DECEMBER 2008 SAT Subject Test: World History

<p>Oh.</p>

<p>Any answer choices? I am pretty positive it's not Judaism itself - Judaists never liked converts. And peace and other Jesus stuff doesn't really apply to EARLY Hebrew prophets.</p>

<p>lakerboy, I thought it had something to do with Oceania</p>

<p>Society with most natural disaster efforts - I would say Incas because they were very good administrators. That's the only reason I chose them.</p>

<p>post more questions</p>

<p>Which were the one society that didn't do extensive sea trading? = Incas?</p>

<p>^ I eliminated Incas...i remember reading from Barrons that they found some incas stuff in the southwestern US and the caribbean islands or vice versa i forgot</p>

<p>oceania did a lot of sea trading...
theyre in the pacific OCEAN lol...</p>

<p>and i heard they found in the islands of the pacific plants from the western part of the United States</p>

<p>they also migrated to New Zealand and became known as the Maoris.</p>

<p>Does anyone think its the Arabs who didnt trade on the sea as much??</p>

<p>I always thought of camels and stuff when i think of them...not ships. =&lt;/p>

<p>Arabs traded a lot.
Oceania didn't engage in long distance trade, they traded a little between CLOSELY lying islands.</p>

<p>For the trade question...it's all about phrasing :( lol. All of the societies traded. But I don't think the Incas had a major sea presence...at least not in any textbook that I have read. Polynesians were the other option. They can be a trick...they did a lot of close island-island trade rather than across the Ocean...but it was substantial and let them colonize the entire Pacific. Arabs traded all over the Indian/Arabian ocean.</p>

<p>About Judaism, there is no physical way it has anything to do with "spread religion."
The Jews never sought to convert enemy lands. They just slaughtered all the women and children lol.</p>

<p>10 wrong, 10 omitted would equal a raw score of (-20) + (-2) for 73/95, right?</p>

<p>What would that curve typically look like? 750?</p>

<p>Yeah, by Oceania I meant Polynesia. If I don't mistake, they were the least marine traders out of the choices listed.</p>

<p>^ Incas were more of marine traders than Polynesia? I dont think so. There were many trade routes across the INdian Ocean that served as an arena for Chinese, Arab, etc. and many southeast civilizations facilitated this trade..(polynesia - Majapahit Kingdom)</p>

<p>What were the other choices again ^ ?</p>

<p>I'm fairly sure I put Incas, but I don't remember</p>

<p>Kaplan stresses that they had very short-distance trade.</p>

<p>Incas definitely did not have extensive sea trade. Polynesians had a bunch of islands, why wouldn't they sea trade?</p>

<p>Jewish people did not actively seek converts. In fact, they regarded other people as gentiles. So, I put charity.</p>

<p>Was there a question on the Glorious Revolution + English Civil War? or that might be a question on the practice test.</p>

<p>no , was a real question
I think i put something like monarchy power decreased and parliament strengthened or something</p>

<p>YES, I was hazy on the Glorious Revolution one!! What did y'all put?</p>

<p>I put the limitations on monarchy for that one, too.</p>

<p>There was also one about immigration in the 20th century...</p>

<p>limitation on monarchy too. </p>

<p>for the 20th century immigration one - people migrating increasingly because of persecution. One of the major themes Barron's mentions towards the end. Ties in with another question where it asked something about post-cold war world politics...answer was something along the lines of increased ethnic violence (all those new eastern Europe countries)</p>

<p>there was another religious question: what is the main idea of Confucianism...does anybody remember that</p>

<p>Confucianism was something to do with lack of individualism, greater community or something.</p>

<p>Yep I gave the same answer...I was undecided between harsh punishment for social rule and this one but the first looked too extreme for confucianism</p>
