Imperialism Practice Test

122 Comments

 
Take the 15 question practice test below, grade yourself, and explain, in detail, what you need to go back and study. For full credit, you must identify the chapter and section, slide(s) from the powerpoint, etc. Again, be detailed. Even if you receive 100%, what are the areas that you are least comfortable with.

In addition, explain how you will study. Will you reread, answer questions at the end of each section or chapter, look over your notes, create flashcards, study with a friend...? Good luck and happy testing! :)

I'm going to be honest here, I didn't do particularly too well on this practice test. I need to go back and study up on the Spanish-American War. I need to read about what exactly happened during this war and the different nations that it involved and who/how it effected these various nations. I can find this in the Spanish American War section of my notes, the notes cover a lot on this topic. I can also find this in Ch. 8 Sec. 2. I also need to look into the different points within the Roosevelt Corollary, and what it did and who it benefited (Ch.8 Sec. 3). I need to look up and read more about William R. Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer and the way they used yellow journalism (Ch. 7 Sec. 2). I'm also going to have to read about the Panama Canal and find out what the outcome of building the canal was, and what it did to the economy of various nations and simply the way it effected different countries (Ch. 8 Sec. 3; Section in notes called Panama Canal). I need to review the section on expansion, I need to find out who this effected and how, in Ch. 8 Sec. 3; and I can also find more information in the section in the notes titled Expansion in the Pacific. I also need to review the section about the Europeans selling their products and the reasons why from the notes that I took. I need to read more about the customs union and what it did and what it was about (I can find this in the notes). I need to read more about the way Hawaii was taken over by America and how it happened and why (Ch. 8 Sec. 2). To study for this next test I'm going to complete the study guide and read the mini sections pertaining to each question in the SG. I'll also go over the SG so I can remember what I read about.

I missed 1 out of 15 so thats a 93%. I need to improve on choosing the better answer out of two. I can typically narrow it down to two answers. But I can easily debate that #12 is A. Due to the amount of products that they had just sitting around they might as well sell it, it gave industrialized countries a reason to sell to those trade markets it also gave them something to trade. This would be in chapter 9 section 1, on the first page of the Imperialism slide show it states that the desire for world markets was "surplus of goods because of rapid industrialization." Sure reduced tariffs was also mentioned but both answers were offered and under the same category. So i makes perfect sense to say that in the late 1800s, Europeans were looking overseas for places to sell their products because they were producing more products than other industrialized countries wanted. Industrialized countries were making things on their own no one wanted a outside made product that could be in worse quality and cost more, it would make more sense to buy from a persons own country than another country. But other than that I believe I need to just refresh my mind on everything and make sure 100% understand it. I shall do this but rereading the chapter and the powerpoint, I WISH WE CAN HAVE A STUDY GUIDE ;) {not graded just to help those that get the most help from it} and if we don't have a study guide I'll probably search the inter-webs for one somewhere. But I think I'll do pretty good if I just reread the chapters.

I missed three questions out of fifteen, 8, 12, and 13, which would have given me an 80% on the test. From reviewing the correct answers to these problems, I concluded that I had to review the reason for imperialism used by American business leaders to support expansion. Next, I’d have to review overseas imperialism in general, what were all the reasons to why they decided to expand their business to other countries and not just stay within their own. Lastly, according to my results, I’d have to go over the Pan-American Conference and the effects of the United States’ imperialism on other countries, and the measures the United States went to, to prevent European intervention/influence in the Americas.
To find the in-depth answers to the questions I missed, I will have to look at the book and the powerpoint. For number 8, the answer is in chapter 8, section 1 on page 261, where it states “Americans simply could not consume all of the food, and other goods that their nation produced”. For number 12, I had trouble finding more on the answer, besides the correct answer which was given to correct our work. The slide in the powerpoint I found (slide 2: Imperialist Vision), deals with the matter of Europeans trade overseas but only says, “European nations were expanding their power overseas”. So the only information I was able to find, estates the question and does not say why they looked to expand their power overseas, which would be because tariffs reduced trade among industrialized countries according to the correct answer list. Lastly, the answer for 13, can be found in the powerpoint, slide 11:Relations with Latin America, “reduce tariffs and become equal trade partners”.
Finally, I plan to review the powerpoint and the study guide once I complete it. And of course, I will use my notes and the book in the process of completing my study guide. I usually just study from the powerpoint and the study guide, its proven to work for me, so I will continue to do that.

*Sorry for the long response, I thought the blog response was supposed to make the word count requirement this week as well.

