Civil War Brain dump - CLEP101 - 05-09-2009
I just finished taking the Civil War DSST and passed with a 59. Now I just need to take and pass Rise & Fall of the Soviet Union.
For some reason I can't retain what I'm studying for the next exam. Trying to learn Russian History with all the Civil War history stuck in my head.
I think I might need to take a week off before attempting the next exam.

How long did you give yourself to study?

I've had similar things happen to me but not always with CLEPs. Sometimes I just have to take a break from whatever seems to be on my mind and what I am studying for. I think that a short break would be good for your brain after quickly absorbing Civil War History!

For Civil War, I studied for about 3 weeks on and off. I'm just starting on the Soviet Union. But I think I'll take a few days off, then start strong again for the next test.

I've found a short break can really help me get started again. Just make sure it stays short.
I've had breaks that were supposed to be short that turned out quite long. 
Also, I just took Rise and Fall of Soviet Union and have a lot of notes if you would like them. Let me know!
