<p>My friend hijacked my account and deleted my post. -.- Luckily, I usually save these things, otherwise, I would’ve forgotten my questions.</p>
<p>"Uhh…Delhi was the capital of the Delhi sultanate, not the Mughal empire. Mughal didn’t even exist from 1200-1400.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure the choices were porcelain, beads, firearms and textiles, metal ware and firearms.</p>
<p>I thought the guidelines for monks and monasteries were in the same choice…"</p>
<p>Was this test hard/ so-so/ or easy?</p>
<p>Does anybody know/ can guess what the curve will be?</p>
<p>Can’t wait till the score comes out</p>
<p>I thought it was ok, but then again, I sorta crammed last night. Though the more I read this thread, the more I’m uncertain of how well I performed.</p>
<p>Is the curve usually -18 to -22 = 800? (on the raw score, not mistakes). Because there seems to be a lot of disagreement and large discrepancies among CB material about what yields an 800.</p>

<p>On another note, back to imperial Britain in Africa vs. India. I think I put a higher proportion in Africa was converted to Christianity. Was there a specific time frame? Because when I think “imperial Britain,” I think of more recent times (like nationalism amongst European countries, Berlin Congress, etc…(probably wrong though)). And I remember Britain was very abolitionist rather early on. And when you think of Africa right now, there are a lot of countries with significant Christian populations that were under British rule (ex: Nigeria), while India was overwhelmingly Muslim/Hindu (now Hindu). But idk…</p>
<p>kh267, I had the same thought process as you for that question and ended up putting the Christianity asnwer. but i’m not sure…</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the Indian-African British Empire question was that the Brits converted more to Christianity in Africa, and not the use of labor, because the term they used was the more general “use of labor” or something as opposed to slave trade, so even if they didn’t make Indians slaves, they did use them as a source of labor, no? And that aside, it is true that sub-Saharan Africa is to a great extent Christian while India is only barely, no?</p>
<p>Guys, why does hinduism seek end to reincarnation?
Reincarnation was one of the major characteristics of hinduism…</p>
<p>It was Buddhism that had reached end of reincarnation…</p>
<p>Does anyone agree with me?</p>
<h1>26 was my question before. and no its samurai and vassals. *** #19. woulda guessed the saint benedict one right too =(</h1>
<p>^kaleido, whichever one had the wheel of life was the one which wanted end of reincarnation</p>
<p>Attaining moksha is definitely the goal of Hinduism. Keep in mind that Buddha was originally Hindu himself, hence the overlap between Hinduism and Buddhism.</p>
<p>46 ,47,48 are correct. 49 is cross cultural examination. 51 would appeal to leaders who want to conquer because the social darwinist states that technology gives people right to conquer.</p>
<p>did any1 else find the one about burma and ayn yang w.e the woman was, had very similar answers</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure the early civilizations was economic specialization, just because that is part of the criteria for civilization.</p>
<p>And the Machiavelli question was something like “religious morals are irrelevant in politics”</p>
<p>Consensus on the British imperialism (Africa vs. India) question?</p>
<p>As someone from that region of the world, I am 100% sure the Aung San Suu Kyi one was the choice involving her use of “non-violence”. :)</p>
<p>^yes to machiavelli. what was early civilizations question? What was the first one bout mespotamia and wheel? </p>
<p>Africa vs india i put…idr it was between christianity and something else i think i left it blank tho</p>
<p>I believe the answer to Mesopotamia wheel question was the lack of animal domestication or something along the lines of that.</p>
<p>And for the question about Hinduism’s ultimate goal, the answer is not reincarnation but moksha. Reincarnation is bad because it means a soul is taking longer to achieve moksha. (Source: I’m Hindu!)</p>
<p>Any clue on the appeal of left-wing movements in the 1920s?
