I posted the new question. This is a much harder question than last week's, but I encourage you to answer this WITHOUT looking up the answer or doing any research. (It's ok to look it up afterward- but don't discuss the question with someone who hasn't voted...) Before reading the answers think about what you know of The Great Awakening. Once you have that in mind THEN read over the answers and go through a process of elimination.
There use to be a slight penalty for guessing on the AP exam - you could skip a few questions without them being considered wrong, but that is currently suspended. A skipped question is a missed question, so it's to your advantage to guess. You just have to increase your skill at guessing (not to mention increasing the amount of US History you know)!!

Multiple Choice Question of the Week
I'm going to try and post one question a week on the blog so that you get continual practice. I've set it up so that you can select an answer and then see everyone else's answer, too. At the end of the week I'll post the correct answer and put up a new question. Check out this weeks question to the left...
Multiple Choice Test Taking Strategies...
...this will be a topic we will be talking about in the upcoming weeks. But for now - I've learned of a really fun strategy for improving your ability to navigate multiple choice questions - Sudoku -- you know, those little gridded number puzzles!
Multiple choice tests require logical thinking and are often a process of elimination - get rid of the wrong answers to reveal the right ones. It's Sudoku! So, grab yourself a book of them, find yourself a website, or scroll down to the bottom of this blog where I posted a Sudoko gadget for your convenience. Try at least one a week, more if you can!
There is plenty of time between now and May 2013 to get ready, but multiple choice is 50% of the AP Exam - currently 80 questions in 55 minutes. We're going to practice, practice, practice to eliminate intimidation - and Sudoku is one of the first pages in the gamebook!
