1) has anyone solely relied on REA to pass their US history exams?
2) i was at the bookstore today and looked through the us history 2 REA book and noticed how much fewer pages of material it has compared to the us history 1 REA book. i read through and highlighted my us history 1 book a few months ago but all the info has kept me from taking the exam, esp since my main priorities are my B&M courses. the us history 1 book has over 100 pages worth of text while the us hist 2 book has about 70 pages of info. can anyone tell me from experience if there is a difference in quality between these two books? if there isn't, i wouldn't mind buying the other book and memorizing 70 pages of facts instead of 100+ pages.
i know my question sounds lazy but i just desperately need a pass with minimal work. i don't have much time to dwell on this non-major subject since i overload on B&M courses and work nearly full-time. i usually like to learn history but hate being tested on it b/c there's just so much to remember in one sitting. all those crazy names and battles in us history 1 discourage me so much. and the reason behind me taking this clep exam upsets me even more b/c i technically did have a us history credit that was lost during credit transfers. sorry for the ranting in my last paragraph but please help =(
