Official SAT Subject Test - US History - June 2015

@TheAtlantic I was stuck between limiting the consumption and sale of rum in the colonies and something else that I can’t remember.

@Mango920452 Yeah, that’s what I said because the late 19th century was during the realism movement in literature.

I said that the sugar act was to control the customs thing…

I don’t think it was limiting rum. We learned in school that it was about actually enforcing the laws for once instead of continuing salutory neglect (it actually lowered taxes). One of the choices was similar to that (I want to say A but idk)

@TheAtlantic I said A, if it was the customs thing, which I think it was.

do you guys know how accurate the curve on sparknotes is?

The curve for US History is quite lenient. That being said, people tend to miss a lot of questions on this exam, similar to in World History

@Mango920452 yeah thats what I put!

Do you remember the other choices for the sugar one? I don’t even remember seeing that question

For he question whose answer was “large trusts and monopolies”, was that option B?

I think it might have been, @yesyesyes1

Did anyone else say economic and poltical for the difference b/n AFL and Knights of Labor

What was the one about the Republican Party and the Homestead Act?

@allista I don’t remember anything about that, and the Republicans didn’t exist during the time of the Northwest Ordinance. Could you elaborate?

@Mango920452 Oh, my bad. It was talking about the Republicans and the Homestead Act for the Northwest.

I said something about the “free man, free soil…” principles

What about the Red Scare question? Was it putting Hollywood filmmakers on trial?

it was the DOJ thing. read the Palmer Raids. @princessplath

Homestead act gave people land, so I put option A which had to do with land being given to speculators. @allista

can anyone gauge how difficult this test was to other versions? easier, normal, harder?
