DECEMBER 2008 SAT Subject Test: World History

<p>What is the least number of questions you could right and the most number of questions you can get wrong and get at least a 700? I answer every question except one three.</p>

<p>Did you know the answer to the question what qualities a Homeric hero would have?</p>

<p>^ I only remember my choice having "courage" and "hospitality" (out of the three or four characteristics).</p>

<p>yeah i thought it right too</p>

<p>does anyone remember which African countries were independent??</p>

<p>Was it Liberia and Sierra Leone?</p>

<p>^ That's what I put.</p>

<p>@ Homer question - I agree too.
@ Independent places - I know a few were not colonized prior to 1820s...they were Rwanda and Ethiopia, according to wikipedia.</p>

<p>Liberia and Sierra Leone were turned into freed slave states before 1820. The British actually moved in and established rule over sierra leone 1820+...hmm</p>

<p>Any other thoughts on what was the center of spanish governance in the americas? Can't remember the question.</p>

<p>@lakerboy - you really should be fine if you answered that many. No guarantees with a 700 since it changes each year. The scale is really lenient (at least in the past), and it appears that you could get up to a very max of 30 wrong/65 right and still get a 700.</p>

<p>The answer wasn't Ethiopia and some other country for the africa question.</p>

<p>I put Ethiopia but i don't remember WHICH was the second..if the second was liberia than it is right...because I just checked</p>

<p>Ethiopia and Liberia were THE only countries to remain independent during colonization
Colonisation</a> of Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>

<p>How did you "check?" wth?</p>

<p>and what did you guys put for the Homeric hero? I think mine was something, courage, and hospitality</p>

<p>what did you put for what was not known to germanic tribes before they conquered rome. I put lawsuits. is this right?</p>

<p>lawsuits is correct.</p>

<p>Ethiopia was never colonized. Rwanda was the other country and colonized 1880+ by Germany. I believe the question said prior to 1820.</p>

<p>how was the alternative of Ethiopia??</p>

<p>Holy <em>...I think I got like a 500.
Score for 30 Wrong 6 Blank?
This was so much harder than the AP, *</em>
.</p>

<p>eh yeah, at least you could B.S. on the AP Essays. -30 wrong and -6 blank takes you to a 52...660/680. Depending on how the curve is. </p>

<p>I know the Africa question was either Ethiopia/Rwanda or Sierra Leone/Liberia possible prior to 1820. </p>

<p>While we are on Africa, what was the one thing that didn't happen to it post-World War II?</p>

<p>The Multiple choice on the AP was so much easier too</p>

<p>what was the answer to the question about parliament? I put something like the nobles to adivise the king. People try to post more questions that you remember from the test. it would be greatly appreciated</p>

<p>The decolonization one?</p>
