    Default US History 1

    Hi all,

    Since the test center had a opening and I had the time I went ahead and took US History 1 this morning also. Passed with a 65. There were more questions on women's roles and concerns than I had expected but other than that I think that IC was plenty. The breakdown of the exam on collegeboard.com was right on the money. As someone else has said-this is a broadbased exam. So knowing the major people and events is the key.

    Ha ha! I agree with Shoto! Good for you for getting that one done "on the spur-of-the-moment"! I wish I could do that!

    Keep up the great work!

    Thanks Brian and JoAnne-

    I had put in a few hours of review but hadn't taken a Peterson's test, etc. so didn't think I was ready. I think that I am as surprised as anyone. Taking 2 tests in one day is scary to me but I will need to take two at once when I start taking the DSST exams because of the driving distance so on the spur of the moment I thought this might be a good way to get my feet wet. I can't believe how tired I felt afterwards though. Had to go to work for a few hours after and barely was able to get done what I needed to.

    I am elated with 9 credits in three hours. A credit every 20 minutes! I don't know of any other method of college that can compete with that!!! Hooray for IC!

    Kate
