I thought I would post my feedback, I passed this one a few days ago. I actually thought it was pretty difficult, but I only studied for a few hours and watched the Ken Burns documentaries. I was counting on my previous knowledge of the subject to carry me through, which it did...barely.
As was mentioned before, there were many questions on what generals did what and what major battles they were involved in. Also many questions focuses on the factors behind the victory or loss. I went through every online quiz I could find and it actually really helped. The exam is very broad and deep. I found that in most of the questions I did not know the answer for sure, but based on some general knowledge of the specific subject or person I was able to narrow it down and increase my odds.
