Today, I have received the Rudman testing guide booklet and I am finding alot of questions that I have not studied for...now I have a day and a half before the test and I am confused. What do I concentrate on, the Rudman's guide or instantcert? I have always used instantcert as my 99% study resource. This is one of my final three courses and I sure don't want to blow it this late in the game. It is the last of my upper level courses and I don't want to be looking to find something to pass, because I failed this course. Okay, now I really need some rock solid advice to offset what now appears to be my rock solid fears!! Help Please.

Second, know that the key to most of the questions asked in the exam are found in the entire expanded answers of the InstantCert questions and MUST be read and absorbed.
Third, the Rudman questions are quite similar to the style given in the actual exam and will assist you in what to look for. If not sure remember to eliminate the impossible answer choices first and then try to narrow down your final answer.
Fourth, How about another source of study? I found BOTH the "Idiots Guide on the Civil War" AND the Ken Burns Films a great source of information.
Fifth, unless your under some kind of deadline, perhaps you may wish to postpone your exam date a week or so until you are really solid.
Sixth, have confidence in yourself by getting the material down and you WILL NOT fail (but you knew that already).
GOOD LUCK!!!![/COLOR][/SIZE]
