SAT II: U.S. History Discussion May 2009

<p>It was harder than the two released practice tests, so hopefully 800 is ~ 79/90.</p>

<p>My clock didn’t work and I had Hilary Clinton’s twin sister as a proctor. And the class was segregated. All the asians (a good 10-15 of them) sat on the right and all the whites sat on the left. AWKWARD.</p>

<p>lol there was some construction going on outside the school, the room smelt like carbon monoxide (though not really but like some chemical … maybe gasoline). </p>

<p>anyways, i hated the test. was really surprised with some of the questions they had on there.</p>

<p>When do scores come out?</p>

<p>Scores come out in 19 days, right? So, May 21st?</p>

<p>REA: CC helped a ton</p>

<p>I’m currently studying for my AP test with the Amsco book. Do you guys think I need another book? Like the PR one? (USH)</p>

<p>CC helped a lot but hurt me on one of the easiest questions…</p>

<p>Test was definitely harder than the official practice tests. CC was a big help. When can we discuss the test?</p>

<p>How many did u guys skip? I skipped 2.</p>

<p>I didn’t skip any but I know I missed one so far, unsure about ~5, maybe 8 lol of them</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Skipped 3-4. Answered about ~40 wrong, though.</p>

<p>Embargo lifted. What the hell did you guys get for the dumb British support question? I picked E. I had a feeling it is Iroquois (i think C), though.</p>

<p>When can we discuss? I’m from the West Coast and people are almost done testing with their third subject in another hour or so.</p>

<p>you can start posting now…
