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. If you forget the scantron, you will have to go to the bookstore to purchase it, which will give you less time to take this test. 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 are the Asher Questions, Part II, all of 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.)
