The Unofficial Official New York State Regents Exams Thread!

<p>I’m taking Geometry And Chemistry…I’m Confident! I pass all my Classes With A’s</p>

<p>I’m so annoyed. I missed one question on the US regents, and I know which one it is too. I’m pretty confident in the rest of the MC and in my essays/scaffolding though. Looks like I’ll be getting a 99.</p>

<p>That sucks. :frowning: I know the feeling, that was me in Global last year.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I got at least one wrong as well :P</p>

<p>1800-1860 = north and west Europe immigration?
George Bush handled foreign policy but would have economic troubles?
Income inequality = Great Depression?
KKK, Scott something trial, McCarthy = distrust of foreigners? </p>

<p>Oh my God the one with the NRA. Government and business?</p>

<p>Speakers B and D supported Constitution.
Bob Dylan = generation gap?
Farmer poem = overproduction of crops?</p>

<p>I can’t remember any xD</p>

<p>Yep, those are all right so far.</p>

<p>The one I got wrong was the Bush/Gore one. I read it too fast and put that they split Florida, which is obviously wrong. It was that the SC factored into it.</p>

<p>I put Supreme Court :D</p>

<p>What other questions were even /semi/ difficult?</p>

<p>OH, the last question about population shifts or something. I said suburbs were growing more than cities…</p>

<p>I’m not sure which question you’re talking about. Most of the test is a blur to me right now.</p>

<p>Ones I thought were somewhat hard but got:
South before the war = states rights
FDR and Wilson question = war affects domestic policies
One with esienhower was NOT the answer with little rock but that he sent in army troops, that one almost got me.
arsenal of democracy was used by FDR to justify helping the allied nations</p>

<p>It was the very last question. “Since World War II, which of the following describes the population…” or something. The other answers were social security bankrupt, immigration decreased, and something else. </p>

<p>I put all those.</p>

<p>The essay topics were great.</p>

<p>Yeah I remember getting growth of suburbs as an answer for something so that’s probably right. Essays were fine, the DBQ was especially easy. I basically know for a fact that I got a 99. :(</p>

<p>What did you write about? Big Stick/Cuba and Abolitionist/Labor. 4 and 5 pages :P</p>

<p>I’m still worried I got something wrong too -_-</p>

<p>I did Wilson entering WWI/Truman dropping atomic bomb and Abolitionist/Labor. My thematic was like 5 pages but I was just too tired/lazy at the end so my DBQ was like 3.5ish pages. Still should be good enough for a 5.</p>

<p>We get way too much time. After the multiple choice I just sat there for five minutes and then after thematic I sat again for like ten minutes. Then I made a chart for the DBQ at a leisurely pace and took breaks between paragraphs xD I’m actually really proud of the chart. Split into three rows for each paragraph and had Document info on the left and mine on the right.</p>

<p>I wrote about Truman/Bush and Abolition/Suffrage. Pretty sure I got one M.C. wrong; so irritated.</p>

<p>Sorry to break up this whole US history thing, but…</p>

<p>This year as a sophomore, I’m taking english, geometry, chemistry, and already did global.</p>

<p>For the global regent:
I thought he multiple choice was really good, and the DBQ questions were too easy, but I almost forgot using outside information in the second essay. I chose Shi Huangdi and Louis XIV for the DBQ essay. For extra info in my essay, I talked about legalism for Huangdi and the events leading to the French Revolution for Louis.</p>

<p>What did you put for the thematic essay? They said to choose two geographic FEATURES, but I chose REGIONS, stupid mistake. I realized this at the end of my essay when I re-read the task. I originally chose Iraq and Japan, but then I chose their features. Tigris+Euphrates Rivers and natural resources (oil) for Iraq, and surrounding water and mountains for Japan.</p>

<p>US was obscenely easy. I actually think it’s possible I got 100. For the essays I did Wilson/Truman and labor/suffrage (my religion ended up making women’s suffrage/rights a major part of her class, and that document with the picture, we saw that scene in a movie, so it a fantastic leg up). </p>

<p>[National</a> Recovery Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Recovery_Administration]National”>National Recovery Administration - Wikipedia) The picture that appeared on the test- NRA.</p>

<p>Bridging industry and government -relief- I always think National Rifle Association. </p>

<p>iluvbooks, what do you think you got wrong?</p>

<p>Ginger, my friend said he wrote about the Sahara desert and the Himalaya mountains. Sounds like an awkward essay topic. Last year it was “Pick two new technologies and discuss how they influenced lalalala” and the DBQ was about genocides I never learned about.</p>

<p>I put south and east Europeans instead of north and west Europeans. :c So sad, I really thought I had a 100 in the bag.</p>

<p>Ginger, for the thematic essay I chose rivers and mountains.</p>
