Names and Terms? (Soviet Union)

[bkbarden]

Hello all. I am taking this exam on Thursday and had some questions. I did read the specific exam feedback and it's very helpful. But, I had some questions for those who have taken this exam.

I saw that names are important... if I know the names IC covers, will that be enough? I've been through the flashcards once and made a timeline of events. I plan to go through again and make a list of important people.

Second, how important is it to know Russian terms? I know perestroika and glasnost and I could probably recognize a couple others. Is that sufficient or do I need to know a lot about other Russian words?

And then... is IC enough if I study it very thoroughly?

I appreciate any advice! Thanks!

While others have claimed to pass with IC alone, I would highly recommend you supplement it with "Soviet Colossus". It was the most diffcult exam I have taken to date.
Good luck

Well, I don't have time to get that book, unfortunately. I'm feeling pretty comfortable with IC now, so I'll just keep studying and trust God for the results. :-)
