    Took Principles of Supervision next, still waiting results. I had more time to study, and I had the books. There was not much in the books, however, that was covered faster in InstantCert. I breezed through the test, and I am not worried.

    Daddyo, sorry to see you failed Intro to Business Law. What happened? Did you study the IC material? Very interested to know since I am scheduled to take this exam next week.

    You seem to be doing great on your other exams. Hang in there, focus on the other exams for now and you'll soon be up for another try.

    Christa

    Well done yutzyj,

    Congratulations to you AND your husband...you kicked his butt on this one! Ha ha!

    Do you have any advice/feedback for us on the US History I exam? Did you use just Instantcert? Any areas to specifically focus on? Any weird questions to watch out for? Etc.

    Good luck on your US History II exam,
    Snazzlefrag

    Default us hist 1

    thank you for the support. my husband likes to say i crushed him, crush, crush, crush. i think this is some line from some movie that he saw. i have way more time to work on this than he does.

    feedback, hmmmmm....... i have to say that i am still so surprised when i see that i've passed that all testing info goes right out of my head. i even try to remember general things to report back when i am taking the test. there were 120 questions and it took practically the whole time to answer them. there was very, very little on the early europeans that came to north america, and quite a bit on the civil war and colonial life. not too much on manufacturing or the west. some questions on the plains indians. right or wrong, i answered them from remembering what i saw in dances with wolves. maybe about five questions on art and literature of the time - american, of course. no questions on court cases except dredd scott. some questions on the articles of confederation and the constitution, the differences. my husband's test was not the same exact test as mine but i think he expressed some of the same things. i'm surprised i remember that much.

    So basically, if we watch Dances with Wolves a few times, we should be good to go, right? Just kidding!


    Your feedback is excellent yutzyj...don't sell yourself short. Every bit of information we can compile about each exam helps.

    I'm heading out for my USSR exam in a couple of hours. I am doing some last minute review right now.

    Wish me luck,
