Well, I am scheduled to take my second CLEP/DANTES exam on Friday. I have only taken DANTES Personal Finance so far, and scored a 77 on it. I feel like I am well-prepared for the US History I exam. I have mainly used IC, and started reviewing pinkmonkey.com last night. I am planning to take the Peterson's Practice Exam tonight.
It's taking me a little more time than I would like to prepare. In addition to studying for CLEPs/DANTEs, I also have traditional seated and online classes. I attend a private 4-year college and am just CLEPing some electives.
Next I plan to take US History II, A&I Lit., and American Government. Then I will have to take some time off of CLEPs because of my other courseload. I will have 4 left to CLEP after these.
This site has been great!!!

[SIZE="2"]US Hist 1 is one of those "broad based" exams that cover quite a bit that occurred during that time range so give yourself plenty of time. If you fair well with the Petersons exams - SIT THE EXAM as Petersons are generally a bit more difficult. GOOD LUCK!! [/SIZE]

Let us know how you did. I am taking US History I next Tuesday. Just registered today.
For those that have taken it, would IC be considered to be enough?

I obviously have not taken it yet, but in searching and reading past posts, it looks like the general concensus is that you will need to supplement IC with some other resources. I used pinkmonkey.com.
Hope This Helps...

Supplemental sources never hurt, I used the REA books. Good Luck!!
