Straighterline U.S. history question for those that have taken it

[bhome83]

So I'm staring SL U.S. history 1. they have study guides for each exam. Do the questions from the exam come directly from the study guides? Or is the guide not very helpful even if i research the answers?

basically...U.S. history is dense with a lot of facts so have no idea what is going to be on the quizzes.

thanks guys.

You will need the textbook to pass this course. My wife is taking it right now and claims that many of the quiz answers depend on wording from the book. She picked on up cheap on Amazon.

Do you know if the exam questions are taken directly from the study guide questions provided? I am reading the textbook, but the study guide makes it seem like the exam questions are from the study guide. Just don't want any big surprises (stuff not on the study guide).

Thanks!

My wife says the exam had nothing to do with the study guide, but the homework seemed to be closer.

Are the answers easy enough to look up in the book? I'm reading the entire book, but don't have a clue what the quiz questions will be like. So much information!

Thanks. A straigterline rep told me the study guide correlated to the exam but I'll believe your wife.

ps - is the course relatively easy? There is just a ton of information so you don't know what could be on the test. The final is apparently closed book and notes too
