How much study do I need?

[cookderosa]

The Civil War is one of my favorite time periods in history. I have taken US History 1 and 2 both as a class and as a CLEP test. Motives, theories, causes, etc, I feel pretty knowledgable about.

However, I failed my first test a couple weeks ago and now I'm kind of nervous. How much study would those who have gone before recommend?

Civil war was my only failed exam....but civil war was not an area of interest, so I was starting from scratch. On the other hand, like you, I felt solid about theories-motives-causes, etc. This test, I thought, was super fact based. Which battle- where- when- who led it- who won- etc.
