I have yet to take either Civil War or Soviet Union history tests for the simple fact I have zero interest in either of them, to study them is pure misery. Anyone out there have any advice? I know I previously posted I don't care about the honors, but after all this work, why not go for it? Your help, as always, is appreciated. Thanks, Lee

I havent taken either Civil War or Social Psych and I know the wisdom on here says go with Civil War. I would gather by looking at your signature that your concentration is in Psychology. As with any decision, the final decision is up to you, But let me ask this, how much effort would you have to put in, in order to get an "A" in a subject "Civil War" that you have "absolutely no interest in" Now, what if you took that same level of effort and put it into Social Psychology. Something that apparently your interested in and I would guess at least the underlaying foundation in. Just something to think about.
And if your interested the 4th edition of the recommended text is available at Valore.com for $4.90. Good luck with what ever choice you make,
