4.0 out of 5 stars Helped Me Passed the Test, March 29, 2005

This review is from: CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature with CD-ROM (REA): The Best Test Prep for the CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature Exam with REA's TESTware (Test Preps) (Paperback)
I used this resource, studied for about a week and easily passed the test with a 66. I have heard of others who did not use any resources and scored in the 70's. The score seems to depend on the tester's experience in reading and appreciating literature of various forms: poetry, essay, theater, etc. This resource contains some helpful terminology (much of it, however, did not appear on the test). Also, the practice tests were helpful, if not overly difficult approximations of the actual CLEP. I had already taken several CLEPs, so I was familiar with the format, type of questions, etc. The practice tests would be especially helpful for those who are less experienced with CLEPs.

[...]

I will reinforce that the terminology is not very important for the test. Know simple, basic definitions and uses, such as simile, alliteration, imagery, etc.

Overall, I recommend the resource mostly for the practice tests and detailed explanations of answers...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Alas! Me thinks Thee hath made thy test more difficult..., August 22, 2005

This review is from: CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature with CD-ROM (REA): The Best Test Prep for the CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature Exam with REA's TESTware (Test Preps) (Paperback)
I bought this book 1 week before my exam. I am from a science background... I'm a very slow reader, and have not read all that much other than the force-fed stuff in high school...

I reviewed the terminology in the book (i.e., allusion, simile, etc.) and took both of the practice exams on the CD (and passed both on the first try)... thus, I felt prepared enough for this exam...

HOWEVER, it seems that the College Board may have made this test more difficult (than the other reviewers make it seem)... The passages on my exam were a bit longer in general, and as I said, I'm a slow reader, so that was a bit of a biatch... Also, at the actual testing center, the font on the screen was WAY TOO BIG, and several times, a question referred to a word on line x when the word was really on line y...yes, another biatch.

I found the actual exam a slight bit more challenging than the practice exams in the book and on the CD, and I ran out of time, started...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Good preparation for the CLEP, January 13, 2005
This review is from: CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature with CD-ROM (REA): The Best Test Prep for the CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature Exam with REA's TESTware (Test Preps) (Paperback)
I used REA's Best Test Preparation for the CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature as my only study guide for the A & I Lit CLEP. The text itself outlines what to expect on the actual test, offers reviews on the literature one can expect to encounter on the CLEP, and has 3 practice tests with detailed explanations of the answers. This was helpful by itself, but the true value of the book came in the CD-ROM with the two timed practice tests you can take in the form of the actual CLEP. I read through the book once but used the CD-ROM almost exclusively. Getting used to the vocabulary and answering in a one-question-a-minute format helped me pass with a score of 68,(50 is passing). I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs an extra 6 college credits.
