DECEMBER 2008 SAT Subject Test: World History

<p>does anyone remmeber about the
Manila map?</p>

<p>what did manila give spain for their galleons?
and another question related was to whom did spain trade whatever they gotfrom Manila to?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the answer about what culture did the most to prevent floods and droughts? Was it the Aztecs or no?</p>

<p>^ Yeah, the Mongols stifled technological growth in Russia.
^^ For the Asoka one- He favored Buddhism but I think he also tried to spread it around Asia too using his power.
^^^ Well I guess we're all agreeing on the Mother Goddess one
^^^^ For Manilla map, I skipped it. Wikipedia says something about silver, and how they also obtained porcelaines & spices from the Southeast. The article's kinda confusing though, so not I'm not positive.</p>

<p>Yay for carrots!</p>

<p>I put that they got the silver from Acapulco to trade for spices from the Dutch. I thought that was right just because I didn't see why they would highlight the Dutch holdings otherwise?</p>

<p>I didn't even answer the question about the floods and droughts. ;(</p>

<p>new world silver to manila, then further to china for silks and spices</p>

<p>Entrance</a> to the shrine of Inanna, Sumerian Mother-Goddess the very well existing mother goddess!</p>

<p>what was the flood thing? i guessed Inca because of their social systems dunno though</p>

<p>Can people start posting more questions and answers? I need to know how I did on the test. Please!!!</p>

<p>Does anyone remember their answer to the indian political cartoon? the one about the revolutionaries in prison. path to liberty question</p>

<p>i put "to strengthen the national spirit"</p>

<p>For the government control one- was Maya one of the answer choices?
I'm looking through my Kaplan book and agriculture formed the basis of Mayan life, so I suppose floods and droughts would matter to them.</p>

<p>On the other hand, Aztecs created the 'chinampas'- which were floating plots of land full of fertile soil. In addition, they had a lot of canals in their capital city. So, obviously they cared about water control too.</p>

<p>For the indian political cartoon, I put to discourage more people from participating. It seemed like the bridge led to the inside of the cage.</p>

<p>why would the Indians want to discourage participating in a peacefull independance movement that brings THEM liberty? also there were gods and sign on there for national identity!</p>

<p>alleviating problems b/c of the floods and natural disasters i put incas</p>

<p>i remember reading something about how they had socialist tendencies</p>

<p>i used barrons</p>

<p>it says</p>

<p>"the Incas took care of the poor and aged, distributed grain in periods of shortage, and assisted in natural disasters"</p>

<p>the indian question i put something along the lines of...</p>

<p>using religious symbols??</p>

<p>it definitely wasnt to discourage participating cause inside the jail was mohandas gandhi.
he was for non-violence but it doesnt mean non-participation</p>

<p>For the Indian cartoon question, I put whatever answer had both Ghandi and Nehru in it. He was chilling in the cage there with Ghandi. I think that was the answer about discouraging people from participating?</p>

<p>With the reinstatement of scorechoice is there really any point to cancelling SAT's?</p>

<p>Score</a> Choice - New SAT Score-Reporting Policy</p>

<p>And if it's possible...It'd be helpful if all of us could pool in for a compilation of the questions on the SAT WH :]?
I remember the first question was...
1. Civilization first existed...
Answer : Sumerian?
4. Which book talked about immortality
Answer: Epic of Gilgamesh
5. Theravada vs. Mahayana</p>

<p>And the one with the passage..."Franks rejoiced"?
Answer : ...?</p>

<p>what was the map that
included...</p>

<p>germany
austria
hungary
and northern italy and i think switzerland??</p>

<p>was it</p>

<p>carolingian empire...
or autro-hungarian empire
or...
holy roman empire</p>

<p>yea i like the idea of everyone pooling in for the questions. People keep posting questions</p>

<p>"the Incas took care of the poor and aged, distributed grain in periods of shortage, and assisted in natural disasters" </p>

<p>OMG i thought of the same thing there;) yeah, I also used barrons! i just memorized "Incas=social=reciprocal system" and I guess I know now where I got my feeling from. lets hope that its right^^</p>

<p>the map was the holy-roman empire!!! I live in the present day Austria (yes its tiny) so i kinda smiled when I saw that answer choice:)</p>

<p>ANYONE get the Enlightment effect on Latin America?</p>

<p>Hey guys, what do you think a feasible score (assuming an average to generous curve) would be for 10 omits and 5-7 wrong? Like a 760-780?</p>

<p>15-20 blank is around a 790-800 depending on the curve, at least according to the official practice tests.</p>
