Introduction
Test-Taking Strategies and Practice
You can improve your test-taking skills by practicing the strategies discussed in this
section. First, read the tips on the left-hand page.
Then apply them to the practice items on the right-hand page.
Multiple Choice
A multiple-choice question
consists of a stem and a set
of alternatives from which to
select the right answer. The
stem usually is in the form of
a question or an incomplete
sentence. One of the alternatives
correctly answers the question or
completes the sentence.
Read the stem carefully and
try to answer the question
or complete the sentence
before looking at the
alternatives.
Look for key words in the
stem. They may direct you to
the correct answer.
Read each alternative with
the stem. Don’t make your
final decision on the correct
answer until you have read
all of the alternatives.
Eliminate alternatives that
you know are wrong.
Look for modifiers to help
you rule out incorrect
alternatives.

Primary Sources
Primary sources are materials
that have been written or made
by people who were at historical
events, either as observers or
participants. Primary sources
include journals, diaries, letters,
speeches, newspaper articles,
autobiographies, wills, deeds,
and financial records.
Look at the source line to
learn about the document
and its author. Consider the
reliability of the information
in the document.
Skim the document to get
an idea of what it is about.
(This source includes three
paragraphs that are distinct
but address a related
theme—rulers and moral
behavior.)
Note any special
punctuation. Ellipses (. . .),
for example, indicate that
words or sentences have
been removed from the
original.
Use active reading
strategies. For instance, ask
and answer questions on
the content as you read.
Use context clues to help
you understand difficult or
unfamiliar words. (From
the context, you realize
that chastisements means
“punishments.”)
Before rereading the
document, skim the
questions. This will help you
focus your reading and more
easily locate answers.
Moral Rulers
Book II, 3. The Master said, Govern the people by
regulations, keep order among them by chastisements,
and they will flee from you, and lose all self-respect.
Govern them by moral force, keep order among them by
ritual and they will keep their self-respect and come to
you of their own accord. . . .
Book XI, 23. . . . The Master said, . . . What I call a great
minister is one who will only serve his prince while he
can do so without infringement of the Way, and as soon
as this is impossible, resigns. . . .
Book XIII, 6. The Master said, If the ruler himself is
upright, all will go well even though he does not give
orders. But if he himself is not upright, even though he
gives orders, they will not be obeyed.
This is a collection of writings on government,
ethics, literature, and other subjects by the
ancient Chinese scholar and teacher Confucius.
1. Which sentence best expresses the main idea shared
by these paragraphs?
a.Rules and regulations are hard to live by.
b.Leaders should act morally in ruling the people.
c. A leader’s goodness is judged by the punishments he
administers.
d.Rulers should expect their people to obey them no
matter what they say.
2. For whom does this advice from Confucius seem most
appropriate?
a.workers and farmers
b.merchants and town artisans
c. rulers and their advisers
d.soldiers and priests
answers: 1 (b); 2 (c)

Charts
Charts present information
in a visual form. History
textbooks use several types of
charts, including tables, flow
charts, Venn diagrams, and
info-graphics. The chart most
commonly found on exams
is the table. Tables organize
information in columns and rows
for easy viewing.
Immigration to Selected Countries

Read the title and identify
the broad subject of the
chart.
Read the column and row
headings and any other
labels. These will provide
more details about the
subject of the chart.

Maps
Generally, three kinds of maps—
physical maps, political maps,
and thematic maps—are used
on exams. Physical maps display
physical features, such as
mountains, rivers, lakes, seas,
and oceans. Political
maps show countries and
the political divisions within
them—states or provinces,
for example. They also show
the location of major cities.
Thematic, or special-purpose,
maps focus on a particular topic,
such as population density,
election results, or major battles
in a war. The thematic map on
this page shows the spread of
Buddhism across South and
East Asia.
The Spread of Buddhism
The labels identify the
important Buddhist
sites in South and
East Asia.
Read the title of the map to
identify the area shown and
the subject covered.
Examine the labels on
the map to find more
information on the map’s
subject.
Study the legend to find the
meaning of the symbols and
colors used on the map.
Look at the colors and
symbols on the map to try to
identify patterns.
Use the compass rose to
determine directions on the
map.
Use the scale to determine
distances between places
shown on the map.
Read the questions, and
then carefully study the map
to determine the answers.
Notice that Buddhism
began in northern India
and next spread to
much of the rest of the
Indian subcontinent.
1. To which area did Buddhism spread after AD 550?
a.Java
b.China
c. Japan
d.Champa
2. T
he routes tracing the spread of Buddhism reflect the
cultural influence that China had on which countries?

Social Darwinism
• Based on Charles
Darwin’s theory of
natural evolution
• Wealth, social status,
and property indicated
a person’s fitness
• Poor people were seen
as lazy, inferior, and
less fit to survive
• Appealed to the
Protestant work
ethic—anyone could
prosper with hard
work, intelligence,
and perseverance
• Supported the idea of
laissez-faire policies—
government should not
regulate the marketplace or attempt social
reform
• Used by Andrew
Carnegie and other
industrialists to support
their business
practices
Social Gospel
Both
• Addressed the
urban and industrial
society of the 19th
century
• Explained the
situation of the poor
• Had some
connection to
Protestant ethics or
religion
• Opposed by fundamentalists, such as
Dwight Moody and
Billy Sunday, who
preached the literal
interpretation of the
Bible and individual
salvation
• A moral reform
movement promoted
by Protestant clergy
such as Walter
Rauschenbusch and
Washington Gladden
• Addressed excesses
of industrialization and
urbanization
• Christians were
responsible for helping
workers and the poor
• Preached salvation
through work for social
justice
• Influenced progressive
reformers such as Jane
Addams and Theodore
Roosevelt
