Study Smart !
The EOI Test Blueprint shows that HALF of the Test Questions are taken from Standards 5 & 6, which cover the Cold
War Era, Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War, Post-Cold War Era, and Recent History - including September 11 attacks,
Persian Gulf wars, etc. (30% is from Standard 5 and 20% from Standard 6) So, spend about HALF of your study time on those
periods.
