I am planning to take the Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union DSST exam on 2/28 and I am defiantely concerned. The material certainly seems tough. I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to the questions on this exam and what they would compare to. I took Western Europe since 1945 last week and found the exam to ask some strangely worded questions and it did not rely too much on learning facts and more on what caused this and what was the outcome and such. I looked on the DSST website and it says that the Soviet Union exam is 95% fact based so I would appreciate some input to see if that is the case. Thanks

Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union does cover a lot of material. I just took this test friday and it was difficult for me to know if I was ready. One major help was finding the practice test on free clep prep. I made a 68% on it and made a 65 on the real test. Also it is very helpful to know who was in power for each time period. (Lenin 1919-1924 Stalin 1924-1953 and so on) then if they ask you what it was like in the 1930's you can think there's now way they would protest or whatever. Make sure you download the document from the specific feedback it is essential study material. Instant cert is good as always.
Hope this helps, Elizabeth

how did you access the practice tests from free clep prep? I get to the correct page, but when I click on DSST exams, I only locate a few and it doesn't include The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union. What am I doing wrong??

Yeah, I couldn't find a pre-test when I took this exam either.
Basically for this exam just know everything about what everybody did and who everybody was.
