@WhatDat I feel like you’re a lot more knowledgeable on world history than I am…I’m missing a lot more than you. Also my studying schedule was like this:
-Diagnostic - Collegeboard Test: -25
Prep
-Barrons Test 1: -25
Prep
-Barrons Test 2: -32
Prep

So honestly I have no idea how I’ll do. All I’m hoping for is <-20 haha

122

Does anyone else remember any questions?

123

@Yakisoba that sounds like it could be right… I think I chose the answer that only mentioned one country and then an activity

I have a few more questions for you if you don’t mind:

  1. about the Chinese communist revolution- what were the communists against? or was it what were the nationalists against?
  2. making an argument about decolonization… inequality still persisted?
  3. what the boundary lines for Jordan and Afghanistan are like today? after WWI?
  4. Zheng he expedition… could’ve countered European imperialism early on if continued?
124

Man no worries I was doing -40 ~ -45s before I sat my ass down and started studying lol. I also skipped 11 questions so I’m just hoping I got as many right as possbile

125
  1. I'm not sure I remember this question.
  2. Yes
  3. If you're referring to Britain and France drawing it after WWI to preserve their interests, then yes.
  4. Yes

So far I think we’re both doing great

126

@WhatDat 1. Don’t know didn’t see that.
2. That’s what I said.
3. Yes it was because of the French and British splitting up the middle east.
4. Yes.

What’s the curve on this? Is it -18 Raw score for an 800?

127

@rdeng2614 yeah that curve seems to be the general guide

you guys sure you don’t remember the question? I think some of the answer choices were: anti-nationalist, against Chinese imperial/dynastic rule,

128

something about Guomindang maybe

129

What did you guys put for the How was Byzantine linked to Western Europe and the one about why was Byzantine empire was formed (some answer choices were like to build a second Rome emperor claimed heir to Roman Caesar to safeguard against the Persians the traditional patriarch and something about Constantinople)

130

@WhatDat If you can remember as much as possible about the question, then I could probably recognize it and give you an answer.

More questions:

  1. Cecil Rhodes - Commercialism and Diamonds?
  2. Most demographic change - Africans to America, Latin American crops/silver/idr to Europe, something else?
  3. not much is known about Indus Valley b/c its written code wasn’t decipherable?
131
  1. Passage about discipline by Han Feizi - Legalism?
  2. The passage about Chan Buddhism was trying to mix Buddhism and Confucianism?
132

@rdeng2614 For the first one I said they were heirs and 2nd Rome. I don’t think I remember having the second one.

133

@Yakisoba Answers were like: The legacy of helping Western Europe with the Crusades, the trading cities of Venice and Genoa, Arab cities in the Iberian Peninsula etc.

134

@rdeng2614 Oh, I remember now. I said Venice and Genoa

135

What did you guys put for the passage written by the King of Kongo to the King of Portugal? Choices were gold trade, salt trade, slave trade, and two others, and I put slave trade, but that seems a bit too obvious, so I think it might be wrong…I knew nothing about it.

136

This was my first time taking SAT subject tests. Honestly, the hardest part was probably the cursive.

137

^lol. But this test was pretty hard tbh. I was around question ~75 when the proctor called 10 minutes left, and I was like oh crap. Luckily the questions that don’t involve passages don’t take too long to figure out, so I finished with about 3 minutes left.

138

@yakisoba That is correct about the letter to king Alfonso of Kongo to Portugal it was slaves I just looked it up

139

@salt123 Thanks! Anything else? I don’t really remember any other questions.

140

WhatDat are you taking the test in the US? seems like your questions are different.
