[COLOR="Indigo"]I used IC and REA... both were perfect for me! IC was enough to pass but the REA book contained information (which accounted for only maybe 2-3 questions on the actual test) that wasn't represented on the flashcards.
I agree with Annakate -
[INDENT]However, don't spend as much time on answering the question what as much as answering the question why. I memorized a bunch of events, what so-and-so did, when that one social group was formed, but that was all. I didn't know why all that happened. Why did that person start that movement? (haha, I'm sorry I can't provide specific names and events - it's been a while) Why did the second World War begin?[/INDENT]
That was very good advice... Knowing why and the facts surrounding the correct answer = a pass![/COLOR]
