There was one question about the similarity between the Ming and another culture at the time, and I'm pretty sure the answer was that both had a monarchy and something else.

<p>Good memory. The answer was that both were monarchies, but I forget what the other state was.</p>

<p>Wasn't it the Ming and Europe?</p>
<p>No, this is a different question.</p>
<p>I think there was one question on a key point in the protestant movement. The answer was something along the lines of crticism of the papacy.</p>
<p>Oh yes, there was a question regarding the khmer rouge and pol pot.
The answer was the creation of a communist state on the chinese model.</p>

<p>Mmmm... yes I recall this one as well.</p>
<p>Do you perchance know what the second Ming question is (with the answer involving monarchy)?</p>

<p>Was there a question about Adam Smith's views, the answer being laissez-faire capitalism? And one about the reason behind Martin Luther's starting the Reformation, the answer maybe being the extent of papal power? I think there was a question about the rebuilding of Europe with the Marshall Plan as a answer.</p>
<p>You know guys, if the people at the College Board saw our list, they'd probably choke ;-).</p>

<p>Very, very good.</p>
<p>I am overwhelmingly impressed by your memory, tamirms. You put the rest of us to shame. :)</p>

<p>I do remember an answer involving monarchy with a question that was comparing to empires, one of them could very well have been Ming, but I'm as unsure of as the rest of us at this point. I confirm s'vrone's questions on laissez-faire and Adam Smith as well as the marshall plan question.</p>

<p>That's right -- a document question where the author said that Europe couldn't sustain itself without aid</p>

<p>[url=<a href="http://powerpolitics.org/school/worldhistory.html%5D79/95%5B/url">http://powerpolitics.org/school/worldhistory.html]79/95[/url</a>] until I can get some elaboration on both the Adam Smith question and the Ming / Monarchy question.</p>
<p>Edit: [url=<a href="http://powerpolitics.org/school/worldhistory.html%5D80/95%5B/url">http://powerpolitics.org/school/worldhistory.html]80/95[/url</a>] with the Adam Smith confirmation.</p>

Rak, I have looked at your blog, powerpolitics.org, and must remark that it was incredibly cogent and sophisticated. Without prior knowledge I would have thought the blog belonged to a phd student; that in my opinion, is much more impressive than my memory.</p>
<p>I think there was one question where they showed an excerpt that espoused militarist/expansionist policies in east Asia, the answer for it was Japan.</p>
<p>I'll have to second tamirms. The blog is very impressive.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.powerpolitics%5B/url%5D.%5Bb%5Dorg%5B/b%5D/">http://www.powerpolitics.**org**/</a>, mind you. :p</p>
<p>But thanks for the praise, I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>Still, anyone can spend time studying issues and writing up opinions. The fact that you can come out of a test, two days later, and have an absolutely amazing recollection of half the test questions that a group of highly intelligent and detail-oriented students forget is something very unique, I must say.</p>

<p>Yeah I realized the mistake on the url, and edited it.</p>
<p>Well I must thank both of you for helping to put my mind at ease. Otherwise I would have worried a lot more about what I got on the test.</p>
<p>I don't remember that Japan question at all... does anyone remember any more specific wording for it or what some of the other answers were?</p>
<p>If you make 25 mistakes what would you score be?</p>
<p>barely breaking 700. like me :(</p>