Anyways, I need to study as much as I can about everything we learned, yesterday (for my 2nd period class), and try to remember at least three things about the Spanish-American War and something about Hawaii, not to mention the that one fact about the Panama Canal. Also, other information about the Phillippines. Other than that, I think I'll do good on the test. :)

Out of the 15 questions I got 4 wrong so that's about a 73%. The sections I need to review would have to be Tafts ideas and what he choose to do while being president. The next thing I need to review is the concept of tarrifs and trading because it's very confusing to me. The last two things I need to review would be the Pan-American Conference because I honestly don't know what it is and how Hawaii was overthrown. I don't think I need to re-read the whole chapter but looking over the notes a couple more times would be beneficial to me. Even though I got the answer right, I would also like to review the Roosevelt Corollary because i'm not very comfortable with it as well.

I got a 73.3% on this practice test which says I have a lot to study. I feel I had an understanding of the gist of everything, just not exact details which probably isn’t a good thing. I have to go over my notes and the power point and re teach myself everything because we go over the details so fast its hard to commit it to memory. I got one through seven right, but I have to study number eight, which was about arguments that American business men would have for expansion. The answer was to solve the economic problem of over production, which is actually a really obvious answer I don’t know why I got that wrong, but I just have to go over Ch. 8 S.1 again. For some reason when I’m taking a test and I’ve put the same letter for five questions in a row I assume one of them has to be wrong so I cancel out that letter as being an option to my next answer subconsciously. Having eight through thirteen all be B threw me off. I got twelve and thirteen wrong which was about Europe’s reasons for wanting to trade overseas. I don’t know where to find the information for it, its probably on the slides but I’m missing it so I’ll just re read all of chapter 8. I need to know more about the Pan-American Conference so I’ll go over slide 11 on the slide show. And lastly, number fifteen is about Americas support for Cuban rebels which was because of sensational stories published by rival newspapers… I’m guessing that has to do with yellow journalism? I’ll go over that on my notes.

I was very suprised with my results of this practice test. I thought that I had a very loose understanding of the chapter espically after i did very poorly in the practice exame that we did in class, but some how i got a 100 on this test. If I could say though, i had a weakest point on the understanding of the chapter it would be the presidents and what each president did to help out Americas econemy. And what Ammendments were created at what time. I got 100 so everybody step off my case my spell check is off so i probablly mispelled alot

The only thing I started to second guess myself on was number 12 where the Europeans where looking over seas to trade and the answer was because tariffs reduced trade, I almost guessed A because they had been industrialized longest and I would have thought they had a surplus but then I realized its always going to come back to tariffs in one way or another.

I received a 86%. I got #6 and 12 wrong. I think it is very unfair that you could only get one answer wrong to receive an A. As are much cooler letters than Bs are. Question 6 is about the Panama Canal and I need to review that part of the power point. I need to be able to understand its importance in being built. I also need to be able to know European motives for trade over seas. They went over seas to trade because tariffs reduced trade among industrialized countries.

I missed the last four questions on this practice test, leaving me with a very undesirable grade. I did not do particularly well on this test, but I noticed that my weakness was mostly on the questions regarding the Spanish-American war. I am guessing that it was because I have yet to finish looking over the notes and reading on the topic. Also, it's because it's the newest things we have learned. All of the information on the Spanish-American war can be found on the last PPT that we worked on. There were multiple slides on that subject alone so it will not be too difficult to find it and study the information a few times over. I will study by making an effort to look over my notes the next two nights for a minimum of 45 minutes, re-read the sections in the book regarding what is on the test, and finishing the entire study guide that we will be given tomorrow in class.

I feel pretty confident about the big picture of the topic discussed in this test, but I need to study on details of events and who did what. I will complete the whole study guide because your study guides are perfect and almost directly correlate to the content on our tests. I'm definitely going to read through the textbook and my notes and brush up on the presidents during this time and what each did. I need to also study more on foreign policies/affairs. Sections 2 & 3 have a lot of the information I need to study. Overall the study guide we get in class helps me tons and I usually have all the answers in my notes from the power points and such!

I got 11 out of 15 right, which is a 73%. I need to go back a study a few topics, including what the presidents’ platforms and policies were. For example their tactics and what they were known for. Also maybe what policies worked under them. Another topic would be what was discussed at the Pan-American conference specifically and why. And lastly why and by whom was the Hawaiian monarchy overthrown. In order to learn more about Taft and Roosevelt’s policies and concerns, I need to reread chapter 8 sec. 3. The information about the Pan-American Conference was on slide 10 in the Imperialism PowerPoint. On the 6th slide in the same PowerPoint it talks all about Hawaii and why it was annexed, as well as who. I’m going to study by going back over my notes and rereading the important chapters and doing the study guide.

