Gah, I hope the curve is generous.
As with the WH exam, this test seemed pretty detailed IMO.

i have to say, some of the culture questions like the one asking about f scott fitzgeralds common themes were more indepth in culture than princeton review.

I think Barron's crapiness for the US History SAT II was proven once again... the real test is much easier than their book.

Wow. Not sure what to think. I got a 660 last time without having taken a U.S. History class in high school, and this time, no clue how it went. The first 20 were super easy, but then things went south quickly. Obvious answers I thought I knew for sure weren't choices...Like Mercantilism...and some other stuff that could have gone either way. It'd be really nice if I got a 700, but that means my guess ( a lot of them) would have to be correct. I just hope I didn't bomb.

i left three blank. which annoyed me?
(grape rebellion or something?) never heard of that before, guess i'm naive.
but other than those 3, there were maybe a handful that i wasn't entirely positive on.
i'm hoping for 750+, woudln't be a stretch. i'd be like jumping for joy.

According to google, "Cesar Chavez organized grape pickers in California in 1962 into the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA)."
News to me.
