</ol>

<p>I see what you’re saying but from wikipedia, “Under the Articles, the Confederation Congress had little power to compel the individual states to comply with its decisions.”</p>

<p>I think we both understand one another’s arguments since they both are logical and make sense. I’m still going to stick by the states were autonomous because of the Constitutional Convention.</p>

<p>I omitted four and got at least 11 wrong based on the consolidated list :confused:
Next time (if there is one) I’ll try REA instead of PR, which has a really vague overview…</p>

<p>PR curves give you up to 12 wrong and a couple omits for an 800, so I’m guessing CB will be more like 8 wrong…</p>

<p>edit:
also, you can contest questions by contacting them I believe, although there is no guarantee that they’ll throw out the question.</p>

<p>@thrill did you check the time of the Communist takeover in Cambodia? We did Nixon and Vietnam a couple days ago in class and I distinctly remembered supply lines through Cambodia.</p>

<p>@novademon: yeap, my bad.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question/quote for #1? For some reason I cannot recall it at all.
Ya, #15 was supply lines.
What did everyone use to study?
I crash studied last night w/ PR, the book is really really useful if you are low on time.</p>

<p>I don’t remember the “52. Jamestown created = for money” question. Was it number 1?</p>

<p>It wasn’t Jamestown specifically. The question asked what was the primary motive of the Virginia colony</p>

<p>whoa, that test was the same as an old one? i hope the curve isn’t as harsh…</p>

<p>n0vad3mon, yes.</p>

<p>According to the compiled list (I still think two answers on there are wrong) I have 7 wrong so I’m extremely worried about the curve(since that would be still barely an 800 according to the CB book’s curve)</p>

<p>crap.crap.crap. ■■■. seriously why does the curve have to be this bad???</p>

<p>I’m at 11 wrong, 4 skipped according to the consolidated list. I hope the curve will still put me at a 750+…</p>

<p>i personally found cb’s book harder than any other tests. it had 15 quote questions. 15. thats alot and thats why the curve is so good.</p>

<p>i think that people found their score surprising before because they did not have the consolidated list. the CC community has evolved significantly from 2 years ago and now we amek a list. before, they must’ve thought that they got something right that they got wrong. they only talk about few questions after all…</p>

<p>thanks pseudoreal. so does anyone know the reformers question?? Okay so that was 83 questions right there…who’s got the last 7 !</p>

<p>The people in the old thread don’t mention anything about some of the much harder questions on here (e.g. Seneca Falls, Declaration signers, jazz, and several more) so maybe those weren’t on their version and it ended up being a very easy test? And this time they fixed it to a more normal curve? Anyone else thinking/hoping this?</p>

<p>@newaccountt: but the fact is that a -3 is a 780 and a -5 is a 720, which is the WORST of ALL curves that I have seen (for USH).</p>

<p>Depends on what you call normal, gramster. My girlfriend sent me something that said the average US score was around a high 500…but today’s test was pretty difficult so I’m hoping that it would be normed further down. But if I get an 800 after skipping 4 and getting at least 11 wrong, I’ll be surprised.</p>

<p>Also you’ll notice that that thread confirms what I suspected: The Shaysites did in fact attack the armory to overthrow the government. I’m still not convinced paper money wasn’t the right answer.</p>

<p>By normal I mean the one in the CB book.</p>

<p>consolidated list please!</p>
