Any other tips, suggestions on the humanities test while it is still fresh in your memory. I am taking it soon. I am almost finished we flashcards, hopefully this weekend.

My test was very heavy on musical stuff, operas, composers, ect.. I'll tell ya if you are good with the IC flashcards and are scoring okay on the petersons you will be fine. My first set of petersons were 37, 47, 47. I set up another shadow account under my wifes name and hit 65 on the first one and 72 on the second. I only had three paintings to ID and they were very obvious two were actually on IC. For me I just had to watch my time only had 5 minutes left. As long as you have IC down solid, don't sweat it you'll do fine.

That was my favorite part! Good job on passing.

My biggest tip for this remains depth. Find an art book to glance over if you can.

Congrats again on passing. As you mentioned the test is very music heavy, should i obtain a book in that area or instantcert and practice tests good enough. I am horrible when it comes to that material. Thanks again

IC will definitely help you pass, but I would still look into picking a book up at your local library. That will certainly help improve your score. Though IC does cover a good bit of music, there is still a lot left untouched. If you can associate names with time periods, be able to identify the most famous performers, and be familiar with different types of music, then the test will be a walk in the park!

I can't get this study guide...I guess it needs to be encrypted? Can someone please either post it or email it to me? I heard it's a good resource!

SO...what should I know about Opera etc....any tips?! It's a broad subject and I only have a few more days before the test!

If you know everything in the Wikipedia article on opera, you will be over-prepared. Give it a glance, and maybe check out the characters on a couple operas that strike your fancy.

Opera - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Know your Gilbert and Sullivan operas, because Gilbert and Sullivan operas are the best.

Lubee's study guide is re-attached below. Don't know why it wouldn't download for you. I just downloaded it again, and it seems to work fine.
