Hi!
First of all, I know that you have been an active participant on the board, so I am surprised that you haven't taken any tests, yet.
If you have been taking lots of courses, a few multiple guess tests shouldn't be anything to worry about.
You know you can get lots of help from this wonderful group of people.
I took Civil War as my 3rd test. (I'm still waiting for my score and hope to post more after I know how I did.) For the intro level history tests, I needed to learn about 500 facts on 100 topics that covered 150 years for US History II. The upper-level Civil War was more like 500 facts on 100 topics that covered 20 years, so it isn't necessarily a lot harder or even a lot more to learn, it just has more depth to the knowledge.
If your school grades these tests, that will also be a factor in how much study material and time to use.
Also, be sure to get the Fact Sheet for each of these. DSST - GetCollegeCredit.com
Best wishes on your exams!
