June 2012 World History SAT II

<p>@pzowie I put that too. For the French one, I put that they were both spurred from unsuccessful wars or something like that.</p>

<p>And I just realized that I forgot to change the “Analects of Confucius/Torah/Code of Hammurabi” answer to “code of conduct.”</p>

<p>Dam.n.</p>

<p>@douglasgirl but i don’t think the french were spurred from an unsuccessful war, right? they were successful because they supported the american effort in the american revolution but it left them with debt which led them to tax peasants</p>

<p>Random stuff:</p>

<p>Mahayana vs. Theraveda Buddhism: bodhisattvas?
Meiji restoration was characterized by all of the following except: elimination of most foreign influences?
Where were wheat, barley, goats, and sheep first domesticated? I put southwest Asia (Sumer).
European women were affected by 19th century industrialization because: birth rates increased? lol.</p>

<p>What about the Seven Years War?</p>

<p>I think birth rates decreased during the industrialization. Correct me if I’m wrong…</p>

<p>@toasti: yes for bodhisattvas! oh my, i put they didnt eliminate the warrior (samurai?) privileges -__- i think i was thinking about the tokugawa shogunate changes. i put southeast asia too, and i think i put birth rates increased (i might have erased it cuz i didn’t want to get it wrong but that was probably an obvious one huh…)</p>

<p>@Douglasgirl: What was the question on that?</p>

<p>Edit: oops, I meant southwest Asia for the domestication question. xD</p>

<p>Well, this subject test was way more difficult than I expected it to be! :P</p>

<p>I also put that the french/bolshevik revolution sought to spread their ideas…I wasn’t really sure of the answer, but none of the other ones fit imo so that’s what I ended up going with.</p>

<p>as for the wheat question, wasn’t that question 2? I remember seeing it and thinking, well, there goes my 800. haha was Southwest asia an answer choice too? Since the sumerians/early valley civilizations were there, I remember putting ‘A’ as my answer </p>

<p>How many do you think you guys missed total?</p>

<p>ohh okay yeah i was apprehensive about that because i think they had birth control or something and the children were seen as “liabilities rather than assets” so the family life was more nuclear</p>

<p>There wasn’t a questions on it. I was referring to the Seven Years War (French and Indian War)being the war that was unsuccessful for the French.</p>

<p>Wasn’t it a larger middle class women who assumed homemaker duties. I don’t even know…</p>

<p>@ Toasti.I put that middle class women became full time homeowners (A) but it’s probably wrong now that I think about it. </p>

<p>There was a quote from Queen Nzinga (or was it King Alfonso?) and then it asked what it was referring to.</p>

<p>@Purplepigeon: Don’t worry about it, compared to other subject tests you need to get a lot wrong to get below an 800 (I think around 15). I think if I’m lucky I got 10 wrong so 82/95.</p>

<p>@horub: It was the slave trade.</p>

<p>@Douglasgirl: That ended a while before, around 1763 while the French Revolution was 1789.</p>

<p>@ Toasti Wasn’t that on the AP Exam? Also, there were like 4 questions that had “Enlightenment” as the answer. xD </p>

<p>There was a passage and then it asked who were “the people of the religion” or something like that.</p>

<p>@Toasti: Okay, awesome. I think I missed around 12-ish, hopefully my estimate’s not too off! </p>

<p>There was this one question about Crete, what did you all put for it? I said that Crete gained its power from dominating other city-states around it…it was either that or the trade one.</p>

<p>@horusb: Now that you mention it, I think it was haha, except it referred to the slave trade directly. The “people of the religion” were the “people of the book,” so Jews and Christians.</p>

<p>@Purplepigeon: I think it was trading, since the Minoans were active traders.</p>

<p>I said trade. And yeah I didn’t know who the protected religions were. Was the point of the passage that peace with Muslims was tumultuous (think it was A)?</p>

<p>@ PurplePigeon.</p>

<p>I picked because of Crete’s location in the Mediterranean. If I remember correctly, Minoans (Crete) were peaceful and were traders.</p>

<p>@msteiny</p>

<p>You mean the “uneasy peace with Muslims” (A)?</p>

<p>i said people of the book were jews and christians and the next one was an uneasy peace with muslims. i thought the one with the king and the quote in the question was gold trade cuz it was kongo? is that different from congo? i said crete had like a good spot or something on the mediterranean, the one involving trade/wealth</p>
