Most common multiple choice predictions and tips
1. If you see:
Meiji Restoration = Modernization of Japan
the answer will be westernization-think M&Ms
2. If you see:
question on the 3 documents that limited the absolute monarchy
= Habeas corpus act, Magna Carta, Bill of Rights.
Before that there was absolutism in England ... and in France.
Don't be fooled if you see...
Limited Monarchy = Constitutional Monarchy- Same thing.
3. If you see:
Simon Bolivar, Toussaint, San Martin = those names mean the answer is
either "independence movements" or "nationalism."
4. If you see:
Green Revolution = go with the Food choice ... salad is green, and it is food!
5. If you see:
Boer War, Sepoy Rebellion, Opium War, Boxers ... choose "imperialism led
to bad stuff" or "protest/kick out foreign nations"
6. If you see:
Karl Marx = answer will be classless society or 'capitalism leads to bad stuff'
7. WHEN IN DOUBT = CIRCLE "CULTURAL DIFFUSION" OR "NATIONALISM"
8. WHEN IN DOUBT AFTER THAT ... go with the "warm and fuzzy choice."
This is a happy and optimistic choice that sounds like this ... "These cultures
exchanged ideas, and had a flowering of creative thought. They gave us
mathematics and science." Rule of thumb ... Mr. Regents wants you to understand
that places you never heard of have impacted your life positively!
9. Everything you need to know about religions -- remember that my friends
Rick and Benn were in the Draft ...
RICK =
Reincarnation
India
Caste
Karma
BENN =
Buddhism
Enlightenment (or Eightfold Path)
Noble Truths
Nirvana
DRAFT =
Daily prayer
Ramadan
Alms (charity)
Faith
Travel to Mecca (Pilgrimage)
OR ... RELIGION SONG!
10. If you see:
Mao Zedong then the answer is the Communist choice.
11. Why could the conquistadors take over?
They had superior weapons and technology! Duh.
Who came after the conquistadors ... EVERYONE!!!
12. They live near water!!!!!.
13. Neolithic Revolution ... one day a few nomads discovered that if they
planted seeds, it would become food. BINGO! Now they don't have to travel
from place to place and can have permanent settlements.
If you see:
14.
Encomienda, it means forced labor in Native
America. No one ever remembers that. If you do, then you probably don't
need this review sheet.
If you see:
15.
Peter the Great Modernized ... the answer is that
he Westernized / Modernized Russia.
16. Anything about the Enlightenment will usually lead you to the choice
that says "natural rights." The Regents will favor the writers of
Enlightenment moreso than the scientists.
17. If you see: The Byzantine Empire ... know that
Greece + Rome = the roots of Western Civilization
18. Ethnic Cleansing, the Holocaust, Khmer Rouge, Tiananmen Square, and
Apartheid are unfortunate events of world history. Essays of this nature
have come up. But for multiple choice purposes, the answer usually is,
"human rights violations."
19. EU = EUROPEAN UNION. Europe is mostly united, and it has
strengthened their economy.
If you see:
20.
Mansa Musa ... the answer has something to do
with him converting Mali to Islam.
Remember: Mansa Musa Mali Muslim
21. Questions 1-3 on the Regents tend to have nothing to do with anything
... usually it involves a "physical map," or a map that has mountains and
rivers jutting out of it. Or, it is a question about economies/resources or
what an anthropologist does. Also know that subsistence farming is when
you farm just enough for your family. Slash-and-burn means to burn the
forest and use the ashes for fertilizer.
22. The Great Wall of China was built to keep out invaders from the North.
23. If you see: A farming question about Native Americans, know that
it's all about Terrace Farming.
24. If you see: The Sahel ... it's related to desertification, as the
Sahara desert is expanding to this area. Just remember it's as "hot as
Sahel" there.
25. I know this may sound weird, but I have never seen the same choice 4
times in a row. So if you see 4 C's in a row, double check it. Three in a row
comes up often, but 4 -- not yet. But, they can change that, be on your toes.
THEMATIC ESSAY ... Scariest Part
CLICK HERE FOR MR. KLAFF'S SUMMARY OF GLOBAL
THEMATICS SINCE 2001
The thematic is scary ... but not scary if you study the right things.
KNOW THE FOLLOWING 4 THINGS, AND YOU HAVE A 90% CHANCE OF
KNOCKING THIS OUT OF THE PARK.
1. I would know 2 of the following 3 religions VERY WELL ... Islam,
Hinduism, Buddhism ... (Religion Flashcards ... Religion Review Song)
2. I would know a couple of the impacts of Geography on world history ... Ex.
Mountains isolate people as seen in Greece, or in the Andes. Or ... England
was an island -- couldn't be attacked my Napoleon, or Hitler. And it's
natural harbors allowed the Industrial Revolution to start there. Know
two or three like this.
3. I would know one Revolution REALLY WELL. Go French Revolution ...
Let them eat Cake!!!" Or Russian ... Peace, Land, and Bread! A revolution
is GREAT for the Thematic, because it can be used for: Change, Conflict,
War, Turning Points. The Regents has asked that type of question often
in recent years. For French Revolution review, scroll down.
4. Human Rights Violations -- Study 2 of these very thoroughly:
Holocaust, Khmer Rouge, Tiananmen Square, Apartheid.
DBQ ... As for the scaffolding questions ... if you see two lines ... write
three! Don't get skimpy on these easy questions! It's all about the Outside
Knowledge ... write whatever you know in the margins of those
scaffolding questions.
Biggest tip I could give you ... ON ALL ESSAYS -- IT'S QUALITY AND
QUANTITY ... IF YOU ARE SKIMPY ON HISTORY, WE WILL BE SKIMPY ON
YOUR ESSAY GRADE.
