2 days enough to get A in Civil War?
|
I have a so-so grasp of Civil War. I can't start studying until late Friday night and the exam is scheduled for Monday (assume can't reschedule).
Has anyone received an A in civil war with just 2 days to study? Anyone received an A with just instacert? Thanks!

I got a 55 with 3 days of instacert and watching Ken Burns Civil War all in one weekend before testing on a Monday. (I was actually watching the DVDs while going through the flashcards!) So I would say with some prior knowledge of the Civil War it's doable. I also took Money and Banking the same day so maybe I could have scored higher if I hadn't had so many unrelated facts swimming around my head on two totally different subjects. (Of course I'm going to take calculus and American literature both on Tuesday, so I guess I never learn!)

I think with just two days of study, getting an A would be a challenge. In the end it comes down to studying the right information and how well you memorize/retain information. If you can't reschedule, then I guess you just have to do your best. I think I would need longer though. Good Luck!

The Ken Burns film will be on PBS this Sunday all day, I do not know where you are located but I plan to watch all day and take notes. (this must be the 12th time I watched it)
This time is serious though, if I get confident I'll sign up for the test next week, any feedback will be appreciated. et4tango 48 Clep credits 14 fema

Unfortunately Ken Burns isn't on PBS this Sunday in my area. I would have preferred it to videotapes from the library. Oh well.

While it took me more than 2 days to listen to it, I finished it in 2 weeks at the gym, and hit IC for a few hours and scored a "B" without much thought. The Series was by Shelby Foote I think and was a 55 meg download. I joined thier monthly service for 23 bucks and get 2 audio books a month. This civil war one would have cost 40 bucks soooo... I am doing the same thing with the Vango notes audio books on Psych and Socialogy.
Good luck and go for it! -HB
