Hi there. I personally recommend US History 2 in your situation. The only reason I suggest this particular exam is because more of the information you need to study will be relevant to today. I always find concepts easier to grasp when I can apply them to real life. A good example of this is FDR implementing Social Security as you know it today. Also, if you are an adult learner, you will likely already have some ability to recall some of the more recent events in US history.
I wouldn't say I am a "history buff" by any means, but I actually found US History 2 to be a real pleasure to study for. I was particularly interested in learning how the Civil Rights Movement evolved over time. I think you may be surprised how much you like history after this experience.
