June 2012 World History SAT II

<p>I thought it was harder than the official CB book test.</p>

<p>Maybe a good curve?</p>

<p>I thought the test was very similar to the Barron’s; in fact, some of the questions from Barron’s practice tests had appeared on it. I think it wasn’t hard or easy: just medium.
Now I take a nap :)</p>

<p>I sure hope so. I had a bit of trouble pacing myself. It took more time for me to answer questions than when I did practice tests.</p>

<p>Is embargo lifted yet?</p>

<p>I actually thought it was a bit easier than US, which I studied for much much more.</p>

<p>Only one question I didn’t know…</p>

<p>Last question: A? (tiananmen square?)</p>

<p>i put that too</p>

<p>^ Yep, that’s what I put. Location with the greatest number of pastoral nomads between 1200-1500 CE? I put sub-Saharan Africa, total guess hahaha.</p>

<p>I put South East Asia. Probably wrong.</p>

<p>Which was the financial center of Europe during the seventeenth century?
(a) Amsterdam
(b) Lisbon
(c) London
(d) Madrid
(e) Paris</p>

<p>I thought Tiananmen square resulted in imposed economic sanctions and arms embargoes against China which means there was a large reaction to it. Didnt the question ask which one had the least result?</p>

<p>A, Amsterdam. Just googled.</p>

<p>Edit: @Vicimus, I’m not sure but I think the question asked for which had the least result reform-wise, as in impacting the government to change its policies?</p>

<p>There was a question about what type of people came most to the Americas between 1500 -1800 (or something like that). Was it Western Europeans or Africans?</p>

<p>do you guys think there will be a good curve?</p>

<p>Just took it. </p>

<p>Now I am busy goggling/checking answers while my memory is still fresh ( I can remember 3/4 of the questions). I skipped 3, not sure exactly how many questions I did wrong. I think I may get >750.</p>

<p>I am a freshman, and I am glad that I started earlier (bunch of juniors were taking 2 to 3 SAT IIs today).</p>

<p>I made so many stupid mistakes… I took world history last year, AP Gov this year so I forgot a lot of material… In the past 2 weeks I’ve been trying to relearn it all via Kaplans Guide and Google. I am depress.</p>

<p>@horusb: I put Western Europeans but totally forgot about the African slave trade until you mentioned it. XD Now that I think about it, it would be Africans because of the tremendous amount of labor needed and the high mortality rate of working on the plantations.</p>

<p>I put Western Europeans.</p>

<p>I put Balkans for pastoral nomads. Im not exactly sure where or what the Balkans are, but the rest seemed wrong?</p>

<p>Balkans are south-east European countries like Macedony, Albany, Montenegro, Serbia etc.</p>

<p>Nomadic pastoralism was Sub-Saharan Africa since it was widespread in areas with harsh climates.</p>
