Tips for U.S. History I?
Does anyone have tips for U.S. History I?
I plan on taking this during "Spring Break", but am wondering if I need more time to prep. I understand the REA book is good for this exam along with Don't Know Much About History(?). The search engine on this forum seems to have more info for HIST II than I. Has anyone successfully taken this one? How would you compare it to II?

I took both, and got a "B" on #1, and an "A" on #2. I only used InstantCert to study, along with some cursory web searches. If you use IC and any other study guide, then TAKE A PRACTICE TEST to gauge your knowledge level, you'll do fine.

IC combined with REA US History I
You will surely pass. I actually passed this exam using only IC, but after looking over REA's study guide I found it to be a great supplement to use along with IC. Good Luck.

History I was one of the first test I took. I didn't pass amazingly well, but I baredly had any idea of what I was doing. While IC does have less info for it than History II. History I seemed MUCH less involved than History II. History II required a lot more effort and studying for me. But, for History I, I studied a high school history book, reviewed some practice tests, looked at the outline of what was on the test, and made sure I knew that stuff mostly. At that time I didn't have IC, so I think your chances of passing are all the more greater with it. : ) Oh and I definitely love the books "for idiots" and REA books are so helpful too (though I find them a bit hard to read and comprehend). Good luck! You can do it!

Thanks everyone! My main concern is scoring the 58 I need--even though all the tests I have passed have been in the 60-70's range. Taking Marketing wednesday.
Plan on taking HIST I next week in Little Rock (over 2 hour drive, but only testing center I could find offering tests during spring break). Your help is invaluable! Thank you. A productive study day to all!
