If I remember correctly Shiloh was the place where Nathan Bedford Forrest, who quickly became the scourge of the Western theatre of battle, first really distinguished himself with a near-suicidal charge on Union troops at Fallen Timbers.

Perhaps now that you passed you can write a scathing critique of the test-makers' shortcomings.


You remembered well. The park doesn't cover the rearguard action, but he was insane, taking a bullet to the back, whipping out his saber and pistols and killing a few Union soldiers and capturing another to use as a human shield so he could return to his forces. Wild stuff.

As for the test prep guide, outside of the few dodgy questions regarding phonetic pronunciations, it covered the other aspects of the test well. If only I had bothered to read 2/3 of it more than one time the night/morning of the test I missed 26 out of 120 questions. Each of the subtest areas was in the middle 50%, with the linguistics being the only one that was higher than the 75% range. Not a great score for me generally, but considering I never had a linguistics or ESL coursework, it's good enough for me to pass with about 15 questions to spare.
