    I LOVE IT! That's a line we'll all have to remember! Let us know how it goes on Monday then...though it doesn't sound like you have much to worry about!

    Take care,

    Since you guys are kind enough to leave input on the exams, I thought I would contribute. I took the US History II today and got a 66 on it. I found that around 60 of the questions were from 1865 to 1900 and then the other 60 questions were from 1900 to around 1980. The questions are very superficial, so I think one could use just instant cert and pass this exam, although the practice tests in the REA book did help, I noticed a few of the questions were the exact same.

    Excellent Spazz,

    When you score nice and high like that, it makes you wish the exam was graded rather than pass/fail.

    Great feedback too, that's what makes this place tick.

    How many more exams are you allowed to take? Do you have your next subject picked out?

    Congrats again...keep it up,
    Snazzlefrag

    Congratulations! I'm taking this one on Tuesday, so the more input the better.

    I just got into the Peterson's site, and took my first practice exam and got a 53%. It was kind of scary, lots of very similar answers.

    Good to hear that IC should be enough. Way to go on passing another!

    Yeah I scored about the same also. That test also scared me so much I went out and bought the REA Book. But the actual test is no way like the petersons. You will be able to eliminate 3 of the answers easily, and in some cases 4 answers. The questions are so much easier then petersons. Good luck!!
