Hi everyone!
I have mastered all the flashcards for the History of the US I, but I am not doing so hot on the REA practice tests.
I am scared to take the test and fail. What other sources would you recommend?
Thank you.

Thank you.
if you mastered the flashcards you shouldn't be having issues on the Rea test. The goal is to comprehend the flashcard material not just the answers. You should read the Rea book at least twice, review the Ic flashcards by Not Filling in the answers but by reading the questions and answers til you understand the topic. You can click to the next flashcard and read without typing anything. Also view videos 1-15 form the biography of america series from learner.org plus listen to history lectures on itunes u.
Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum :
InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing

No I have not read it. I purchased the tests separately. I thought the flash cards would suffice!
Thanks!

There isn't one single, universally correct or best way to study. Everybody is different. If you think there are too many flashcards and since you didn't do well on the practice tests, maybe you should consider taking a different approach. The U.S. History REA books are among their best preparation books. Try reading the REA books. This works well for many.
Try to figure out what your learning style is and find a strategy that fits it.
