congress/military question I said it was because they wanted to prepare for European warfare....</p>
<p>For the Puritan one, it was because they wanted to create a model society.</p>
<p>I actually think I did okay, considering that I was planning to take World History only to find that it was not offered at my test center (?!)</p>
<p>World history is never offered in October, I'm taking it in December. All the answers you put were right wink. Overproduction was a huge problem, which is why Roosevelt later created the AAA in the first new deal.</p>
<p>What is internal improvement? I think it was the last question but I forgot what I put...</p>
<p>Yay, I got the continental army one right, simply because PR said that if in doubt, money is probably the motivator.:)</p>
<p>That is annoying, that same thing happened to me last June when I tried to take the U.S. History test standby. They ran out of books and I sat the Reasoning Test just for kicks, I focused entirely on CR and got it up to 760. </p>
<p>All things considered, I thought that the test today was very manageable; I got a few wrong, but I think that -4 should still net me an 800.</p>
<p>Feel free to post more questions, I'd be willing to go over any and all topics.</p>
<p>Crap. I though antebellum was AFTER the civil war...</p>
<p>MP -- internal improvements - public works (i.e. transportation or something?)</p>
<p>Poisonous - Yeah, I found out about World History later. I asked a lady at the test center if WH was offered and she said "yes"...I probably should have clarified about October specifically or asked somebody more "official." I haven't had US History since sophomore year and I'm a senior now X_X</p>
