How to pass the chemistry CLEP-This book is 1 of 3 materials you need., August 24, 2009

This review is from: CLEP Chemistry W/CD (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP (Paperback)

When the clep administrator at my institution informed me that no one he had ever given the chemistry clep to had passed, I decided to take the preparation very seriously. I began researching how other people had passed the test and ordered several materials. After 8+ years of no chemistry, my chemistry knowledge was not very good, so I had to prepare more than someone who just finished a high school chem or college intro chem course. If you are starting from scratch or just want to make sure you pass this test, then this is what I would recommend. Begin with the Wiley, "Chemistry Concepts and Problems: A Self Teaching Guide." This book is written in a continuous question and answer format that reviews and tests your knowledge to build a strong foundation of chemistry knowledge and problem solving. Then simultaneously study REA's "CLEP Chimistry," by Peel (I strongly recommend getting the book and CD with two practice tests included) with the Chemistry CLEP Professor software. You...Read more

2 semesters of Chemistry can't be compressed into a book this small, but it tries., March 7, 2008

This review is from: CLEP Chemistry W/CD (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP (Paperback)

I own at least a half dozen REA CLEP titles, all of them are pretty good. The history, psychology, and sociology are the best. The problem with this title is that it has to cram 2 semesters worth of Chemistry into a hundred pages or so. A task I don't think can be done. It's not necessarily the authors fault. It's a good attempt, but if you try to use this book alone, you will fail more than likely. My suggestion is to go here on Amazon and purchase a college level text book and study guide that is one or two editions old. (Chemistry doesn't change all THAT much!) I bought both a textbook and study guide for $6.00 plus shipping! Remember, that this CLEP test, unlike others, tests you over 2 semesters worth of material. This isn't something you can pick up in a week or two and pass if you haven't been around the material before. Good Luck!

Some good information, but largely flawed., January 15, 2009

This review is from: CLEP Chemistry W/CD (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP (Paperback)

REA does a good job of giving you a summary of general chemistry, but when it comes to the CLEP test, it really misses a lot of important information and teaches many things that are not covered.

I did pass the chemistry CLEP, but I used several other books. I was short on time (about two weeks of study), so I didn't get to fully work on most of the books. Two notable books I used in my study were Chemistry: Concepts and Problems: A Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self-Teaching Guides) and Cracking the AP Chemistry Exam, 2009 Edition (College Test Prep). "Chemistry: Concepts and Problems" is a great book that "completely" covers the information in most general chemistry classes...Read more
