<p>@ kaleidostar: The difference was that the Ottomans were Sunni, Safavids were Shiia. I got that one wrong. ):</p>
<p>Japan defeated Mongols. People by the book include Christians and Jews. And the Confucius quote, I thought it was that rulers had to be polite in their orders.</p>
<p>What did you guys put the picture, what two religions is the building made of.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>first of all, safavid and ottoman is ****e vs sunni. ottoman fell on early 1900s
japan was resented b/c import. west encourage the reform (us practically made their new democratic gov)
it is calender
janism is reverence for all life b/c janist wouldn’t even step on a bug
mali is due to gold
building was hagia sophia, so christian and islam (ottoman took the hagia sophia from byzantine)
japan beat mongols (twice)
east africa trades with arabs
people of the book are jews christian and muslims
brazil doesnt use spanish
5ports. 99 years hongkong thing was around late 1900s, when britain gave it back, but it was shorten to 50years i think
mesoamerican didnt use wheel b/c they didnt have animals (they had lame lama)
sharia is law</p>
<p>that was hard test though in my opinion. felt different from the time i got 800 on the practice test.</p>
<p>haha shia* makes it ****t</p>
<p>I got it wrong. I put Islam and hindu. I knew it ethier that or Christianity and Islam.
I don’t think I did take will on this test:(</p>
<p>I remember the people of the book are muslim, christian, and jews</p>
<p>I put that the rulers must also follow the social rules that everyone else should follow.</p>
<p>The picture of Hagia Sophia is definitely the central plan of the Byzantines superimposed upon the longitudinal plan of the Christians, with the Muslims putting up the four minarets around it.</p>
<p>The map question was region 3, around where the gold coast and senegal were.</p>
<p>Mali was significant because of trade, specifically its control over the gold trade.</p>
<p>Janism, according to wikipedia, believes in non-violence. Not sure what was on the test, but I put reverence for life.</p>
<p>West Africa I believe, traded with the Middle East.</p>
<p>The Hijra was in year 622 of the Christian calendar, year 1 of the Islamic calendar, when Muhammad and his followers fled Mecca to Medina. </p>
<p>The Deng Xiaoping picture was directed at the Tiananmen student protests, and his resembling the dutch (?) boy plugging his hole in the leaking dike was the analogy. Deng, by brutally putting down the protests, was like the boy putting his finger in the hole of the wall of China, while an ocean of change lies outside. The answer was something something communist china stopping change or so.</p>
<p>Anyone know about the Aun something Suu Kyi question? I remember she was a human rights activist in Burma, because she always pops up on Amnesty International and things like that. I was hoping that at least knowing she was from Burma would help, but unfortunately, freaking FOUR of hte answers had burma in it.</p>
<p>That was a freaking difficult test. I got 800s on both of the collegeboard official practice tests, but I’m not so sure about this one. I didn’t omit any, but narrowed down to 2 answer choices for about 15 of them. Factoring in that I probably got some wrong that I didn’t think was wrong, and a sub 800 is possible 
shoot.</p>
<p>i put that shes humanitarian or soemthing. i think it was in the practice test. like 3questions were from the released cb practice test</p>
<p>hijira marks the beggining of islam calender.</p>
<p>@ larmonely
LOL yea i know…!
Well I recognized Aun suu kyi w/e… name since i am in the amnesty international lol
I put something about the democracy, and i am pretty sure I did it right.</p>
<p>Wait, 3 of the answers were related to Burma? Does anyone remember which ones? All I remember is the Aung Sang Suu Kyi one.</p>
<p>One was related to promoting democracy</p>
<p>One was related to human rights</p>
<p>One was like trying to overthrow communism</p>
<p>I forgot the others, and perhaps democracy and communism were combined into one answer, and I’m forgetting even more. But that’s what I remembered</p>
<p>According to [Aung</a> Sang Suu Kyi](<a href=“http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Heroes/AungSangSuuKyi.html]Aung”>http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Heroes/AungSangSuuKyi.html), “Daw Aung San Suu Kyi won the Nobel Peace Prize for her courageous stand promoting peaceful accession to power in Burma (Myanmar), a country held down by a brutal military dictatorship.” </p>
<p>^ I’m not sure which answer choice that most closely relates to.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the 17th century philosophes question?
Was it “intellectual champions of social reform” or the democratic ideals one. I think I put democratic ideals.</p>
<p>also, there was a question on World population from 1750- 1917. Did increase rapidly, slowly, neither increase nor decrease?</p>
<p>The French Philosophes were really into democratic ideals, and this provided part of the basis of the French Revolution</p>
<p>From 1750 to 1917, I put it increased rapidly. I’m like 90% sure it was increased rapidly.</p>
<p>Ahh, well I hope we get those right!</p>
<p>And now I am vaguely remembering a question about what the Africans traded slaves for. Was it guns, beads, and __?</p>
<p>it was </p>
<p>something, metal, and firearms</p>
<p>or </p>
<p>textiles, beads, and firearms.</p>
<p>It had to be those two, because firearms were a big deal to the African slavers. I put the one with metal, and firearms</p>
<p>Yeah, firearms was most definitely part of the answer. I wasn’t so sure about metal because was iron widely used and ciruclated by the Bantus already? </p>
<p>But I did find this: “European slave traders did not themselves capture Africans to sell as slaves.Instead they bought prisoners and war captives from African kings and chiefswho wanted to trade with them. They paid for these captives with trade goods,which included metal wares, guns, alcohol, textiles and beads.” ([A</a> North East Story - Scotland, Africa and Slavery in the Caribbean](<a href=“http://www.abdn.ac.uk/slavery/banner1.htm]A”>http://www.abdn.ac.uk/slavery/banner1.htm))</p>
<p>And anyone know the answers to:
<p>philosophy is reform b/c not all phisophies were democratics. michaveli and others supported strong monarchy</p>
<p>for the sepoy rebellion, i put the lack of unification or nationalism.
and for the british african and india, I put about the use of laborers.
Britian used africans for a labor force, but didn’t use indians as laborers. </p>
<p>However, I am not sure if i am right or not.</p>
<p>“Enlightenment writers did not necessarily oppose organized religion, but they strenuously objected to religious intolerance. They believed that the systematic application of reason could do what religious belief could not: improve the human condition by pointing to needed reforms. Reason meant critical, informed, scientific thinking about social issues and problems. The philosophes believed that the spread of knowledge would encourage reform in every aspect of life, from the grain trade to the penal system. Chief among their desired reforms was intellectual freedom—the freedom to use one’s own reason and to publish the results. The philosophes wanted freedom of the press and freedom of religion, which they considered “Natural rights” guaranteed by “natural law.” In their view, progress depended on these freedoms.” - wikipedia</p>
<p>college-goer, I think you’re confusing philosophers with philosophes. Machiavelli was not a philosophe. However, from what wikipedia stressed on reforms, I guess I disagreed because i think it said societal reforms. Hmmm…anyone else have any thoughts?</p>
<p>I think the sepoy revolution failed because of lack of unity. From wikipedia, "Although rebellion became widespread, there was little unity among the rebels. "</p>
<p>The code of hammurabi question, I only rememberd that “the punishment fit the victim’s status.”</p>
<p>apakabar: I also put africans as a labor force while the indians were not.</p>
<p>hmm sepoy rebellion was lacking arms too. they refused to bite off the bullet thing b/c it went against with their religion (it was made out of pork grease and cow grease)
code of hamurabi was the victims status
but sepoy rebllion might be right for the fact that it was made out of hindus and muslims</p>
