So, I'd like to pivot somewhat. I took the Vietnam War test last week, and am still awaiting the score from Prometric. In the meantime, I have scheduled to take Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union for next Wednesday. I have been hard at it studying and writing all kinds of notes in the last six days, and think I am already fairly familiar with the big concepts of the USSR. I've gone through the IC flashcards once, and the FCP sample tests twice, and improve on every time I take it.
I remember that the Vietnam test proved tough for me because of the way the questions were worded. I think I had to purely guess on a few of them, but because I knew the material, I think I got them right. Is it the same for The Soviet Union? I hear it is a bear of a test, but most manage to pass it just fine.
I know with the way they score it is confusing, so I am trying to figure if I can still get a passing score if I, say, get thirty questions incorrect. I know there isn't a way to tell, but I like to figure these things out.
