I ordered and received the REA US History I book last week. I'm about 1/2 done with reading it through (first time). I haven't yet taken any of the practice exams in the book yet. I did start studying IC's flashcards for this topic, however, and so far I'm finding that the book mirrors the flashcards pretty well. The book provides greater detail, though. I think that using these two resources will be a very good foundation. I will check out some of the other online resources such as Sparknotes, etc., too.
How specific is the CLEP regarding the dates of events?
Thanks,
Peach
