***December 2013 - World History International***

<p>@arabguy still better than me… guessed over a half of it, so hard x_x
about the herodotus questions - what was the second one? what could you infer from the passage? srsly that was more like CR than world history
and what about the ships - which country was it?</p>

<p>The ships were from China, Ming Sea Expeditions
Guessed on 20, left 7.
Praying for 720+</p>

<p>To be honest the Ghana and india independence question was misleading.because it specified on the word movements. And the Indian struggle was started in the 1930s, long before world war 2.</p>

<p>@kazteq but he said that what was happening was ‘‘against mankind’’… like he didn’t approve of what women did… guess I overthought that </p>

<p>praying for a 600+ after what I did :(</p>

<p>@arabguy However, the focus of the passage is the Greek guy’s account of the Egyptian society. We get to know that Greeks did the opposite of what Egyptians did as shown in the passage. The answer you chosen is sort of a trap.</p>

<p>Probably 17 wrong still gets 800 in WH…not sure, but I do feel WH has a generous curve…which I highly doubt damn it! I got a 660 in June :(…but I didn’t study a single thing at that time XD</p>

<p>Ghana and India was both were nonviolent. India’s movement started before WWII</p>

<p>Thank you for the answer above. And you guys think this tsdt will have a lenient curve?</p>

<p>This is usually the curve:
World History: 95 questions
-18: 800
-19/20:790
-21: 780
-22/23: 770
-24/25: 760
-26: 750
-27/28: 740
-29/30: 730
-31/31: 720
-32: 710
-33/34: 700</p>

<p>That’s a pretty nice curve. And this was a relatively hard paper too. I’m sure they’ll cancel a couple of questions. Like did anyone know that thing about saint Benedict? I’ve read the entire Barron’s and have no idea who he is</p>

<p>Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the Ghana and India question ask for a commonality between both independence movements? If that’s the case, then I believe it would be that they both achieved independence after WWII. Ghana’s independence movement did not employ nonviolent measures, therefore that answer couldn’t have been right. And I know that India’s started before WWII, so the question was kind of misleading.</p>

<p>@DjangoIRL St. Benedict established the monastic system!</p>

<p>Also, @Habsfan95, it didn’t ask if they “achieved independence after WWII.” It asked if the independence movements began after the Second World War, and India’s began long before. Ghana’s independence movement, however, was non-violent, as was that of India.</p>

<p>For the question regarding ships, I believe it was the Arabs. The second part of the question was the Chinese. China first started using ships during the 15th century under the Ming. What did you guys get for the Taiping rebellion question?</p>

<p>damn, you guys are right, both of those answers were Chinese</p>

<p>The Taiping Rebellion was when Windows Vista stopped working, and they furiously started a keyboard-based revolt.</p>

<p>Ghana’s independence was indeed like India’s (non-violent). They used strikes and riots(just like India), which i don’t think will be considered violent if you in look in comparison with other colonies (Vietnam e.g). Any other problematic questions ?</p>

<p>I’m sorry but riots are very much violent. We didn’t use riots, they occurred during the partition and a lot of people were killed.</p>

<p>They were both nonviolent based off many sources. I really wish more people would contribute to this smh. C’mon guys!</p>

<p>You mean questions? Okay, what were the Phoenicians known for. Filial piety was which religion. Voodoo was a mixture of? Answers are marine trade, Confucianism and African religions and Catholicism. Also there was a question or option about Jesuits and gunpowder. I wrote they helped bring gun powder to the west. And what helped in the spread of Eurasian trade. (Mongol conquest) can’t remember more atm</p>

<p>Also cardyboy so both the answers about the quote for ships in India were the chinese right?</p>

<p>I’m from the subcontinent as well. I know about the partition riots. I wrote that if you look from world history’s perspective you’ll see that Ghana was also non-violent. Violent would be like the guerrilla warfare in Vietnam or independence movements in South America(excluding Brazil).</p>
