advice for history majors - World Conflicts since 1900 or Vietnam War DSST???

[shelbaline4]

Hello all. I am planning on obtaining a BA in History from TESC and I am trying to figure out which option will make the most sense and be the easiest to study for. I was planning on taking the following exams/classes to fulfill the requirements in my area of study (History) and wanted some input from others on this most helpful forum. I was planning on taking...
for non-western history credits- An Intro to the Modern Middle East-DSST
for my History electives...
Civil War and Reconstruction - DSST
The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union - DSST
War and American Society - TESC course - 6 credits - upper level
Middle East HIS310 - TESC course - 3 credits - upper level
World Conflicts since 1900 - ECE exam - 3 credits upper level

I am wondering if I am better off substituting the World Conlicts since 1900 with the VIetnam War DSST exam. I was worried about the names in the Vietnam era, but now I am getting concerned about going with a different format altogether with a ECE exam...any advice of input??

I am concerned that there won't be the same amount of simplified study material out there for ECE exams as opposed to CLEP and DSST exams. I am already finding DSST study materials to be lacking compared to CLEP. I am just confusing myself and want to get a clear idea of where to go next. I already took the Western Civ II CLEP and Western Europe since 1945 DSST and am now studying The Rise and Fall of The Soviet Union DSST so I figured the World Conflicts since 1900 would have a good deal of overlap. Am I correct in thinking that?? As you can see, I am very confused...

I haven't taken World Conflicts, but will tell you that the Vietnam Test was pretty easy. The IC flashcards were right on it for this exam. Make sure you also go over the Specific exam feedback and you will pass it with no problems.

I agree with CLEP101. The vietnam cards are on target and someone posted an excellent study guide in the specific feedback forum. I spent only about four or five hours using IC cards and then read the study guide twice just before taking the exam. That strategy got me the highest test score I have.

I have not taken the world conflicts exam but I imagine it would be a bit difficult to study for. The vietnam DSST is much simpler thanks to this site.
