In response to a PM that I got:
A couple things that really helped me were
YouTube - All the Great Operas in 10 Minutes
YouTube - art history timeline
Besides that, I was surprised at how many in depth Shakespeare questions there were, and how many art questions there were. Being able to recognize famous artists, and name some of the movements really helped me pass.
I consider myself very well read, but the literature was the part that I scored the worst on. There were a LOT of questions about books and authors that I did not remember from instantcert or the REA book.
In retrospect, the easiest parts to study that payed the most dividends for me were:
-Basics of Greek, Roman, and modern (Frank Lloyd Wright) architecture.
-Basics of Artistic movements, and who was behind them.
-Recognition of composers, when, where, and what they composed.
-Recognition of different musical instruments. Especially things that one might find in a classic symphony.
