I appeared for first time in 2012. I didn't prepared well for USA history paper. I attempted only two questions. Question no. 2 and a short note "China emerging as a super power." I scored 40 marks. I would suggest all aspirants to use books only for facts. Try to develop your own conclusions and analysis. Study with great concentration. Try to link things. For example, if you are accessing John Adams' presidency, you should know what were the problems before his presidency and what he did to solve those problems. You should also have a knowledge about John Adams political views. So, these things should be applied to each and every topic.
