U. S. History Survey
Study Guide
Test #2
Please bring a Green Scantron form for this test, (available in the GPC bookstore) along
with a number 2 pencil. The professor will not provide them.
The test is worth 100 points.
It consists of 45 Multiple Choice questions. Each question is worth two points (90 points
total).
For each question you will be given four choices. You will then select the correct answer
from among the four choices.
10 of the 100 points are based on the “take home” portion of the test, which is based
on the Asher Questions, Part II, which are based on the book by Robert Asher, Concepts
in American History.
The Asher Questions are to be done in advance of the Test. (see my website to
download copies of these Study Questions).
Please note carefully-make sure that you read the Guidelines for answering all of
the Questions for Asher’s Concepts (Please see the link on my webpage.)
Preparing for Test #2
Important: You should review each term and person that has been
described in the lecture notes by looking up each of them in the
textbook: James Roark, et al., The American Promise. To locate each term
and person, I have added a link to my webpage for the powerpoint outlines
for each one of the lecture notes.
