Civil War or Rise & Fall of USSR - Which One is Easier?

[snazzlefrag]

I actually took both tests in the same day

Yikes! I bet it was a heck of a challenge to hold all that information in your brain at one time. Do you have a big giant head?
hilarious

I don't think I would have had the courage (or the brain mass) to do those two particular exams in one day. Ha ha!

I'm sure that the main reason is that most U.S. citizens know more about the U.S. Civil War than they do about the former Soviet Union. Almost everybody in the U.S has heard about the battle of Gettysburg, etc.

You may be on to something there. I am British, and knew very little about the American Civil War prior to studying for that exam. However, I had been exposed to the history of the USSR throughout my childhood and teen years. I felt I had a strong grasp of the USSR material when I began to study for it.

As a result, I had more of an initial interest in the USSR than the Civil War, I enjoyed studying for USSR more, and I had a head start on the required knowledge. If you are American, the reverse may be true.

Having said that, I wonder how many of you scored higher on Civil War than you did on USSR? Did most of you Americans do better on the Civil War exam than you did on the USSR exam?

I studied equally hard for both exams, and knew the material for both very well. But I scored higher on the USSR exam than I did on the Civil War exam, and found the Civil War exam to be more challenging.

So, which of these two history exams did you guys actually score higher on?

It will be interesting to find out,
