What have you studied for this test? I have used IC and sparknotes.
Good luck, Rob on Tues.

Hi Tim,
I forgot about Sparknotes. Thanks for the reminder.
I have been using Instancert.com, wikipedia.com, and spartacus. Wikipedia is excellent for history subjects because you can read an overview, and then click on the various hotlinks to go as deep as you want in your studies. Eg, you read about the war, and can click on a hotlink for one specific battle. Once there, you can click on a hotlink for one particular general...and so on.
I also watched the free lerner.org videos I mentioned in my earlier post. I really enjoyed those. I actually ended up watching Videos 8-13.
I will definitely also read through Sparknotes before Tuesday. Their notes are usually very good.
I think you should do well with Instantcert and Sparknotes as your sources. If you want to look up anything in more detail, you can do a search for it on Wikipedia.com.
The factsheet for Civil War says that this exam is "100% Knowledge of Basic Facts and Terms". So the more information you are exposed to, the better you should do on this one.
Please let us know how you go on next week.
Good luck,
Snazzlefrag
