OFFICIAL OCTOBER 2014 SAT US HISTORY DISCUSSION THREAD

<p>what did you think of it?</p>

<p>I thought some of the specific questions were difficult, but I also thought the majority were easy/okay.</p>

<p>I left 5 blank…</p>

<p>@missbo just because you left 5 blank doesn’t mean you didn’t do well :slight_smile: . A close buddy of mine left 5 questions blank on the Math II subject test, and he still got an 800 (the max cutoff for an 800 is -6 or -7).</p>

<p>Also was anyone tripped up by the Marxist view of Civil War question? Left that and 3-4 other questions blank.</p>

<p>Hahaha, I hope so! @Jarjarbinks23‌ And I wasn’t sure about that question either but I think I picked the answer that talked about opposing ideas or something about conflicting views but I think the answer with economics in it might have been right</p>

<p>Yeah I put the economics one.</p>

<p>Marxism states that class difference will lead to social revolution.</p>

<p>Same here for me on that economics one. What’d you guys put for that farmers association question in the 60s and 70s?</p>

<p>Do you remember what the answer choices were?</p>

<p>@dianazhao‌ it was like helped african american farmers, campaigned against environmentalist things to farm more, helped migrant workers by striking w grapes or something, and i forgot the other ones.</p>

<p>@wilguen I think the answer was the grape strike.</p>

<p>I thought this was a very hard tests compared to other ones. </p>

<p>If it makes you guys any happier, according to Collegeboard’s Study Guide,</p>

<p>-10 = 800.</p>

<p>what was the one that was not part of roosvelts first 100</p>

<p>@College4life3 lend-lease. That was in WWII.</p>

<p>100 days was focused exclusively on the Depression.</p>

<p>best thing about SAT US history is you can google all these questions, so you have a relatively clear idea of your score</p>

<p>ya but i forgot most of the questions on the test @Jarjarbinks23‌ do you remember any other ones that were hard. i wanna know roughly what score i got to see if i should cancel it or not</p>

<p>@College4life3 Here’s what I remember:</p>

<p>WHy did USA annex southern arizona (got this wrong) --> Because of railroads</p>

<p>How was Penn different from Massachusetts (colonies are a hard topic)–> Penn had religious toleration</p>

<p>What policy did Kennedy follow (confusing, got his wrong) --> Appeasement, not Detente as I thought</p>

<p>Who did the Spanish interact with in the Americas (weird question, got it correct i think) --> Pueblo Indians</p>

<p>@Jarjarbinks23‌ Kennedy’s policy was called “flexible response”</p>

<p>I didn’t think that Pueblo was a Native American nation and I thought they were trying to trick you into picking it and so I picked Pequot :/</p>

<p>@wilguen so was Kennedy a detente or an appeaser? There was no option for flexible response… or maybe I didn’t see it? :-/ </p>

<p>And look up the 1680 Pope’s Rebellion… Pueblo Indians rebelled against the Spanish. Stuff like the Spanish & Pueblo Indians is pretty obscure IMO (has nothing to do ith US history) but thats how Collegeboard plays it.</p>

<p>i picked pequot as well</p>