I only missed one question, #15 but overall thought this practice test was very easy. In my defense, i don't feel like we really covered what the European nations wanted from expansionism. But i will go back and read that section. I felt like we also didn't really go into detail on how the Hawaii Monarchy was overthrown and i will be researching this topic.

I missed numbers 11 and 13. The two questions were about the president's foreign policies and about the Pan-American conference. I am going to go back and study the notes we took in class about the foreign policies and go back through the book because this information i dont know too well. Once we finish the power point tomorrow I will go back over it and my notes on the parts I am still unsure about, also the study guide we are going to do and review will help me as well. I feel pretty confident that I know most of the information that will be on the test and after I study the information I am unsure about I will be fully prepared for friday.

I scored 12/15 which, according to the math in my noggin, is an 80%. I missed questions 8, 11, 12. These questions mainly had to do with how imperialist nations handled their foreign policies. Because I was taking this quiz blind folded, I am not too worried about my knowledge of the chapter. To answer the questions in how I will study, I will simply attend class tomorrow...that is all. And for the record Kacie, I let you win. I took the test....BLIND. FOLDED.

I got 8, 11 and 14 wrong. 8 because A is a correct answer yet B i suppose is the best answer. After i saw A i didn't give much regard to the other options. 11 because i thought B was a given regardless of the president so i thought C was the best choice. 14 because i remembered from the video you showed us it said the queen of Hawaii thought resistance towards the US navy was unethical and that's all i recalled from that subject so i just went with B. After a second look over i made two mistakes that could be argued in favor of and one that i just didn't know the material on. Overall test was easy

I will read all the chapters in the book and then read my notes after im going to take the practice test again just as a refresher.

I missed a lot of the questions: 5,8,10,12 and 14. 5 was about how William Hearst and Joseph Pultizer were trying to get readers to sympathize for Cuba and increase reader ship I can study from in my notes from the in class power point on Tuesday. 8 talks about how American business people wanted to expand because it would help economy and solve the overproduction problems. For this question I will study it by rereading chapters 8&9 before taking the test on Friday. 10 is about Taft and how he is known for economic investment and for this question and all questions regarding Taft I will go through the Bell Ringer and notes that I got back from last week since the notes we took on from the board had a lot to do with Taft, Roosevelt and Wilson. 12 I just need to be more careful about reading the questions because I knew that one for sure. Lastly 14 I really need to study and read the section on Hawaii because I had no idea that the monarchy was overthrown by a group of planters supported by the United States Marines. I have to study the sections on Hawaii and Cuba as well as all the questions I got wrong but I think with going over my notes and reading the chapter again along with doing the study guide I should be better off when taking the test.

I did better on the practice quiz than I thought I would. Although, I still have a lot to study. I scored 12/15 which is 80%. I missed question 5, regarding yellow journalism. The answer to that question can be found on page 264 of the text book. I missed question number 14 and found the answer to that on page 268. I also missed number 15 which was very similar to number 5 (which I missed), again the text book on page 264 on yellow journalism helped. When I usually study the method that helps me the most is the study guide. As long as I complete it with the correct answers, that is what helps me remember the most important points. The power points and notes help me a lot to complete the study guide and I learn more as I try to find the answers for each question. Something that also helps me is the textbook. It helps to re-read the sections that I have the most confusion about.

A section that I want to work more on is the Spanish- American War. I don’t know much about it still and it seems very important. So I will re-read just that section because it will refresh the information. Hopefully the study guide will help me study because it usually does. There’s a lot of information in these chapters and a study guide clears up what I need to focus on the most for the test. I will also want to study with a friend. Someone else may know more information about a specific topic and can help me study for that part. The topic I understand the most about is imperialism. What imperialists wanted and what anti-imperialists wanted. That part of this chapter is the most interesting to me because it’s what makes the most sense to me. It’s easy to understand because it’s not complicated. I believe that imperialism is a positive thing and can help a country advance.

So I did not do as well as I did on this practice test as I had hoped. I missed six, mostly because I got paranoid about having too many b's in my answers... Which always freaks me out because I think I am getting the questions wrong. I usually do best when having a study guide, because it really helps me narrow things down. But I really need to go back and cover the presidents, and the Hawaii portion. I'll study by looking over the notes, and by doing the study guide, including the extra credit questions.

