*Official* US-History Sat II 10/05

<p>No... I think that joint stock companies were formed before the founding of Roanoke</p>

<p>One of the choices was suspending new colonies. I put that although I think its now wrong</p>

<p>I guess I'm weird or something but I didn't think this was that hard. Maybe its becasue i just took Math 2 and I was really relieved to be doing an easier test IMO ( I never do well on standardized math.. or at least above 750).
Anyways I finished in about 35 minutes.. I didn't think there were a lot of hard questions, just some iffy ones, and a couple of weird specific facts.
Some I got: 1854 map, SC map, tenement=ashan, red cross, settlement=um.. the one that wasn't sanger or mott the 3rd woman. const=slaves. original immigrant questions: Italians, they didn't start coming en masse till early 1800s. later ones: weren't from scotland anymore. 1920s= quotas on s/E europe. The reagan was disregard for the poor, the Brink one was nuclear arms race/brinkmanship, all true of labor except for AFL dying, urban i got CBD since eliminate is extreme, taft=dollar diplomacy, puerto rico and phillipines by force, lowell in first half= women, i put iriquos as advanced government, FDR sent surplus supplies to allies (lend-lease) wasnt covert, NRA= regulation and recovery, the one on sense experience was transcendentalism (not prag because it also implied its done through intuition and not science/Enlightenment). I can't think of any others right now.</p>

<p>i put pragmatism. how does "experience" imply intuition.</p>

<p>for the marxist one, i put something about slaves being oppressed?</p>

<p>For Regan I put the communication with all people choice becuz he was called da great communicator?</p>

<p>I think the immigration one was Scotland. Italy I guess was part of the Southern nd Eastern people that were barred by the National Origins Act so I guessed Italy would be one of them.</p>

<p>Roanoke settlement: I put no colony tried if for another 100 tears but I was wrong. It was the joint stock company.</p>

<p>The pushing off the cliff question: It was dated if anyone read the caption like 1953 so I eliminated stuff dealing with UN and WWII. I picked nuclear ties or something like that.</p>

<p>Person on a platter: Lack of US support for the Greek anit-communist forces?</p>

<p>Jane addams - house movement</p>

<p>albany plan of union - afraid they are goign to lose their sovereingty.</p>

<p>Over all this test was really hard. There were not enough questions from the WWII-Cold War era. Hope the curve will be really generous.</p>

<p>Arrgh. i <em>know</em> i did reeally well on this test. but i had to cancel it because i took stupid, stupid MathII right after and screwed it up royally. Damn. I'll hafta take it again in November. </p>

<p>The test wasn't that hard- i used sparknotes, and it was about the same level of difficulty. The only one I completely had no idea about was the Ashcan school...googled it when i got back...something about new york artists who depicted the ordinary things of life. </p>

<p>(For those of you who used Sparknotes, did you notice a <em>huge</em> amount of questions on labor unions on the practice tests? They are not my favorite part of history, and i kept missing those. I can't really recall a lot of union questions of the SAT though.)</p>

<p>Whatev. Retake will hopefully go even better.</p>

<p>what was the group of indian tribes: there were 5 tribe alliance or somethign liek that + sioux + iroquis?</p>

<p>Yes, there were a lot of questions about labor unions in sparknotes. Why didn't you say that your calculator malfunctioned? If you did, you could have kept the US History score.</p>

<p>what was the labor force for colonies in 1670 ?: i eliminated down to native americans and indentured servants</p>

<p>textile industry: women and children or women and men</p>

<p>it was definitely indentured servants</p>

<p>nice..</p>

<p>what about this question:
who emerged from the kansas nebraska act (or some other act or event):
know nothing
WHIGS (what i put)
federalists
blah blah</p>

<p>Jose:
IceDragon is right it was the indentured servants. I am pretty sure textile industry was women and children becuase the states were fighting to make child labor laws and women was a given.</p>

<p>i put republicans</p>

<p>NO...that was Know Thing PArty. Whig party was formed during Jacksons Presidency over the Bank recharterment. If anyone has the Kaplan book it has it in the chapter containing the KS/NE Bill that t gave birth to the Know Nothings.</p>

<p>I think it was the compromise of 1850 and I put Republicans.</p>

<p>Women and children. I'm positive!</p>

<p>I definitely felt I did completely terrible. I made "educated guesses" on tons of the questions. But looking back at what all of you are saying are the right answers, I got most of them right! So hopefully I'll end up not doing <em>too</em> terribly. I thought it was a bit harder than Sparknotes, though, although using Sparknotes was very helpful.</p>

<p>hmm..
for the kansas nebraska question, was it the disintegration or formation of a party.</p>
