I am actually studying for a foreign service officer test where prominent history questions regarding Foreign Policy and national governmental achievements are asked.
I have come to the conclusion thus far in my studies that I need to review ammendments, treaties, agreements, etc. So, I plan to get a hold of a College level history book for review.
What is the best way to review these things? I was thinking of using flash cards but do not want to depend on memorizing everything.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.

There are lots of good on books on the history of US foreign policy. If you have a long time before the next exam is offered, than you have a chance to read and get caught up in these fields. For foreign policy, I suggest you read Robert D Schulzinger's "US Diplomacy since 1900." There are numerous other books relating to US foreign policy, so look up ones that are germane to the one I have listed above on amazon.com or barnes and noble.com. You can use flash cards as a means to help you remembering some of the most important treaties, but having a solid general knowledge of 20th century history will help you even more, since they ask a lot of questions regarding social and cultural US history as well.

Good you are asking such a questin. I hope that you are not bored of historty, though sometimes it may be borin during the classes because of the teacher(as it is for me). But if you read the text by yourself you will find it interesting and be involved in it. Dont worry too much about the dates, years and names. Always keeps some clues or anything in case you find it difficult to memorise the names. Learn only the important years, as years are abundant in history, there may be only a few which are very important. If it is something about the kings who fought with this or that king or revolution, try to make an easy flowchart or learn the lesson with the map on your side(if you have map also for the lesson,) which will make you easy to study the map also. And please dont think about studying history in the day of the exam. It will cause more confusion. Study at least 2 0r 3 lessons before the exam. So at least U can compelete the rest easily. I am student of 9th standard, these are the methods which i apply when i study. Hope u find it useful freind. Enjoy studying, never be tensed or bored. Ok, All the best Poornaka(I liked your name)
