Ok....I am getting ready to take US History II on 1/10. I am a little nervous as I took US History I last July and failed (by one point). I wanted to get some opinions on something. I have been studying IC and the REA book pretty hard for a couple of weeks now, but one thing I have noticed is that this exam covers so much material, by the time I get to Kennedy/Johnson/Reagan Era, I have completed forgotten most of Reconstruction/Progressive/Imperialism Era material. I have gone over this stuff with a pretty good amount of detail, it just concerns me that the exam is so broad-based (chronologically).

Here's what I plan to do to remedy this. Since I have a pretty solid "high-level" understanding of the material, I plan to cram for 3-4 hours on the entire era (1865-present) for a couple of nights before the exam. I am hoping this will keep most of the material fresh in mind, at least enough to get a passing score.

Thoughts???

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions....
