    Thumbs down Took USSR Rise and Fall today...

    I concur with everyone here that said this test sucked!
    I studied IC for around two weeks, and listened to the audible book "The Cold War" (which was awesome). 6 questions into the test, I felt way over my head. All of the topics looked familiar enough to be dangerous, but only about 25% of the questions seemed familiar enough to be answered with any hope of success.
    Those questions that had the roman numerals seemed waaaaay over the top! (I and II, I,II,III,or V)
    I am hoping for the best but would not be surprised at all to see this one come back a 30.
    On the flipside, I passed Conflicts Since 1900 with a 512 (High C?) but hey, it's a pass for a UL credit!

    It's always darkest before the dawn when dealing with DANTES exams.

    No one ever feels confident coming out from one and its a looonnngg three weeks before the brown envelope arrives so take heart, prepare for your next exam and move on.

    Good Luck!!

    Default passed it!

    As a bolt of mana from heaven!
    I got a 52 which is a solid B+ at Excelsior.
    Man did I not feel confident about this one. I only used IC, a little Wiki on the artists and authors and listened to the Cold War, available from Audible.com!
    Studied for 5 days at least 1 to 2 hours a day. Listened to the audio at the gym.

    Good luck to everyone on this one, and thanks to everyone who supported me!
