I had a random OC email me some of the sample questions from the test asking for help and I swear my anxiety level went through the roof! <br /><br />Those last 3 weeks of OCS History were easily one of the worst periods of my life....Anyone else remember the test being so bad? Only officer that went to the OCS program within the past 7-10 years would have taken it with Doc. Campbell! 2016-01-21T10:02:31-05:00 1LT Private RallyPoint Member 1249592

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I spent many years at Fort Benning [between 1979 and 1989]; but, I never went through OCS <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="321537" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/321537-92a-officer-quartermaster-officer-a-co-field-distro-3643rd-bsb">1LT Private RallyPoint Member</a>. Before today I had never heard if the OCS history test or Doc. Campbell. When did you go through OCS?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Definitely still remember the fact that your commission was dependent on one crazy test which was not really testing you on your military history knowledge but on military writing. I was lucky since there were recycles that had experienced with the test and that help me to get a 93% first time go. I still have info if that OC needs help.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I graduated 8-70, don't remember any such history test. Sounds like an individual thing.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I d0n't remember that there was one! I went through OCS in 1967. Maybe there wasn't one then.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I remember Dr. Campbell well. I was in A Co at OCS in 2008. I am actually back at FBGA now as an ABOLC tactics officer and interact with the combat arms OC's on their Branch run day. Your friend is correct - Dr. Campbell is still giving the candidates anxiety during the history lessons. I looked up the current test study guide and its actually a lot better than the one we had - just his foot stomping the floor pointing at the red text of the Powerpoint, lol! Hope your friend does well - If he's Armor then tell him I'll see him soon. :)

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I commissioned in Dec 2006 through OCS and can't say I recall Dr. Campbell - however, I do recall the history test and the CFF exam being the two biggest "gotchas" for candidates, in terms of written exams.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Unforgettable. However, once you knew what he was looking for it became a cake walk. Got a 93% on his test.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Remember the test quite well because of the amount of information we were given in a short period of time. Yeap, many Candidates flunk out because of it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I accidentally posted a comment earlier on this post and I can’t figure out how to delete it. <br />I’m in the class now and it sounds like it’s always been stressful. We can’t figure out how to study for the test. Wish us luck. If my rank doesn’t change on here in a few weeks you know why! Lol
