Ok I took and passed the US History II test today with a 57 and have the following thoughts…..

The test was not at all what I was expecting in regards to a history test, it was almost more of English lit test.

- There were many many questions on the different writings and poems of different authors and you had to pick the author and or era it came from.

- The test had nothing on it about any of the presidential assassinations

- The test had nothing on Pearl Harbor , Midway, Battle of the Bulge , Coral Sea or anything else related to wars and or battles.

- The test had basically nothing on any of the acts, maybe two questions total out of 120 on acts and what they did

- The test had basically nothing on any presidential candidates, party affiliations or elections. Maybe a total of four questions in this whole area.

- If I were studying for it again (knowing what I know now) I would study the following

- Know everything about civil rights

- Know everything about Web Dubious, Marcus Garvey, Booker T Washington, Malcolm X, etc

- Know everything about the Jim Crow laws, Plessy vs. Ferguson, Brown vs. Topeka.

- Really know the literature of each decade, who wrote the books, the poems, etc

- Understand the dumbbell tenants

- Know everything you can about the use of Mexicans for farm workers in the 1950s and 60s

Feel free to ask me any more questions, and I will answer what I can.

I used the REA book and IC almost exclusively.
