US History I Clep Test question

[tsullivan0112]

Hello All! I am about to take History 1 test next week and had a quick question. I have heard that you should concentrate on the time periods of teh 1700s through 1877...Does that mean that I can skip studying the last section of the Instacert practice questions titled Philosophy and Politics of the Time Period?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

hi tim,

there are several versions of the clep tests. even though someone might have received the version that focused on 1700s to 1877, you might get another version that could cover the last part. so just to be safe than sorry, you should study it anyway =] good luck!

I took the test about a month and a half ago. Since that was about 10 tests ago, my memory on it is a little fuzzy, but I recall there were a fair amount of questons that related to the "philosophies of the times". Definitely study that section. It did focus primarily on the 1700's to reconstruction, but, on the test I took, there were also a good number of questions about the pre - 1700's - early settlements, Bacon's rebelion, establishment of the various colonies, King Phillips War, Early spanish explorers.

If you use Instantcert and you should do fine.

And wish me luck! Is US History II more difficult?

I found US History II more difficult because of the amount of government info (laws, cases, etc) that was in it, and ways, and president's policies, etc. If I recall correctly all I used for History I was a textbook from high school that I went through. It was was one of my first. But for US History II I spent alot of time on IC, taking notes, wikepedia, etc. Still, I think I enjoyed going through History II more than I so that made up for it. : ) Good Luck!!!
