December 2007 World History

<p>it varies per administration. but it looks like something around 75-80/95 for 800</p>

<p>so a raw of 65 is = 700?</p>

<p>Yeah the population ones are tricky</p>

<p>MesoAmerica death-I put 75% decrease</p>

<p>African slaves to North America- i put 5%</p>

<p>other answers:</p>

<p>Ghandi was against the caste system.
Guilds set prices.
Latin America:
Brazil peacefully gained independence, main producer of sugar.
The wheel was not invented because no pack animals were domesticated (except in South America, llamas).</p>

<p>i think ghandi was satygarha
which means civil disobedience</p>

<p>Ghandi pratices Santiyaha (Or whatever the spelling) Non violence it means</p>

<p>is it 5% for the slave questions?
did someone else put that too?</p>

<p>yeah people keep saying its caste system because of some other test question last year. but i think maybe the questions were different.</p>

<p>5% to us. cotton was in the us, right? or am i confused</p>

<p>I can't give my approximate score. Maybe on the questions discussed here I have six wrong. However, I find it is always correct to leave a "margin". Usually we make more mistakes than we think, thus our scores are lower than expected...
I'd be happy with 750 +, especially since I felt the test was very difficult. However after reading your responses and doing some research I find my educated guesses were in fact, educated. Let's say I got 15-20 wrong. That means a 730-760. That means I would not expect to get less than 730. And that's as close as I get from giving my approximate score.</p>

<p>Gandhi question- Yes, he was in favor of civil disobedience and that would be the answer if the question was "What did Gandhi favor?"
I have a feeling though that the question was opposite, "What was Gandhi against" or something like that. I might be wrong. Does anyone remember other options? That would clear any doubt.</p>

<p>right now i have an 800, but a lot of the questions that i supposedly got wrong dont seem to have evidence to refute them.</p>

<p>which for example ?</p>

<p>the question was what Ghandi sought to reform and it was exactly same question from before word by word</p>

<p>So it's actually what "Gandhi" sought to reform?</p>

<p>that's what I think ... Gandhi sought to reform the caste system.</p>

<p>michelle- I don't follow. I think the answer was "remove the emperor" because the question was something like "the U.S did the following on Japan except ..."
That would mean you got it right ...</p>

<p>It was not "what did Ghandi favor?" because anyone would have gotten that question right w/o thinking.</p>

<p>The real question was "Which one of these did Ghandi seek to REFORM?"</p>

<p>I guessed the caste system, I'm not sure, but I know it wasn't civil disobediance because he didn't seek to 'reform' it.</p>

<p>I think it's all about key words right there.
Reform vs favor
If it's favor then Santegyra is correct
If reform the caste is correct
The Population Pyramid one I think cannot be about developed and underdeveloped countries because that'd be overinferring.</p>

<p>Wait, I got confused in one of my posts ... I meant reform, not favor.</p>

<p>If it's reform then it's the caste systems.
If it's favor then it's civil disobedience.</p>

<p>I think it was reform.
That means the answer was caste systems (I think).</p>

<p>I did a little research and found the following.</p>

<p>The Treaty of Nanking has both opening the ports AND the cession of Hong Kong as part of the terms. So that gets me confused since both of them are on the test.</p>
