<p>So...that test...was pretty much ridiculous...I was not expecting it to be THAT high of a level, there's some events mentioned I never even heard of until today.</p>
<p>My main weakness were the questions about the economy! So far everyone's been saying its really hard, so hopefully the curve will be generous.</p>
<p>Hmm. I didn't know there was a curve...</p>
<p>I was on a roll until I realized there were 90 questions instead of 60. I should have been prepared for that. I ended up leaving 8 blank and probably 3-5 guesses. The rest I felt pretty good about...I think?</p>
<p>I found the test to be pretty straightforward, except I do agree that the questions are very random. The poltical cartoon of the moose, the elephant and Woodrow Wilson was actually a repeat of a previous test. Very glad I went over which person led what organization during the Black movement. Any ideas on curves?</p>
<p>I missed the music-related questions as usual and number 17 ****ed me off extremely. Skip one and prolly around 8-10 wrong ~.~</p>
<p>^Was the answer Little Richard?</p>
<p>dont think so, he has an album dated 57'</p>
<p>What is the typical curve for the U.S. history test? What does kaplan and princeton review have has their curves for the history test?</p>
<p>90 to 81 is an 800
64 is 700</p>
<p>Hey, surely it wasn't as bad as the May one: "Who was the first female vice presedential candidate?"</p>
<p>yeah, the '50's pop culture question was quite confusing. At first i laughed a little and picked little richard, since it seemed to obvious and i thought he was from the '80's. But now after a little wikipedia, i think it was the guy with the name that started with C or something.</p>
<p>it was billie holiday....she was a jazz singer not rock and roll</p>
<p>What did you guys put for # 17, where it asked what was a women-dominated occupation during colonial times? According to what i remember about history classes and books schoolteacher seemed right, but then sitting on choice B was MIDWIFE... I was so confused.</p>
<p>pretty sure it was midwife. dont think women became dominant in teaching until after revo. war</p>
<p>how about the question about the "quaratine" speech by roosevelt? I put the answer as communism, but i'm not sure.</p>
<p>how about the question about Jackson, about which of these was NOT used to display his image of the common man. I put the woman's name thingy cuz i eliminated the others. wats the answer to that one?</p>
<p>yea quarantine was definetly about communism</p>
<p>for the andrew jackson one .. i was between Peggy Eaton Affair and the spoil system (rotation of office) ... and decided to pick rotation of office just because i didnt see how it related to the common people ...</p>
<p>i put peggy eaton. Rotation of office made sure everyone was in office, at least for a short time. Right?</p>
<p>quarantine wasn't about communism was it? I picked "vigilance against aggressive nations since america might be going into war" or something like that. I dont see why FDR would make a national speech abt communism in 1937... or are we talking about the same answer choice?</p>
<p>could the jackson one be the bank? i picked that because the bank was a good way to keep the economy alive, but jackson kept vetoing it and other people just blindly followed him... so does vetoing the bank show that he is a MAN OF THE PEOPLE or just someone with misguided principles?</p>
<p>The answer was his southern plantation style of life. This directly contradicted the fact that he stood for the common man, whereas jackson used the spoils system to give jobs to his suporters (many of whom were 'common' men), and his support of peggy eaton also attributed to this image as she was being shunned by the other white house ladies for being divorced or something, and his support of her showed him to be in touch with the commoners.</p>
<p>The question was what aspect does NOT coincide with jackson's image as a 'common man'</p>
<p>i would be shocked if the answer was southern plantation style of life .......how did that not support the idea of the "common man" ?</p>
