SAT II: U.S. History Discussion May 2009

<p>

</p>

<p>I honestly forgot all the options :[</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think it must have said Pacific because otherwise, what did they put, the world?</p>

<p>If they did it’s simply not a USHistory question…</p>

<p>I still don’t know why that’s on it.</p>

<p>If it’s the first to explore the seas, plural, that’s still not something to put on an USHistory exam…</p>

<p>was voting laws a choice? i know some of the choices were bc of brown v. board of edu., voting rights doubled (i know 1 of the choices had to deal with the south, but i dont remember if it was about the doubled votes), difference in male/female voting</p>

<p>americans WERE disillusioned after WWI.
the Nye Committee concluded that (prob wrongfully) we went into war for business reasons. and most people thought it was a mistake.</p>

<p>what are the chances that we will see some of these may 2 questions on the june test? pretty big?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>OH.</p>

<p>It was something about it… increasing.</p>

<p>I remember one of them being like, “It reached 75 percent.” Which was wrong.</p>

<p>i hope it didnt say first ot systematically explore the pacific…</p>

<p>i thought when i read that it was a weird question too but i went with portugal because i thought it just said seas.</p>

<p>btw if it was the first to explore the Pacific, it would be neither Portugal nor Spain, as they dealt wth Pacific.</p>

<p>Also, add this question:</p>

<p>Why did Christopher COlumbus said the seas?</p>

<p>to find a westward route to Asia (easiest on the test)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I put Spain because Barrons said that Portugal wasn’t important.</p>

<p>Couple easy ones to add:</p>

<ol>
<li>Columbus in 1492 sailed west to get to Asia (choice A was to prove that the world was round, haha)</li>
<li>Some quote, answer is assimilation.</li>
</ol>

<p>Also, what was the answer to the question about Spanish motives for colonization? And also, the slavery question. I put something about white indentured servants arriving in insufficient numbers, but I wasn’t sure if Africans knew how to grow cotton.</p>

<p>*schoolisborning beat me to #1, heh</p>

<p>Was disillusionment really an option for which of these relates to WWI?</p>

<p>I sure hope not. Because it’s true. Lol.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Check on #2, thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Spanish motives - Manufacturing outlet was not something true (that’s the answer).
I think the answer is indentured servants? There’s an answer like that. But…well, nobody remembers the question.</p>

<p>There is, however, a question on why the British wanted to join the slave trade…</p>

<p>I put Africans knew how to grew cotton (it asked which is wrong)
Yea I think I put assimilation</p>

<p>the Spainish it asked which was wrong…and Establishing foreign markets is wrong…</p>

<p>so far i have like -12 with the anticommunists, Portugal vs. Spain, and colonial governemtns not sure about</p>

<p>Does anyone here remmeber a very long quote about “freeing the people there…and blah blah”…and it asked which place?</p>

<p>I put Phillipines, I think Japan after WWII was another choice (but it was obviously wrong)</p>

<p>what were the other choices for the colonial assemblies one? i actually don’t even remember answering this but I didn’t skip any lol</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Assemblies at first had power then lost power.
Assemblies had no power at first then gained power.
Assemblies had power over the purse of the governor.</p>

<h2>Assemblies voted for governors.</h2>

<p>Unknown 5th.</p>

<p>Nice Answer lists guys.</p>

<p>I just hope I get a 700 now. haha =(</p>

<p>This was my backup, so not that worried. (Only need 2 for UC’s)</p>

<p>I hate how i keep forgetting if I answered the answer a certain answer or just plainly skipped it! </p>

<p>So we can find out the score on the 21 according to the website
[SAT</a> Scores - View SAT Scores - Send Score Reports](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>SAT Scores – SAT Suite | College Board)
so how early should they have it up?</p>

<p>Well, I think this year the US history test was based more on the 1830’s and the Progressive Era rather than the Carter administration and events following the Watergate scandal…Nevertheless, the test wasn’t too hard…you could say it was average to easy…Luckily, I was able to study and review the front part of American history as well as the back part, following Carter’s administration…</p>

<p>schoolisborning ur thinking of the washington conference question. the choices were to free philippines, war reparations for japan, limit weapons or naval, and some other ones.</p>

<p>And settle British war debt.</p>

<p>o also i think i put alice paul for one of my answers if you want to add that to the list</p>
