I was not a social studies fan, because I always thought it was so hard to learn all the dates and memorize every detail. This course has definitely changed my mind! I love every section and I am very engaged in the lecture! I enjoy the breakdown of the content! He is awesome!

I have been trying to pass the practice test at my university and went through 2 other programs before I found this one through a friend! I passed above expectation and have referred several others. I feel more confident in going to take the real exam. Thank you SO much!

I believe that this course is a great match for what I need to learn. I really enjoy how there is an overview and then it follows with separate video. I believe that this has already helped me so much and I can not wait to see how I feel once I complete the course.
