Westerner,
Thanks. I am reading the bios via Wikipedia. I also borrowed Michael Kort's Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union. I also have five plus pages of notes written down, but I guess I am wondering how in depth some of the questions can go? For instance, one of the questions on the Vietnam War test asked where Vo Nguyen Giap learned his communist ideology. I didn't have a clue, as I only skimmed his bio. I wonder if there are more questions like that on USSR test?
Also, the analytical side of me is trying to determine how they weight questions on the DSST. I figure if I get 97 questions, I should get a passing score even if I get 30 questions wrong. I know that there is no way of knowing this, but I like to figure this out anyway.
I guess I am sweating these upper level tests more than I should, but I really don't want to fail and have to take it again six months from now. I am shooting for the March graduation for my B.A., and I do not want to repeat, so I am trying to ensure that I will pass.
