<p>It definitely had something to do with the colonies serving no other purpose but to benefit the home country economically. I can’t remember exactly what I put now.</p>
<p>It’s actually fairly impressive that we’ve managed to come up with 87 of the 95 questions.</p>
<p>@Harrovian Yeah I second that. Its been drilled into my head incessantly, “trade for the benefit of the mother country”</p>
<p>Maybe we can reach 95? everyone?</p>
<p>For now we can only clinch certain scores, and so far I think I’ve only clinched 690, if I get everything else wrong.</p>
<p>Ok thanks, maybe those things were onthe same answer:)
Wow, only 8 questions left.</p>
<p>Assuming all the questions that I was iffy on and are inconclusive atm I got wrong, then my raw score is down to an 83. (Though I think my counting’s iffy. I seem to have dropped from a minimum of 84 to a minimum of 83 since the last time I counted without actually getting any new questions wrong…) Pretty good considering I thought I bombed the test, but a huge step down from what I’ve been doing on practice tests.</p>
<p>D’you guys reckon we don’t remember the last 8 because they were too easy, and we breezed past them or because they were too obscure/analytical for us to bother remembering?</p>
<p>I think it was because they were too easy. I’m 95% sure that all the iffy questions I had have already been answered.</p>
<p>All the questions i got wrong were on the first 53 questions on our list.</p>
<p>Yeah I think I had only 2-4 mistakes past #53 (still debatable or unsure).</p>
<p>Most of the answers I got wrong for sure were the first ones I mentioned</p>
<p>Add the fact that the curve is likely to be lenient, most of us should do fine. :D</p>
<p>Ah, i remember confucianism being about ethics and politics</p>
<p>Yes. That’s definitely on the test.</p>
<p>And why is question 22 the Franks? I thought it was the Byzantines and the Sassanids. Especially since the Sassanids fell in the 7th century, and the Byzantines were always under seige and attack. And the Franks make no sense at all because they were German and that was half a continent away from the muslim world.</p>
<p>88 right there</p>
<p>There are some unresolved items until now though, namely: </p>
<ol>
<li>Pastoral Nomads</li>
<li>Egyptian dude & Pharoah</li>
<li>Redistribution of Lands</li>
<li>Decolonization in Africa</li>
</ol>
<p>It’d be appreciated if anyone had the answers</p>
<p>Was Redistribution of Land the one in Africa? I thought it was to provide more equality for everyone because a lot of African dictators and whatnot came into power on the promises of equality… The only other choice that made any sense was the expanded tax base and that wasn’t true.</p>
<p>@Harrovian, in 732, the Franks halted the Islamic spread in the Battle of Tours</p>
<p>See this for details: [Battle</a> of Tours (732 A.D.)](<a href=“http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/imperialism/notes/tours.html]Battle”>Battle of Tours (732 A.D.))</p>
<p>Oh. I had no idea. (But wasn’t the time frame the 7th century and not the 8th?)</p>
<p>@Harrovian someone here said it was to decrease aristocratic power. I’m not sure if it was in africa, but i do remember putting the equality thing too</p>
<p>I don’t remember aristocratic power being an option…</p>
<p>And i’m sure the islam question is Sassanid and Byzantine. </p>
<p><a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquests[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquests</a></p>
<p>It says here that the byzantine-muslim wars started in 634 and the conquest of Persia (Sassanids) was 633-651.</p>
<p>alright. i’ll edit the answer. </p>
<p>btw point taken with the 7th century thing. I do remember byzantium was constantly at war and so were the sassanids in the same time period, but byzantium was mostly harassed, not really conquered until 1435 i think</p>
<p>Yeah. I know Barron’s said that since Justinian the Byzantines were basically always at war, and I probably spent a good minute trying to figure out when Justinian ruled. lol. Probably should’ve just moved on, ran out of time to check the last page which I could’ve done with 1 extra minute.</p>
<p>Any opinion on egypt and the pastoral nomads thing? I don’t even remember the question for the nomads anymore.</p>
<p>The nomad question was the relationship between nomads and settled villagers. </p>
<p>Barron’s says that nomads were agents of change, empire builders, long-distance traderes, and mercenaries.</p>
