Official US History January 2005

<p>who is woried about this test for tomorrow. i might get the test postponed because i life in ohio but collegeboard doen't have my test center up right now. i read sparknotes and i am going to take the practice tests all night and review my answers. im really nervous abou this test. how does everybody else think they are going to do?</p>

<p>I think sparknotes tests were very similar to the real one. I think I did better than I expected.</p>

<p>how does everybody think they did today. i left 4 blank and im hoping for a 750+</p>

<p>bumpppppppp</p>

<p>I'm hoping for 750+ as well, but I'm not so sure. I know I got a couple wrong just from going back to my Kaplan book after the test. I missed the Eisenhower massive retaliation one, the exoduster one (stupid stupid careless mistake), uhh, not sure what else.</p>

<p>I left 2 blank, and wasn't sure on a handful. I'm hoping for 750+ as well. What is an exoduster? I said african americans moving to Kansas or something. Made sense- dust bowl- exoduster.</p>

<p>pre, for that eisenhower one i put appeasement because i remember reading that in sparknotes, but when i looked through it, it was massive retaliation. there is just soooooooooooo much info to remember. i also left the exoduster, sit in one, and 2 other ones. wasn't fully sure on a about 15 of them. hoping for a 750 at least. how big of a curve do you think there is going to be.</p>

<p>Eisenhower and Dulles it said. And dulles was a big fan of brinkmanship and massive retaliation. So I'm pretty sure it is massive retaliation. I wasn't sure of the sit in one either. I said to protest segregation at lunch counters, because I vaguely remembered seeing a picture of people sitting in at a diner or something in the south.</p>

<p>Edit: Greensboro sit in was about ending segregation at lunch counters. I just looked it up.</p>

<p>In the political cartoon one, which year was the whitehouse way left? I said 1960 for Kennedy's admin. Especially because Congress was still very Republican and conservative and slow to pass a number of legislation.</p>

<p>i also put 1960. anybody else take this test.</p>

<p>i now think that question was 1980 because of the resurgence of conservatism in 1980 with reagan.
how about that question about which one of the five was not part of the suffrage movement.</p>

<p>Oh you might be right with Reagan, although I think Kennedy could be argued as well. Was 1980 a choice? I know 1940, 1948,1960, and 1992 were choices, but I forgot the last. </p>

<p>What was the suffrage question?</p>

<p>i think that cartoon question was asking what year was both the white house and cogress way right. i still put 1960 as i was rushing so i may have misread the question.
the women had choices like ida bartell, perkins gillman, chapman catt, friedan, and somebody else. i put catt but i think this is wrong. man, that test was hard.</p>

<p>bumpppppppppppppppppp
anybody else take this test in the country.</p>

<p>I put Betty Friedan for that one because the question asked about the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and Betty Friedan was known for writing the Feminine Mystique in the '60s. </p>

<p>I put 1960 for the White House too. It just seemed right at the time, but now that I think about it I'm very doubtful.</p>

<p>dang, i put catt for the women answer.</p>

<p>any other questions you guys want to talk about</p>

<p>Browns, I think it was Ida Tarbell, she was a muckraker, not a women's rights activist (correct?). Did the question give a time frame? I don't remember, I just looked at the list and was like Ida Tarbell was a muckraker, not a women's rights activist.</p>

<p>I think the point of the cartoon was which president was to the left (The Whitehouse had moved way left), while legislation was to the right. In that case, it would be Kennedy, he was liberal while the legislation was still largely Republican.</p>

<p>thank god for that cartoon question. i completely guessed without fully reading the q. that women question: i had no clue who catt and gillman were.</p>

<p>Can't remember this question either. Which president changed blacks from voting Republican to Democratic? I forget the choices, but if I heard it, I'd remember my answer.</p>
