Official SAT Subject Test - World History - June 2015

1.I think the one about Rhodes diamonds is mercantilism that was what Rhodes promoted.
2.There was one about differene between Rome and Afriacan slaves-was it that rome’s majority wasn’t slaves and in the Americas it was since the ratio of blacks easily outnumbered the whites.
3.There was a question asking what languages was a book written-sansksrit or hindi

  1. I put mercantilism at first but changed it because I felt that Rhodes just tried to mine diamonds for himself--not necessarily for his country.
  2. The question asked the difference between slavery in Rome and the Americas; I put that the American slaves were more diverse and that the roman slaves were more ethnically homogeneous because the Americas had native Americans, blacks, mulattos, mestizos, etc.
  3. I put Sanskrit.

If I didn’t omit any, how many can I miss for an 800? 750?

@HopefulSOPH 1. I’m pretty sure Cecil Rhodes was about imperialism, the picture is pretty famous for that.
2. I didn’t get any of your answers. I think my answer is wrong though and @Yakisoba is right. I thought Roman slaves would not be homogeneous as Slavic people were ethnically diverse and Romans use conquered people as slaves which could potentially be a diverse group of people.
Roman slaves were definitely a majority of the population.
Not sure about the curve though, but roughly 14 wrong for a 800 and 20-21~ wrong for a 750.

@Yakisoba According to the two CollegeBoard tests I have, you can have anywhere from 17-20 blank for an 800 and 26-28 blank for a 750. You can do the math for how many wrong but it’s roughly the same, just add a few.

I got it wrong than darn its definitely neo-imperialism can someone comfirm the hindi or sankskrit.
Im not too sure about slaves being the majority of the population. Here is what I found online.
-* The slave population of Rome approached 500,000 on its own, probably half of which were owned by the 600 men of the Senate. Additional estimates have suggested that of the total 65 million people, 2 to 10 million may have been slaves.
That’s not a majority and the slaves in America were definitely the larger population.
The kongo one with the Portuguese was definitely slave because it was a major exporter in slaves

Similarity between marco polo and ibn battutu?

both worked in gov

  1. can anyone recap the one with crusades and western Europe? was it genoa? who actually remembers the questions

@HopefulSOPH I put Venice and Genoa.

For Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta I may have put that they worked for governments, but I might have changed my answer to both were missionaries or some other third choice. Ugh, it’s so fuzzy at this point.

@Yakisoba Do you remember the question for it?

Also I’m like 90% sure the answer was Sanskrit. I forgot the text name but I remembered it from class and it was written in Sanskrit.

One of the earlier questions was the picture with Virgin Mary-isn’t that one where Christianity was mixed with native gods?
Wat is the difference between Hinidi and Sanskrit lol

@HopefulSOPH Yeah you’re probably right. I put that the majority of slaves worked in mines in the americas, but your answer isn’t wrong so most likely my answer’s wrong.

Who remembers a quote in French?-was it king louise? cuz he says I am the state

Dutch painting? Was it that historians couldnt conclude about lifestyle of dutch merchants?

1.Similarity between Russia and Japanese modernization postWWII-was it Russia was in developing weapons and japan in exporting electronic
2.Chinese and Russia had in common? some answer choices were

@wecollegebound Yes I believe so

Medieval court with women and books, was that political power?

And yes russia was focused on military, japan electronics

I thought the question to do with the roman empire slaves was: the colonies in the new world in contrast to those in the Roman Empire had more slaves than free…
