Official SAT Subject Test - World History - June 2015

At first I had no idea what it was, then I looked at the answer choices, saw three of them contained the word “woman,” looked back at the picture, and was like “that’s a woman?”

don’t cancel, these tests aren’t that big of a deal, just retake or take a different one. us history is easy just wait until then

I know that -18 raw score is usually the cutoff for an 800. Does that roughly translate to 14 incorrect, no omits?

@Yakisoba Yes.

Some people say that it could be -20 raw is still an 800. Hopefully that’s true haha

So apparently collegeboard reused a lot of these questions:

I didn’t see a question that asked about the crusades and Venice or genoa… Do people get different tests and questions???

Also there was a question about the most commercial or successful city in the world in some century I don’t remember… The answer choices were London Madrid Paris Amsterdam and something else

@salt123 Yeah I got that wrong. It was amsterdam.

@Yakisoba wow if I only looked at that, I would have missed so much less.

@rdeng2614 Did you put London? Because I did lol.

I’m at 10 wrong no omits so far…I really hope I didn’t miss any more than this UGH

For the Yalta Conference question, breaking up of Axis lands was the correct answer, but was there a choice that said “discuss peace negotiations with the Axis?” If so I put that latter and it’s wrong. Of course I already factored this question into my -10 so far.

There was answer choice for breaking up axis lands? I picked something about political arrangement of Axis territory or something.
I put Madrid because of the silver trade but I checked online and on the past thread and it is Amsterdam. Damn though, the books never even talked about Amsterdam and it turns out to be the right answer.

@rdeng2614 I think that’s what I put. I remember picking something that had Axis in it.

I feel like once scores come out I’ll be really disappointed. Ugh I can’t wait any longer!

@Yakisoba It seems like you did fine. This thread went over most of the hard questions and if you only missed 10 you should be set for a 800.

I may have missed more than that though. And I also missed some easy questions like Inca vs. Aztec, which was bigger. sigh

How did you guys think you did?

I didn’t do that well, I think I missed like 10 from this forum, probably even more ugh wtf

Oh I did pretty bad. -15~ from this forum alone.

Yeah I don’t think I made an 800. I missed 25-30 on each Barrons practice test.

Guys anyone retaking it in november? If so we should definitly compile a new thread with all the past test questions
because i saw atleast 10 repeats according to the blog and we could’ve saved some points on that

@HopefulSOPH Are you canceling or just retaking? You shouldn’t cancel, because you can always retake or use scorechoice. I was considering canceling but if you do well, youre going to hate yourself.
