Newly Revised History of the Soviet Union formerley Rise and fall of Soviet..DSST

[25BangBang]

I didn't see a thread in the Exam Specific Feedback category for the updated exam. I read the Soviet Colossus by Michael Kort (1990) a two months ago but then life got in the way and now I am planning on taking it at the end of October. My plan is to watch the Epic History 3 part series multiple times and write down pertinent information. Then, to skim over Michael Kort's latest writings "A Brief History of Russia" (2008). That combined with IC's old flash cards on the Rise and Fall should be enough but I would be interested in hearing some input from those who have passed.
