[QUOTE=Mohammed Ali Baig;666147]Dear seniors, comrades & aspirants,
Since the time left is short enough, please suggest the expected time that is required to fully cover the topics prescribed for History of the USA

Looking forward
maximum 15 days

20 days is a rational time. For an average student 20 days are more than enough. For an extraordinary student, 10 days should be enough.

Be blessed...

Thank you all respondents!
Since I too have completed the course in around 10 days, I was wondering If this is the case with everyone or I'm missing something!

Many thanks, again!
