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

[russellfugitt]

Just took this test and got a 434 on it. I used the IC Flashcards till I was 95 percent confident with the subject. Then I took the Free Clep Prep practice test and got a 69% on it. The Free Clep Prep test is a little short on the Collapse which is 20% of the new DSST test. I also spent some time reading wikipedia on many of the subjects in the flashcards. I wish I could remember more of the questions on the test. The IC flashcards covered many of the events and people, but many of the questions on the test required different information about the event. If I had to do it again, I would wikipedia the key words from the flashcards and pay attention to the things that were happening other than just the answer to the flashcard. Pretty tough overall. I kept a tally of questions that I was sure about from my studying. I was confident about 21 questions from what I learned in the flashcards. My wikipedia reading made me guess well on enough of the other ones to pass. The good news is you only have to get 42% on the test to pass. Know how many soldiers died in WWII not including civilians. 11 Million. Know how many Soldiers died in Afganistan. 15 Thousand. Know the peak years of the great purge. 36-37. Who called the Soviet Union the Evil Empire? Ronald Reagan. Know that Finland helped during the siege on Leningrad.
Good Luck.
