Which is the easier test? - Shadowless - 03-02-2008

Which of the following is the easier test?

Micro
Macro
History 1
or History 2?

I ask because some fine gentleman gave me some notes via pass your class and I was planning on stuyding non stop the next few days on one of the subjects.

So my question is, which of the four is the easiest? And which would Pass your class be most useful for of the following tests?

[COLOR="Navy"]Macro v. Micro - Macro Easiest

History-1 v. History-2 - History-2 Easiest

Easiest overall - US History II. Study Materials - IC-Flashcards, REA Book.[/COLOR]

My first clep was micro with passthisclass, I got a 49. Most of what they covered was not even on my test. I just took Macro last week after studying here and passed. That is just my experience though.

Shoto was spot-on. Give History II a try. The exam-specific thread on that one covers 99% of what's on the test, and the flashcards help you prepare. I can't speak on Passyourclass' accuracy, but IC has never let me down in a major way.

I dont mind to hijack your thread. But do History 1 & 2 overlap? It just seems logical by title they could/should be studied and tested at the same time to me. I might be wrong! Would like to hear from someone with experience

Yes, you will get the civil war and reconstruction on both- but on US1 it is a big piece, on US2 it is a small piece. I also seem to remember a few questions that asked for a bit of recall- which rights/amendments/laws came first (something like that). I took them in order-I can't remember my exact time line, but I seem to remember completing US1 and then about 2 weeks later did US2, then about a week later did social science and history. If you take both US histories and one or more of the other social sciences (sociology, psychology, edu psych) you really are 90% ready and should add it to your list.

I failed Civil War, and a few times I have tried to regroup and have another go....but I just can't seem to get into the subject. If you are anything like me, maybe history isn't a good idea (I noticed you had a hard time with history) so maybe the micro or macro would be fresh and exciting?

Depends on your background. I've done a lot of reading about the colonies and the founding era, so I found US History I the easiest. Most of it was stuff I already knew, whereas all the bazillion political parties that started around 1900 or so that were covered in US History II totally baffled me. hilarious

Macro was easier than micro. If you're mathematically minded and like graphs, macro might be the easiest choice. If you despise graphs (like me) and like history (like me), I'd vote for History I.
