I can see your point. It is like taking a final exam with minimal input from the author of the test. That is why it helps to use more than one resource for broader coverage of the material. IC and the Specific Exam Feedback cover all three tests. This would be so much harder to figure out what materials to use without all of the resource recommendations from everyone who has already passed the exams!
For Civil War, I chose to use Idiot's Guide, 2 SparkNotes CW and Reconstruction, Ken Burns DVDs, and IC.
I felt pretty good about what I had learned through most of the test. (My score wasn't in the mail today.) Even when I score well, it has been hard to judge how the test is actually going.
The exams cover so many topics; it is hard to even remember what all of the questions were right after taking the test.
I know you will be fine. You couldn't have gotten this far without having what it takes to get through to the finish line!
(Maybe you'll feel better when start getting your resource materials together.)
