  1. APUSH SKILLS Multiple Choice Tips

  2. TIPS TO REMEMBER • Read each question carefully, looking out for negative words such as Except, Not, and False. • Read all possible answers and cross out those you feel are incorrect; narrowing down your choices gives you the chance to make an educated guess. • Be cautious of words indicating absolutes, like most, least, all, and none.

  3. TIPS TO REMEMBER (II) • Connect the specific information of the question to broader trends and themes. • In questions that provide you with evidence, assess the information carefully and eliminate answers that go beyond the bounds of the evidence given. • Make a habit of checking your answer sheet frequently throughout the testing time to ensure that you are filling in the correct ovals — especially if you skip questions or leave some to come back to later.

  4. Jackson’s veto of the Second Bank of the United States’ re-charter bill represented: • A ringing assertion of presidential power on behalf of land speculators and other debtors. • An attempt top assure bankers and creditors that the federal government had their interests at heart. • A concession to Henry Clay and his National Republican followers. • A gain for solid banking and a financially stable currency system. • The effective use of governmental action for sound economic policy.

  5. The nullification crisis in South Carolina ultimately ended when: • Andrew Jackson used the military to crush the nullifiers. • Henry Clay pushed through a compromise tariff that enabled South Carolina to save face. • Jackson was forced to back down and accept the basic principles of nullification. • South Carolina Unionists seized power and repealed the nullification ordinances. • A new election established a changed House of Representatives by bringing new politicians to power.

  6. All of the following are characteristics of the Whig Party EXCEPT: • A willingness to see government in a positive way and use it for community values. • Its support for public education and scientific advances. • It stood for some of the old Federalist positions and values. • Its appeal to the fundamental Protestant belief in social and moral reform. • A belief that the cure for the ills of democracy would be more democracy.
