OFFICIAL OCTOBER 2014 SAT US HISTORY DISCUSSION THREAD

<p>All of the questions that have nothing to do with US history (like the water wheel question and the spanish-pueblo indian question) should be erased. Mostly they just take points away.</p>

<p>do you think the curve will be more lenient this year </p>

<p>@Jarjarbinks23‌ Yeah flexible response was an option. I agree, that was a ridiculous question</p>

<p>like skipping 10 = 800 still</p>

<ol>
<li> native american involvement in the american revolution? both with US and Britain?</li>
<li>The U.S. did not do the following during the Iranian revolution? sell weapons?</li>
</ol>

<p>@College4life3 pretty crazy right? I have the CollegeBoard and Kaplan’s US History guides and both of them say (-9 raw) (rarely -10) is an 800.</p>

<p>-15 raw is a 780 or a 770. I’d be a happy camper with either of the 2 scores since I know I dont have an 800</p>

<p>ya same im hoping to get a 740+. and @lollzipop‌ i put both us and britain but i skipped the iranian revolution question</p>

<p>@lollzipop‌ Both US and Britain (<a href=“African Americans in the Revolutionary War - Wikipedia”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Americans_in_the_Revolutionary_War&lt;/a&gt;)
I put that for the iranian question but it might be wrong.</p>

<p>I think they’re tightening up the curve. I took the test in May and got a 730 (72nd percentile). I’m pretty sure I answered all of them and missed 12 or 13.</p>

<p>will collegeboard care if we make a google doc for a subject test @An1100345‌ cuz i know there was one for the apush 2014 exam and it got taken down</p>

<p>I don’t think so. I only know that the ACT is tightening its grip on Google Docs and discussions about the test but I am not sure about the College Board, but someone please make one.</p>

<p>@wilguen can you turn on the doc? It’s view only.</p>

<p>@An1100345‌ Try now </p>

<p>The iran one was “reestablish diplomatic relations”. The US has not established diplomatic relations since the hostage crisis. The US did sell weapons to Iran in the Iran-Contra affair.</p>

<p>what did you guys say for the black universities? southern methodist, etc?
what about the one with the picture of the girl coming into pennsylvania’s reservation for indians. this picture promotes

  • segregation
  • assimiliation
  • cultural preservation
  • etc
    Albany plan question: unite the colonies against native americans ? declare independence? those were the choices i remember</p>

<p>@thealpha69 For the picture I chose assimilation because the native american girl was shown wearing “civilized” clothes and was getting an education, etc. And for Albany I’m pretty sure that was uniting the colonies</p>

<p>oh shoot was the girl native american?! i thought it was a causian visiting…</p>

<p>@Thealpha69 I chose assimilation… it was essentially an Americanized indian visiting her unamericanized family. For the black church I chose “African methodist episcopal” or whatever it was…anyways the church had the word “african” in it</p>

<p>By the way does anyone remember the 1865-1900 quesiton about what women supported the most?</p>

<p>The 2 close answer choices was suffrage or temperance… i chose suffrage. </p>

<p>@thealpha69 lol that’s what I thought but then I read the caption and it said the girl was visiting home or something–I don’t remember the question @jarjarbinks23 but I picked suffrage too</p>
