Thank you for posting this-- I completely agree!! :iagree: I think the majority of people on this forum have to study and prepare for these exams. I think it misleads many people when they see a thread where one person studied a few hours and passed the exam. I am inclined to think that this is an exception and not the rule. Very few people are brave enough to post about any exams that they have failed due to lack of prep and study or over confidence.... so we rarely hear that side of the story.

I understand that - I guess that makes sense, only the passing posters comment.
But for example, on the USSR thread, many people say use a study guide (created by user) and IC 80-90%, and you will pass. If it was one person I would be suspicous, but the majoirty of posters say that.
For the Western Europe, almost everyone says use audiobook 2-3 times and IC 2-3 times and you will get pass.
I guess I will be a test subject and find out how it goes. For the record, I am not underestimating these exams, just knocking htme out.

Those exams were easy haha, I passed both with a high 60/low 70. In hindsight, I should have wasted much less time studying.
IC was all I needed
