    Does anyone remember what the test concentrated on? I have used the study guide, but I have heard alot of people say that the test didnt follow it to close


    Thanks

    I took it on the 10th of this month and thought it followed the study guide well. The only problem was the study guide was lacking. The Civil War and Reconstruction study guide was quite indepth by comparison.

    There were approximately 120 questions and it covered the whole spectrum from pre revolution right up to and including Yeltsin.

    Thanks for the reply, would you say that the questions were general in nature or really specific? How would you compare it to the Civil War test? I read the Book Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union twice, it is only 117pages but covers everything. Somethings it just briefly goes over. I bought the book 20th century Russia but it kept putting me to sleep.

    Thanks again

    In comparison with the Civil War test, I know it was harder to study for but might have been an easier test. That being said, I put in more time studying for this one. If the 112 page book you used was by Matthews, it just glosses over the high points but may be enough. I also used the Teachco tapes and that helped some. A lot more on the fall of the Soviet Union than I would have expected.

    I didn't answer the other part of your question. I felt the questions were more specific in nature. Condi Rice would struggle with a few of them.

    I had planned on taking the DANTES Money and Banking but will pass now after having taken both Civil War and Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union.

    Thanks I hear money and banking is a bear, after Rise and Fall i will start on the Excelsior tests as I have taken all of the Dantes upperdivison except for Money And banking.

    Take care,
