I passed Western Civ I with a 73 a few months back and this is what I posted on the Specific Feedback forum:
" Used IC - REA - Peterson's Tests
Heavy on Greek and Roman ancient civilizations and Middle Ages
Not many visuals.
The test is more about what you deduce from the facts than what you know about facts. I would get a question and go, "OKAY, I know that one," but the answer I was looking for wasn't there. Very frustrating.
I think InstantCert would be enough for a good passing score, but, for myself, I'm not a good guesser, so REA and Peterson's provide for my comfort level."
Hope this helps.
Happy studying!
