I think taking any exam cold is directly related to any and all previously attained knowledge. One may be well-versed in US History (via general interest, hobby, etc.) so they may be quite able and ready to sit an exam and pass it "cold."
However, I agree that perhaps the singular most likely able exam to be taken "cold" could be A&I Lit. But again, one would be best served (and prepared) to be somewhat-versed in the general concepts and ability to read into the passages to extract the answer.
I would also add the Humanities exam too if one were moderately-versed in the general type of useless (what am I ever going to use this) knowledge required to get through the double-jeopardy round.
To me, taking any exam "cold" (other than for curiosity) is a risky gamble. The downside of failure is not only the loss of any earned credit but a loss of $$$ and also time.
I would rather prefer getting "warmed up" by a little focused study (code for cramming) just to take the chill off of going into an exam "cold" or worse - frozen out of any credits and some cold cash.
Good Luck!!
