History exams are weighted by importance, and a big mistake in preparation is to spend too much time on an obscure time period or issue.  Only one third of the first CLEP exam (through Reconstruction) is devoted to the beginning of time to 1789.  So don't start with that period and burn out before you reach 1790 to 1877, where two-thirds of the questions will come from.

"Time is money" is a famous, and true, saying.  The time you spend not making money, or making little money, could be spent making more money.  Lost time is lost opportunity to make money, or do something else useful, such as charity or prayer.

You will spend a certain amount of time preparing for the midterm exam.  Call that amount of time "x".  How you allocate that time to different areas of 1500-1877 will make a difference on how well you do on the exam.  If you spend 90% of x on the period between 1500 and 1700, then you will do poorly on 90% of the questions, because they will be from the period 1700 to 1877.  You would have done far better to spend the 90% of x on the time period that will have 90% of the questions.
    
Why did the [[Republicans]] win the presidency every time between [[Andrew Johnson]] and [[World War I]], except for Grover Cleveland’s victories?  Because the Republicans would “wave the bloody shirt,” which means reminding the voters of how the Democrats sided with the South during the [[Civil War]].
