New York State Global Regents Review Sheet Use this page's links as an online review packet and study guide for the Global History and Geography II Regents. THE NEW GLOBAL II REGENTS EXPLAINED!
All Regents Exams; Old Transitional, Old Regents
Mr. Klaff's most common multiple choice predictions and tips based on the old test's frequent topics.
3. If you see: Simon Bolivar, Toussaint, San Martin = those names mean the answer is either "Latin American independence movements" or "nationalism." 4. If you see: Green Revolution = go with the Food choice ... salad is green, and it is food! 5. If you see: Boer War, Sepoy Rebellion, Opium War, Boxers ... odds are you forgot all of this ... so choose "imperialism led to bad stuff" or "protest/kick out foreign nations imperializing"
6. If you see: Karl Marx = answer will be classless society, or 'capitalism leads to bad stuff.'
8. WHEN IN DOUBT AFTER THAT ... go with the "warm and fuzzy choice." This is a happy and optimistic choice that sounds like this ... "These cultures exchanged ideas, and had a flowering of creative thought. They gave us mathematics and science." Rule of thumb ... The Regents wants you to understand that places you never heard of have impacted your life positively! 9. If you see: Mao Zedong then the answer is the Communist choice. Be warned though: Mao also elevated the status of women.
11. Ethnic Cleansing, the Holocaust, Khmer Rouge, Tiananmen Square, and Apartheid are unfortunate events of world history. Essays of this nature have come up. But for multiple choice purposes, the answer is usually, "human rights violations." Scroll down on this sheet for a list. 12. EU = EUROPEAN UNION. Europe is mostly united, and it has strengthened their economy. 13. As in the past, Questions 1-3 on the Regents tend to have nothing to do with history ... usually it involves a "physical map," or a map that has mountains and rivers jutting out of it. Or, it is a question about economies/resources or what an anthropologist does. Also know that subsistence farming is when you farm just enough for your family (or your "sub-sister"). Slash-and-burn means to burn the forest and use the ashes for fertilizer. NOTE: These types of questions might have a Global 1 feel to it, but apparently are fair game. 14. If you see: The Sahel ... it's related to desertification, as the Sahara desert is expanding to this area. Just remember it's as "hot as Sa-hel" there. 15. I know this may sound weird, but I have never seen the same choice 4 times in a row. So if you see 4 C's in a row, double check it. Three in a row comes up often, but 4 -- not yet. But, they can change that, be on your toes. 16. Aung San Suu Kyi has been popping up lately. At first, as a champion of human rights ... but recently for not protecting them in Myanmar. 17. If you see: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk ... He modernized/westernized Turkey. 18. Japan is a small island! They needed resources, so they imperialized China!
