civil war question-exam soon - adoncia - 12-14-2006
hello everyone,
i am studying like crazy for this test and even dream about it:o sometimes.Today i got more than 75% of the instantcert questions right and was feeling really confident...until.. i googled 'civil war battles chronological order' and i am perplexed now.
Many of the battles listed on most of the civil war websites sound different(except the very important ones) and there are so many that are not even mentioned on instantcert and then thirdly there are so many of them....:confused:
I don't know whether there will be questions on those smaller battles because i have no idea about them.I searched for Generals and again so many new names came up.
I don't know if this means i should have studied a textbook also but i want to take this exam soon..maybe Saturday or early next week and i am thoroughly confused.
Also in the instantcert guide every answer is explained in detail...i don't know if the minor details about each battle need to be known.
Please help :eek:

I found the Ken Burns series very valuable in putting everything into a chronilogical order that I could understand. I studied the instacert till I could get 95% + and watched the Burns DVD's and scored an A...good luck

Thanks ShotoJuku and Shyhogg,
I took the exam today and passed with a score of 59.The computer version is so much better i must say.
The exam was not very hard and pretty much everything on the exam has been covered by instantcert.
I used instantcert and the first 6 ken burns videos...i did not get time for the rest and studied seriously for one week.
Without Instantcert this one would have been a toughie.
Thanks a bunch,
