Low cost ACE reviewed history courses from Shmoop.com

Before we cancelled our 24 hour trial last night, I had my son take the first unit test in US History 1492-1877 because we were both curious how the exams were set up. He had not had a chance to thouroughly cover the material but you can retake each test once. He was given one hour to take the exam and a clock counted down the time in the corner of the screen. There were twenty questions on the test. It was not overly easy but was manageable. He scored a 70% after only spending an hour or two on the material. He did decide that this is what he wants to use for American History. We will probably subscribe for six months for $90 and will plan for him to take both US History classes and we will use some of their other resources as well. He wants to wait to begin until he gets settled into his Dual Enrollment courses, perhaps in mid September. I look forward to hearing how other people like it as well.