In the practice test I missed six questions, which relate to the Open Door Policy (slide 9/29), the Spanish-American War (13/29 [specifically Yellow Journalism Hearst/Pulitzer, and Guam/Puerto Rico given to the U.S.], Taft (slide 26/29), and the Panama Canal (slide 20/29). Even though I did very poorly on my practice test I’ll study by going over my notes, read through the Imperialism power point on Edline, and re-read the chapter. I will also make sure to completely understand the study guide that we’ll do in class tomorrow; so hopefully with all these studying I do fine in the test on Friday.

Okay, Mrs. Moore I'm going to be honest. I failed the practice test:(.
I need to study. I got 33% but I'm going to study and do signifigantly better on the real test. I need to study more about the major arguments for expansion, the presidents and their arguments and such. The Spanish-American War, Roosevelt Collary, yellow journalism, reason for Panama Canal and Confrence. Why Europeans looked to sell their products overseas, Hawaii, and support for Cuban rebels.
Yes, I know its basically the whole chapter but to study and prepare for the test I;m going to re-read. Go over the powerpoint again and take notes on the parts I am unfamilar with and the parts I missed on the practice quiz. Then Im going to take the practice quiz to see the improvements I made and where I need to make more.

The topics that I need to study are the Spanish-American War, Expansionism, the Pan-American Conference, and why Europeans wanted to trade overseas. For the Spanish-American War I can study on slides 13,14,16,19 and chapter 8 section 2. Expansionism is on slides 6 & 7 and in chapter 8 section 1. The Pan-American Conference is on slide 11. And the reasons why Europeans wanted to trade overseas is on slides 2 & 3 and chapter 8 section 1. To study, I'm probably going to scan over the sections in the chapter, look at my notes and look at the Imperialism power point.

I missed numbers: 3, 12 and 13 on this practice test. What this tells me is I need to study more on the Open Door Policy. Some things I need to learn about it are, why is became a policy, who made it a policy, what countries it affected, when it was established, and what were the effects of it. Missing number 12 shows me I need to learn more about overseas trade dealing with Europe. I need to know what Industrialization had to do with it. I also need to know if who they wanted to trade with, whether it was Asia or Africa. Finally, I need to refresh my brain on the Pan-American Conference. I need to know what about Latin America did it change and were high tariffs or low tariffs supported. To do better on the test, I am going to study with my good ole pal Jake Finley because he knows what’s up when it comes to la historia.

I missed 4 out of 15 on the practice test. The areas which I need to study the most would probably be the Spanish-American War and all the details that come along with it. Like why it started and the effects from it. I can find this information in sections 8.2 and 8.3, and the power point we went over in class. We just went over it yesterday but it definitely hasn't sunk in yet. I got the question on the practice test wrong about the Roosevelt Collary, so I should also look that up too. Another thing I need to study more on is the Progressive Era and the specific goals and organizations. I should re-read 9.1 -9.3 and go over the focus questions on Edline to recall on the main points made in the chapter. One last thing I really need to go over is the Presidents and their different policies. I seem to always get mixed up when it comes to Taft's and Roosevelt's policies and beliefs. I can go back to all the notes we took on the three presidents and make flash cards for each president. I can also reread the section 9.2 where it talks about their reforms. I will overall study by rereading all the sections that I have mentioned above, and also I will make flash cards for important definitions and people. I will also go over all the power points because those really seem to help me.

I got 11/15 correct which i thought was not bad considering i haven't done any studying yet. I got the following questions wrong, 2,10,12,13. For question #2 i put D instead of B because i didn't think puerto rico and guam had anything to with the Spanish-American War. I will have to go back and study the slides in the Imperialism powerpoint that go over the Spanish-American War. #10 I put C instead of B which means I need to study president Taft's term a little more because I remember when i answered this question I guessed between C and B so i was pretty close. #12 I put D instead of B because i was not really sure about the European trade reasons during the 1800's, I need to study tariffs, especially when it comes down to oversea trades. #13 I put C instead of B. I do not remember learning about the Pan-American Conference, so i guessed which got me the wrong answer and once again the correct answer had to deal with Tariffs which i need to study more.

I will study by reviewing my notes from class, and comparing them to a friends. Also i would benefit from re-reading the chapters, and discussing the questions in it with a study buddy. Hopefully Mrs. Moore will give us another study guide because i greatly benefitted from that last chapter. Thanks!!!:)

For problem 10, it looks like i need to study up on Taft's and Roosevelt's ideas, and how they differ and how they are similar.

