SAT II: World History Discussion

<p>Anyone want to go over any questions?</p>

<p>Okay, you go first</p>

<p>Heh... I don't know... what was that Nasser cartoon question? I think I put something about consumption. Overall, I hope I broke 700... it's a close call.</p>

<p>population curb I think</p>

<p>Darn... what about the Aztec/Maya question? I put something about how Aztec was ruled by nobles while Maya was ruled by priests. I don't know.</p>

<p>ya that's what I put</p>

<p>Whew... at least I'm doing something right, then. I pretty much took this test blindly. I had only one year of world history (not AP). I think the curve was what tempted me. I know some things about history, but I probably should have considered a different subject. Oh well. Oh yeah... what about matching some Asian countries with European countries? I thought the misfit was Germany - Burma, but I wasn't sure.</p>

<p>It was Philippines - United States. United States was granted control over the Philippines after they defeated Spain in the Spanish-American War, which was year 1898. </p>

<p>Pretty confident about the test - although I took the test pretty much cold because our teacher decided not to come to class after the AP test. Took one SATII practice test, which was the one offered in PrincetonReview's book.</p>

<p>Wait... but wasn't it finding the misfit? I could have sworn that I saw the word "NOT".</p>

<p>Then again, I don't remember the question in its entirety.</p>

<p>I put Burma- Germany</p>

<p>YAY!!! Are you sure? LOL.</p>

<p>Yes, and if I remember correctly the question asked that in a certain time period. And the U.S. would be void because it got control almost during the turn of the century into the 20th.</p>

<p>Then again I could be wrong.</p>

<p>But Germany never conquered Burma, did they?</p>

<p>US got control after the specified time period, but germany never had control of burma. just a bad question in my opinion</p>

<p>Ya, that's what I thought during the test.</p>

<p>That question annoys me to death. Apparently ETS goofed on that one... The question asked which choice was incorrect during the Colonial Period. Taking this into account, the Philippines were owned by Spain during the colonial period (1700s). The USA did not get ahold of them until 1890s. However, it doesn't look like Germany ever conquered Burma either...</p>

<p>So we have a problem</p>

<p>Would they delete that question?</p>

<p>There's three threads of world history, I feel like I'm fighting a 3 fronted war.</p>

<p>I agree, haha. I think we should decide which one to stick with.</p>
