<p>awesome scores oasis! then you must have pwnd the test, unlike me...</p>
<p>does the real book contain a curve for the test? If so, what would be the minimum raw score in order to achieve a 750?</p>
<p>Here is the curve for the Real: (well up to 700...:p)</p>
<p>80 to 95 - 800
79 - 790
77 to 78 - 780
76 - 770
74 to 75 - 760
73 - 750
71 to 72 - 740
69 to 70 - 730
67 to 68 - 720
66 - 710
64 to 65 - 700</p>
<p>Good luck!! Hope you made not 750, but 800 =)</p>
<p>haha i wish! more like a 008 instead of a 800 (ok this is a incredibly dumb statement...)</p>
<p>Well, I'm one of those people who're NOT taking AP yet still taking the course cause I'm really very dumb...</p>
<p>Sooo...I started studying the WHOLE course this week with the barron's like 5 hours a day and pretty much breezed through it..</p>
<p>The African tribes, man...I put down Zulu for that one. And about the ancient river valleys...was that one HEALTHY CLIMATE? x.X Hmmm... I marked down Iran for a question I was unsure of (I think something about colonization or the ottomans? I forgot).. Oh yes! And another question...which two bordering nations exploded w/ nuclear capabilities in the late 90's--Was that Pakistan/India? The christian question "thou--something Peter"..what was the answer to that? HISTOGRAPHY?? What the BLOODY HELL is that?!</p>
<p>I was just about to post but it said after 10 AM PST, which is 1 PM my time.
So......I THINK I DID HORIBBLY :(.
I know I got eight+ wrong already, probably fifteen+ by the end of the day lol.</p>
<p>ummm....not time yet....(should only be 8 PA right now)</p>
<p>haha.. i put everything the exact same as u.. except i skipped the river valley one,i was gonna put the drinking water.. then i as like hmm seems too simple....and sumthing peter was authority of pope, and historgraphy i put like the last one.. record by governemtn of sum crap.. cuz graphy means record in medical terminology.. LOL.. i dunno.. im really stupid.. lol..wutever.. its overrrrr...</p>
<p>Meh? Oh yes, some kids haven't taken the test yet!..brought to my attention by Ed/oasis x.x</p>
<p>What did you guys put for the river valley one?</p>
<p>I believe I put Greece. India - Indus River, Egypt - Nile, Mesopotamia - Tigris/Euphrates, and so forth.</p>
<p>I mean the growth of civ in relation with the river valleys</p>
<p>Oh... do you remember the answer choices?</p>
<p>Unfortunately no....</p>
<p>*Which of the following was the reason why ancient inhabitents lived near river valleys..da..da..da?
-The resources of metals found in teh rivers
-The protection barrier from the river
-The healthy climate of the river .."something something"
-<forgot the="" 4th="" option=""></forgot></p>
<p>I put..HEALTHY CLIMATE because all the other choices just seemed very wrong. x.x</p>
<p>i said for protection/security...</p>
<p>miwako, are you Japanese?!</p>

<p>I didn't take the test, but I can tell you that the primary reason ancient civilizations located themselves near river valleys was to exploit them as a resource for food (high quality natural irrigation) and fresh water (self-explanatory). These were precious commodities that were too scarce elsewhere to support a well developed civil society (until the development of organized trade much more recently, in my opinion). So if "healthy climate" meant that, you're correct.</p>
<p>no. irrigation was one of the answer choices. that is the correct answer.</p>
<p>I agree with irrigation.</p>
<p>Both naturally irrigated areas and stable sources of fresh water were very hard to find outside of a river. If "irrigation" and "drinking water" were two distinct and exclusive responses, then I'd have to pick irrigation. If they were both contained within one answer, that answer is obviously correct.</p>
<p>They're both very essential pieces to the puzzle of why civilizations were typically centered in river valleys.</p>
