Who has used Free Clep Prep's resources for this test? Are they helpful? I'll be looking for some books at the library and will be getting IC. I'd really like to finish this test this month but I've heard it's a bear—like, the hardest UL history DSST?? :willynilly:

I noticed this on Saylor the other day HIST351: Islam, The Middle East, and The West « Saylor.org – Free Online Courses Built by Professors I wonder how it would stack up as prep for that test?

This test isn't that hard if you really like history. I used InstantCert, The Modern Middle East: A History by James L. Gelvin, Snazzlefrag's Study Notes, and the free-clep-prep.com practice test. I was able to pass with a 72.

Yes, it is!

Was FCP's practice test accurate? I got 61% on it.

I got 73% on the FCP practice test. I recommend taking the FCP practice tests twice to help you remember the information on them. I didn't think I was going to get a good score on this DSST and didn't really worry about what I scored, which I think helped me to concentrate and remember better when I took the actual exam.

Ok, I'm working through the IC flash cards and noticed that they keep mentioning specific place names like they're important. Is there a lot in the DSST on actual places or is a more general understanding of geography enough?
