Which is easier: Western Civ I or Western Civ II?

[MissCLEP]

Kris,

I just took Western Civ 1 a few weeks ago, and was pleasantly suprised as the high score I got. The REA guide was excellent preparation for this test, so if you read it carefully and study all your missed answers on the practice test, you should be fine. I'm studying for Western Civ 2 right now, and my sister's planning to take this test within a week. I'll let you know her feedback on this one if you would like. Because Western Civ 2 covers a smaller time span it might be easier, but I hesitate to recommend it because I haven't taken it. However, even though Western Civ 1 covers thousands of years, the questions asked were a little more general, and if you really study the REA book, you should be able to make educated guesses on everything you don't know. I would recommend looking through some practice tests for both Western Civ 1 & 2, and decide between them based on the content covered and your prior knowledge and interst.

Good luck!
