June 2012 World History SAT II

<p>I put naval tech</p>

<p>@things i said naval technology</p>

<p>cool and Im still worried about the history as “repeating patterns” or “showing progress.” They both seemed to be correct.</p>

<p>Whoops, I thought that just generally regarded the Steppe. Oh well.</p>

<p>According to this document (pg. 27-28) <a href=“http://www.williampolk.com/pdf/2001/Encounters%20with%20Ibn%20Khaldun.pdf[/url]”>http://www.williampolk.com/pdf/2001/Encounters%20with%20Ibn%20Khaldun.pdf&lt;/a&gt; Khaldun saw the nomads adapting to civilization as a decline, not progress, so its probably repeating patterns</p>

<p>Does anybody know the whole Kongo question + answers? I’m unsure of that one :S</p>

<p>i didn’t think that was slave trade. The date was ~1500 and i didn’t think it began that early.</p>

<p>Which area had the most pastoral nomads between 1200 - 1500?
Which part of Europe was the most urbanized during the 11th to 13th centuries?</p>

<p>what is the anwer to the japanese isolation question and the pastoral nomads? isn’t pastoral nomads subsaharan africa?</p>

<p>What is the Japanese isolation question? Can someone describe it?</p>

<p>Took the Sunday version. I think I tops got 4 wrong and omitted 2. Am I looking good for an 800?</p>

<p>guys this is final
omit:11
Wrong:7</p>

<p>=800?
I think so because that is a raw score of
75.25 and this test’s curve is going to be a little better than the blue book</p>

<p>i put religious thought because islam, buddhism, and i think confucianism were emerging (their founders except for islam were born in 500s bce) and for the ibn quote, i said it was repeating patterns, though im pretty bad with reading comprehension</p>

<p>For the nomads question, I put N. America, although Google seems to agree with the sub-saharan Africa response. As for the isolation question, Japanese isolation arose during the Tokugawa regime due to the japanese not wanting western influences, but I forgot the gist of what it was asking.</p>

<p>Blech. Overall, I’m pretty bummed because I completely underestimated this test. Pretty sure I’m gonna do extremely poorly. Well, hindsight IS 20/20, I guess.</p>

<p>What do you guys think a 73 raw score translates to?</p>

<p>I’m fairly sure it was repeating patterns. And for the question after that I got Mongols and China. And the Kongo one I think was the slave trade, but I’m not positive.</p>

<p>I’m looking at about 10 omitted, 15ish wrong. That’s 66-67. 750 maybe possibly?</p>

<p>Im looking at around 12-14 wrong none omitted. Looking at around 780+ good compared to that I barely studied last hour before taking the exam LOL</p>

<p>for the kongo question, was the king’s name alfonso and was the country portugal? because i searched ‘@king of kongo alfonso’ and found his wikipedia page which says this which sounds A LOT like the something about the quote on the test:
“In 1526 Afonso wrote a series of letters complaining about the behavior of the Portuguese in his country and their role in the developing slave trade.”</p>

<p>afonso** i think i can confirm the kongo question was about slave trade. i found the quote, it starts in the second paragraph and it mentions slavery in the first. the quote is definitely from the letter on this site cuz i remember it said “excessive freedom” </p>

<p>[Nzinga</a> Mbemba (Afonso I), Letters to the King of Portugal (1526)](<a href=“http://www.wadsworth.com/history_d/special_features/ext/world_hist/unbound/product/wawhm01c/content/whis/modules/empire/historicaldocuments/emp_rd_mbemba.htm]Nzinga”>http://www.wadsworth.com/history_d/special_features/ext/world_hist/unbound/product/wawhm01c/content/whis/modules/empire/historicaldocuments/emp_rd_mbemba.htm)</p>

<p>I got 10 wrong and after looking through this thread, Im fairly confident I got an 800. Those 10 that I got incorrect were the ones that I had the most trouble with. Can’t wait to get my scores!!!</p>

<p>so far, 15-16 wrong out of the 81 posted. 750?</p>
