I am planning to take the Dantes Money & Banking exam and the Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union exam here in about 3 weeks. For Money & Banking, I am reading the textbook Money, Banking and Financial Markets (this was listed in the Dantes suggested books list) and I will use instantcert as well. I do not have any textbook for the Soviet Union exam, but will of course use instantcert. Anyone have any insight on these two exams, what resources did you use and what did you think of the exams...? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Trajan,
Money and Banking took me by suprise. I only use Instacert and have passed everything quite easily (upper and lower level) but not this one. My exam had way more on the Fed Board than I anticipated but other than that, it really followed DSST guide, in hindsight, I just wasn't prepared - it was the fifth exam in five weeks. I think there's a practice test, on DSST's site. If so, definitely use it.
I haven't taken Soviet Union yet, but there's lots of threads about it. I'm planning on using Instacert, Wikipedia, and the Rudmans book based on what I've seen in the threads.
Best of luck to ya!

Try the RUDMAN "Red Cover" books through amazon; they're better than nothing......
