Civil War & Recon., Money & Banking, Rise & Fall of Sov. Union!!! HELP!!!

[gregjohnson]

IC is a fantastic resource, but it is not enough for Money & Banking. It was without a doubt the most difficult of the 15 exams I have taken, although my upcoming/next/last exam ( Sec Analysis & Portfolio Mgmt TECEP) looks to be a challenge as well. The exam-specific section will give more details for other sources. I would also suggest the books for Securities Analysis for TECEP, and Google, Google, Google.

I hope this helps. Greg

Hey, lucky me... I just so happen to run across the Ken Burn's Civil War show on PBS tonight just as the show started... what luck. It's running the initial DVD tonight and the rerun on Sun 4/26 & Tues. 4/28. Then the 2nd & 3rd DVD on 5/1, 5/3 & 5/5. Then the 4th & 5th DVD on 5/8, 5/10. In my cable location anyway. If anyone wants to check their area for time and dates go onto the PBS Civil War website to check.

I’m glad you found the Ken Burns videos. I received my score and posted feedback here:

For these three courses, how long did you allow yourself to study each course?

Hi! I studied for 4 weeks for Civil War exclusively.

For these three courses, how long did you allow yourself to study each course?

For Civil War, I used IC to study around five days on and off, while recovering from having my wisdom teeth out. This is my favorite period in history, so after the first couple days, I felt very comfortable with the information. I studied some, but didn't worry too much the last few days before the test.

For Soviet Union, I crammed for two and a half days.

As you can see, I don't spend much time studying... but I don't necessarily recommend that. History is my favorite subject and when I don't know the answer, I can generally make an educated guess based on my understanding of other events, people, places, etc. So you may not necessarily want to go off of my experience.
