Moving right along in the world of "upper level courses"..has anyone tested out of this course yet. I can't help but, believe that alot of us will be taking this to satisfy course requirements. Stories, hints, ideas, prayers{!}, and suggestions are extremely welcome.

I will be taking the DANTES Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union exam as soon as I complete the DANTES Civil War and Reconstruction exam. I am taking both to complete my UPPER level credits and depth requirement in history.

Here are the study materials that I have:

The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Empire by Raymond Pearson (Amazon-USED)

Soviet Politics 1917-1991 by Mary McAuley (Amazon-USED)

The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union - VHS tapes (Amazon-USED)

DANTES (Rudman's) Rise & Fall of the Soviet Union (http://www.passbooks.com or AMAZON)

.......and many many PRAYERS too!!

GOOD LUCK!!

I slipped by this one using only Wikipedia


One note...the outline says that you dont need anything before 1917, but go all the way back to 1890. I had a big section on pre-revolution activities and actions of the govt. I think that really drove my score down


ALot of Lenin, Stalin, and Kruzchev, very little of the latter leaders, although know the Bereznif(spell) doctrine about coming to the aid of communist govts.

I took the test today and I will agree with Ispahn here. Sorry I didn't use the flash card as I've just joined.

Know some of the famous Russian defectors and writers.

It's about 100 questions.

Thursday at one o'clock I'll travel up to the U of Texas at Arlington and test out on this subject. I awake at 5am each morning and study for 8 hours a day till then. Hopefully, that will be enough!

Just recieved my test results for Civil War and Reconstruction and Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union:

Civil War= 70

Soviet Union= 58

Both passing scores thanks to Instacert. I used Instacert almost exclusively for the Soviet Union test with the exception of a thin Sparknotes guide that only covered the Russion Revolution. For the Civil War I used two Sparknotes guides and Instacert. Instacert is the BOMB!
