<p>ah! I should have known that. Now I'm missed 7. Err..I'm doomed. :(</p>
<p>Chill Out.</p>
<p>Seven that you know of ;).</p>
<p>That should still be an 800 though.</p>
<p>Yeah, but I'm bound to miss a lot more. </p>
<p>I know SHintoism was the answer to one of the questions, but was Zen Buddhism an answer as well?</p>
<p>It was the answer for what did Japan not import (Shinto developed indigenously).</p>
<p>That preface to the samurai novel showed the influence of Zen Buddhism, I believe, because of the abstract themes, flowery writing, and use of metaphor.</p>
<p>Incidentally, Charlemagne promoted a revival in Latin scholarship and education, in case you weren't sure of that one (which I got wrong).</p>
<p>Yeah, that's what I put for all three. Also I remember there was a question about Mali, and I remember putting that it had a lot of gold deposits. Is that right?</p>
<p>the great library of antiquity = Alexandria (not Timbuktu)</p>
<p>I checked that on Wikipedia</p>
<p>yup I got that too.</p>
<p>What was the one on Allies and Axis in World War II?</p>
<p>more industrial productivity?</p>
<p>Mali = strong control and dominance over trade</p>
<p>The axis one was that they lost the Battle of Stalingrad.</p>
<p>but i don't think that was an answer choice</p>
<p>I thought the Mali one was specifically about gold. Mali controlled about half the world's gold at that time, I believe. For the other one, I put industrial productivity as well, but I'm not so sure. </p>
<p>This article mentions air power in addition to the US's and the Soviet Union's industrial productivity. Was that an answer?</p>
<p>Yeah I put gold too, but on Encarta it says they controlled trade.</p>
<p>the REAL SAT II says the minimum scaled score to get an 800 is 80.</p>
<p>so you can miss up to 12 and still get 800?</p>
<p>Do any of you know the answer to the question about Muslim Spain. Did it help to spread knowledge or something?</p>
<p>Mali's power specifically came from it's large deposits of gold (that's definitely what they were looking for).</p>
<p>The best answer for why the Allies won was due to their superior industrial production.</p>
<p>The Muslims preserved and spread scientific knowledge (actually they preserved a lot more of historic Western culture / ideas but in this case science was the specific answer).</p>
<p>"so you can miss up to 12 and still get 800?"</p>
<p>I'm going to find out the latest and most accurate curve in a few days, and I'll post it on this thread when I do.</p>
<p>I still think the choice on trade control was correct</p>
