What do you guys need recommend for studying CLEP tests? I mean I keep find these books that explain the CLEP program, and give practice tests but as far as I can tell don't actually provide study material for the exams. I mean what good is having practice exams if you haven't studied the content? I need SS, college math, humanities, English comp, and 2 General ED electives. What books do you suggest or do you actual text books for each subject? Thanks for any help.
Free Clep Prep.com The "other" forum, especially the paid section under "specific exam feedback" For General Ed electives give the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature test a look, it's worth 6 credits at most schools and is generally regarded as the easiest CLEP exam, it's basically reading comprehension. what school are you applying these to? Not every school takes every test, and sometimes they have added requirements (like written papers)...you gotta check that out.
Thanks for the information, and help. I'm applying these to TESC. I believe they take everything fro CLEP exams. At least didn't say anything about not taking anything.
Yeah your golden with TESC...they take them all. Definitely take a look at A&I Literature...it's an easy 6 credits.
Yes, a&i literature is worth six semester hours ( mine were counted towards humanities, but ymmv) and is a very easy Clep. It was a good springboard to bounce into the Clep game.
Thanks guys. I just did the first 11 questions in a A&I practice test, and got 6 of the 11 right. That is not really that good, but its a first try. Weird subject, I hate the way things like that are written.
Out of curiosity, are you a native speaker of English? I ask because I thought that exam was very easy, but also thought it might be more difficult for those who are not familiar with the sort of archaic poetic language that most Americans would see a lot in secondary school but never again afterward.
With the A&I CLEP it's all about figuring out which answer isn't correct when you get down to a choice between two answers.
GoodYellowDogs, I agree but i was rushing just a tad because I know the exam is timed. I was trying to not take 5 minutes on each question. Questions are kinda funny, but I think I could figure them out with practice.
It is about learning how the test is written. The best tool I used was (I think) a REA book. The first part of the book wasn't very helpful, but the practice test were... because you could go to the answer section and they told you why some of the answers were wrong. I got more out of that, than the other part.
