I still haven't received the score from the Vietnam War test, even though I took it three weeks ago. I expect that it will take the usual three to four weeks after TESC gets it for them to update my transcript, so that is why I am going to push up the test date for my final DSST: Introduction to the Modern Middle East.
I have started studying it, and unlike the Soviet Union, the history of the modern Middle East is fascinating. Now the politics of the region are making sense to me. The Egyptian Revolution of 1952, Arab Nationalism, it all ties into the problems they are having today.
Anywho, I took the FCP practice test (my third) and scored an 89%. I also bought FCP's fabulous study guide. By the way, has anyone found that the material on the practice tests or the study materials match what is on the test? It seemed with the Soviet Union test that I needed a more in depth knowledge than the who did what when. Is this test similar to that? Is it more difficult?
