After failing 2 EC exams, I just want to get this finished and be done. Then onto my "I am finished post"...............
Thanks,

Doug,
From what I can recall you do not need to know specific dates, just know in general which battles were fought when and who the generals were -as this will help eliminate some wrong choices in the questions or narrow down the choices.
In all honesty if you have put in a fair amount of time with the IC flash cards and have googled the info in the feedback section I am postive you will do fine.
I scored a 59 (an A at Excelsior) on this exam and to give you an idea of how clueless I was about the Civil War prior to starting to study for this exam- I had no idea the south elected a President or had its own government. So if I can score an A starting from square one, anyone can.
One suggestion, If you have not already watched the Ken Burns video's- then watch some of them on you-tube today instead of doing last minute intensive studying/cramming. I found these video did help me in absorbing some facts and the music in them seemed to have a calming effect. I guess what I am trying to say is relax, I am sure you will do fine.