I missed two questions on the practice test and the numbers were 12 and 13. Number 12 had to do with why Europeans wanted to sell their products overseas. I now know, after looking at the answer that it was because tariffs reduced trade among industrial countries. Number 13 was about the Pan-American Conference. I should study more about the conference that took place and other types of relations between Latin American countries and America. Another section that I think I need to study is the Presidency of Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. I plan on studying my notes and rereading some parts of the sections that I listed above.

I am going to study by going back and looking at my notes I took, filling in the blanks I had in them. Because I didn't have time to finish a slide before it was changed. I tried flashcards last time... but didn't work, so not going to do that again. It took up time that didn't even count. I may try writing the areas I need work on, on something I see every day. So I can remember it better. Because I'll see it so much that, hopefully it will start to stay in my brain. It works with vocab.

And the last three questions are the other subjects I need to go over. I knew them (about why Hawaiian monarchy was over thrown and the support of rebels in Cuba) I knew those but I blanked out while going over it, probably because I understood that it was a practice test and I didn't try to my best ability.

The topics I should focus on the most is the Spanish American War, Hearst and Pulitzer, Roosevelt Corollary, and the Panama Canal. I will study the Spanish American war by rereading Ch.8 Section 2. I should also be reading more about Hearst and Pulitzer and what they did. I'm not confident with the Roosevelt Corollary, so I will have to read about it in Ch.8 Section 3 on page. 273. It would be helpful for me if I researched it a little bit more on google so I understand exactly what it is. Another thing that I should be studying is the building of the panama canal and how it was important. I can find information on the panama canal also by reading through ch.8 section 3. I will study all of my guided notes and look over the powerpoint a few more times before taking the test on Friday. I will also attempt to make flashcards.

For this pre-test, I missed four questions. Number 4, which relates to the Roosevelt Corollary. Honestly, I didn't really remember much about it. If you had asked me about the Open Door Policy, Bick Stick Diplomacy, Taft's Dollar Diplomacy.. I would've known, haha! The Roosevelt Corollary information can be found in Chapter 8, Section 3.
I also missed number 12. I found the correct answer for the reason why Europeans went overseas in Chapter 8, Section 1.
As well as the two above, I missed number 14. I do believe b was partially true, but I guess I was wrong. The answer can be confirmed in Chapter 8, Section 2. Wow, maybe I should go check chapter 8 over!
And the last one I missed was number 15. Which makes sense. I guess I skipped over the last half of B's answer. You can find this answer in Chapter 8, Section 2.
After seeing the problems that I have gotten wrong and looking them over, I definitely believe that I need to go over Chapter 8 before the test. That was very interesting to see! Thank you for the pre-test!

The main subjects I need more focus on are the war areas such as the Spanish American War and also on the views and roles of the presidents.

i recieved a 12 out of 15 which is an 80%
after reviewing i know now that i need to go back and really study a lot of just the basic vocab words and especially the important people in these sections. I need to know what taft roosevelt and wilson believed and i also need to know more about imperialism in general i got 5 6 12 wrond. i think i just need to make flash cards or something on the names because for some reason the presidents don't stay in my head. overall this review helped me in practicing and i need to review tomorrow night as well.

I missed problems 4 and 13, I'm pretty sure I missed 4 because I had no idea what the Roosevelt Corollary is so that's definately something to study. Question 13 I'm pretty sure was a result of the late hour because looking back at it I should not have missed that question because I know the answer and deductive reasoning eliminates the other choices. I need to go back and study the imperialism power point and Chapter 8 Section 3. I will most likely read over my notes, look at the powerpoint, read the book, and make flashcards if they exist in my house and I don't have other homework. Sorry for the late post, I woke up feeling like I was forgetting something then I was like, whoah we have history blogs now!

Ok so this just started working for me and you had excused me from it being late, Thankyou. So i took this practice quiz and i got a 11/15 and the main issues that i realize that i need to focus on are in section 2. I also looked over the entire chapter and learned that i really didn't know much about what was going on and that is definitely the reason for why i didn't know what was going on. For the next chapter im going to do my homework better and im going to put in more effort when studying so that i will be able to do better on the next test. Also, the main parts that i had issues with were the bull donky political party and wilson's political views. These are the main things that i need to work on.

I need to study that Taft and Roosevelt wanted the open door policy in china, why Europe looked overseas to sell products, the pan-american conferance/customs union, and what american support for cuba rebels fueld by. I will study by rereading the chapter and answering the questions again and again till i get it right and remember it.

I got barely more than half right, so I definitely had studying to do. I need to look over the entire chapter to refresh my memory, especially about Taft and Roosevelt. I also need to re-read about the Roosevelt Corollary.
