    yea lol, I mailed out this request to take this test and I forgot about it. I got the conformation and I was in the process of studying for 2 exams. I got a little caught up and I only had about a day and a half to study for this. I usually like to spend about 20 hours per exam and get some solid prep in.

    a lot of people said there was a ton of FDR stuff on the exam. There was like one question. Meanwhile I spent most of my time studying the new deal and FDR's administration. There was a ton of quotes which non of my REA books or IC really covered. The quotes is what really got me freaked. it was mostly on the attitudes of progressivism. I mean there was like 25 questions of progressivism and like 20 questions of quotes.

    Not to freak you out- but I think there is either a test back which generates questions randomly or more than one version. My husband and I took many tests together at the same time and never did we get the same exam. A few times we had the same questions, but different places. (My question #1 was his question #50 for example)
    They don't expect you to really know quotes, they want you to figure out who said them based on WHAT is in the quote. It's like a clue. Ex. If the quote is about the New Deal, you can rule out the presidents who were before the New Deal. See? Good Luck!!

    none of the quotes, where from significant people. They were all from authors that's what freaked me out about the test. I mean even if I didn't know who said it. I could get an idea based on their political views. I think I might have passed so I'll see.
