| Getting a 5/9 is average. Just basic discussion about the topic with little to no outside info. It is easy to tell that the writer is uncomfortable talking about the topic.
Especially on history, it is easy to get higher scores such as 7+ as long as you are comfortable talking about the topic and you can bring up a lot of info. | |

| Red scare is 20 years earlier. Quote: |
politics:lost the war, tet offensive
| No mention of the split in the Democratic Party and the issue of Preisdential power. Quote: |
economics:gulf of tonkin, blank check, wasted too much money
| Blank check was a political phrase, not an economic one. | |

| The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution can be used as a politcal example as well.
What I think they were really looking for with economic was the decline of "Great Society" because all of all the money used to fund the war. | |

| Would it be okay if for social we talked a lot about the Civil Rights Movement.
Because the Vietnam War and the decade in general made the African Americans more aware that they were being treated with injustice and blahblahblah. | |

| the test itself wasn't really so bad. i omitted about 5 MC and was surprised how the MC section was so nit-picky with details this year! i've taken several prac tests and never have i seen a question on stuff like mcguffey's readers, etc.
DBQ was great! relieved it was about Viet war b/c i have knowledge from my parents and also it was the focus of what we learned just before taking the test.
FRQs werent bad either! i was freaking out because at first, i didnt know what MARKET REVOLUTION meant so i did #4 first and went back to #3 after realizing it was the industrial revolution  | |

| Redwood, its is basically the same as the AP test, because it touches on the North, the South, and The midwest. Read the first paragraph!! | |

| We CANNOT talk about the MC. EVER. lol.
As far as the DBQ, I mentioned:
social:
- anti-war movement and what that entailed.... Kent State, Slaughterhouse-Five, etc.
- Civil Rights Movement (MLK's document)
- LBJ's Great Society
political: this was by far my longest section.
- tet offensive
- election of 1968... assassination of RK, formation of Hawks/Doves
- extension of executive power through the Tonkin Gulf
- Vietnamization, Cambodia, etc.
- War Powers Act
economic:
- "stagflation"
- increased military spending
- strain placed on economy by Great Society welfare programs + war funding | |
